Guys, I was just in the Blue Goose check out aisle. They asked me if I wanted paper or plastic.
When I replied “paper” the guy said under his breath, “I knew you’re gonna say that.”
I’m obviously going to have to stop coming here. They have a file on me or something.

They have really good paper bags like Trader Joe’s does. The handles are great and they’re sturdy. He’s a disillusioned retail employee… I wouldn’t take it personally. We’ve all been there.

Yep, it’s nothing personal for sure. But what are the odds he knew I was going to pick paper? 50/50 for sure!

Part of why I go there is I can be in and out with a nice paper bag in 15 minutes.

Albeit way too “expensive” to do your weekly grocery shopping (too many other options around) BUT “nice” to go shop for “something” special … which there “is” plenty of … 👍👍👍

You’re getting too predictable. Mix it up with plastic some days, then bring your own bags. Always keep them guessing.

Trader Joe’s is irrelevant. They should only offer paper because it’s the right thing to do

Plus, maybe he plays a little game in his head for fun. Maybe trying to guess which bag people will choose. You would stop shopping there just because of this? Wow.

The real issue at Blue Goose isn’t the bags or the guy. It’s that I never see the Key Lime Bombs in the bakery any more. This makes me very sad. Heart-broken and cake-less, and lime-less, and coconut-less.

Audio (MP3): 20180426 - A Key Lime Bomb in one hand
Guys, if you haven’t had one of Blue Goose’s Key Lime Bombs then you’re missing out. Eating one of those is way better than the time Christie Brinkley kissed me on the cheek. Okay, that’s a lie. That never happened. But my 16 year old self wishes it would have.
Anyways, the moral of the story is that this dessert bomb will literally change your perception of the entire cosmos. Yeah, they will. It’s got a little whip cream swirl with lime zest, it’s got the key lime, it’s got the moist little cake for the foundation, and it’s got toasted coconut. Or maybe they’re nuts. It doesn’t matter. The whole damn thing is delicious. A culinary masterpiece if you will.
The entire affair is exquisite really. You’ll even feel like you’re having an affair and cheating on that chocolate lava cake that once warmed your heart. The Key Lime Bombs are big enough to share with your special someone, too. If you’re into that. If not, just eat one by yourself. I have.
One time I was driving down Riverside while holding a Key Lime Bomb in one hand and steering with the other, the whole while gorging myself. I had whip cream and key lime everywhere. I could barely see. I couldn’t help myself, guys. They’re that good. I couldn’t wait until I got home. Plus, I’d had a hard day at work and wasn’t sharing that time around.
Be quick, though. I rarely see these elusive little critters in Blue Goose’s display case. If they’re sold out, search your soul for some persistence and/or patience.
And be sure to vote Blue Goose as your favorite bakery while you’re there. This is not a game.

Audio (MP3): 20180217 - Ye old anti-climatic climax
There’s an Italian mobster that lives up the street from me. He looks Italian but maybe he’s Greek. I’ve never talked to him but we’ve exchanged waves at the communal mailbox. I have a theory that he’s in the witness protection program although I don’t have proof to back that up. After seeing him mow his lawn I suspect he doesn’t like egg noodles and ketchup.
His daughter is Egyptian. Well, one year for Halloween she was dressed up as a pharaoh so I don’t know if that actually qualifies her as being a true Egyptian.

True. His daughter was wearing one of them striped nemes once and I mistook her for an Egyptian monarch. However, unless you live in my neighborhood we may be talking different people.

Went on many shopping trips to Blue Goose as a kid, remember when a customer backed up into a another car in the parking lot and pushed it into the river! The staff was always beyond amazing, personable, and helpful and my mom knew the manager by name.

I don’t get the Clarence Beeks reference. I googled him and remember the character but I don’t understand his significance.

In Trading Places, Clarence was the guy giving the orange crop forecast to Winthorpe and Valentine in the dark parking garage. It was a covert operation of course. His character was also always in it for himself.

I wandered around in here like moron for five minutes before I remembered what I was here for. But that’s irrelevant.
Look at this flier in the checkout lane, guys! Pumpkin decorating! And apple cider donuts!! Saturday the 28th from 11am to 2pm.
Go ahead and drive/train/fly in if you’re out of town. Apple cider donuts are THAT good.
No, I don’t work at Blue Goose but IT IS the friendliest store around. 👍
