My buddy Ossama was in town for the football game Thursday evening, and we got together for breakfast yesterday morning. His wife was busy working, but he brought along his 16-year-old son Omar, who proved to be a delightful fellow. We enjoyed catching up and we enjoyed the breakfast, although I don't think Omar is going to become a fan of white gravy. Only snafu was that the place (Just Us on Knox Abbott Drive) was so popular that we felt guilty hanging out and clogging up a booth. So we moved along after a fairly brief postprandial chatting period.
Out of the blue, Ossama asked what happened to the Krogers around here. I was puzzled but told him that the one on St. Andrews had closed but the one in Forest Acres and the one out Two Notch were still there. It turns out that he used to buy frozen rabbit at the one in Forest Acres. So, what the hell, we went out to Forest Acres to see if they still sold bunny.
Answer was yes and no. They still sell frozen rabbit, but they happened to be sold out Friday. The meat manager had ordered more and would have it again the next day. But we had to tell him that sadly, the party interested in bunny would be on his way back to New York by then. But now I know. If I ever get the urge to try rabbit again (not a high probability), I'll know where to go.
The fellas had to get along to pick up Ossama's wife Laurie and check out, but I brought them in to introduce them to the world's greatest cat. They thought her cute but Ossama thought it unseemly that I call her "sweetheart." The very idea!
