Why the Commissary and I Just Can't Make it Work.

*Insert Disturbing Photo Here*

It's no secret to anyone who reads either of my blogs that Misawa's commissary and I cannot seem to get along. That having been said, the past couple of months have gone pretty well. I was starting to think that maybe, just maybe, this store and I could learn to coexist for the next twenty-two months.

I was then reality checked into next Tuesday.

I set out to make Corned Beef and Cabbage yesterday. Sure there was a meal or two earlier in the week, but I'll get to that at a later time. I switched things up and put everything except the cabbage in the slow cooker for the day. I figured I would add in the cabbage at the last minute so it would still have some bite. It was a fine plan. Dinner time rolled around, and I proceeded to take the head of cabbage out of my refrigerator and prepare it. I had a quick, internal debate about whether I should wash the whole thing, cut off what I needed, and prep the separate pieces (I needed cabbage for tonight too) or if I should just take off the outer leaves and prep the thing whole.

Thank god I chose the second one. I peeled back the top leaf and there on my head of cabbage was a slug.
Oh no. Oh hell no. Nope, can't deal, I quit. Whether it was alive or not was never determined. As soon as I saw it I decided it could have the head of cabbage, and I tossed the whole thing. I then cursed the commissary and tried to eat my remaining "Corned Beef without Cabbage". I was too grossed out to enjoy eating anything at that point.

Things like this make it clear that, sadly, the Misawa commissary and I will always be bitter rivals.
