A strong contender for a Really Sucky Evening award
First, doctor's appointment. Doctor is running two hours behind schedule. Fortunately had a long book.
Then, quest for three things. Ginger biscuits, stem ginger in syrup, and plain chocolate without milk in it.
Well, the plain chocolate - just forget it. Not to be had, unless it be the extremely expensive Belgian import, which seems a little over the top for cooking. All dairy. Forgive me, but why is it necessary to put milk solids in plain chocolate?
Ginger biscuits? Again, just forget it. Over-sugared cartoon biscuits and Oreos aplenty, but no ginger biscuits.
Stem ginger - first, dear Manhattan retailers, stem ginger and root ginger are not the same thing. Second: prepositions are your friends. Ginger in syrup and ginger syrup are not the same thing. Chocolate syrup and maple syrup are not acceptable substitutes for stem ginger.
Grr.
