Grocery confidential

Scene: Safeway. Steve and I are contemplating the vanilla selection.

Steve: Which one?

Me: I don’t know, the organic is probably better, but it’s also sixteen dollars.

Mustachioed Clerk (sotto voce): Have you considered Aisle Twelve?

Me (blinking): No…what’s on Aisle Twelve?

M. C. (with evident satisfaction): Mexican vanilla.

    We did, indeed.

    He also told us that he made his own by infusing vanilla beans in vodka.
