Lunching and Shopping

altivoSo... the grocery list had grown quite long, and we decided to take time out from home fall prep and such to go shopping. Since we have to fit this between a complex feeding schedule for my mare, whose teeth are badly worn so that she requires special meals, I suggested that we take time for lunch out as long as we were going to be out of the house.
The problem with that is mostly that the options are a bit limited. There are plenty of chain fast food places in Woodstock, but not many where you can get a relaxed meal without spending a fortune. Gary suggested "Expressly Leslie's," which is very nearly a take out place. Located in the mall on the Square, it is vegetarian and a bit unusual. But if you opt to eat in, you can. You place your order at the take out and they bring it out to you wherever you are sitting in the mall court (indoor atrium.) So we did that, ordering just a "snack" plate each of their falafel and the hummus with pita bread. It was fine, and more than enough, though a bit more bland than I remember it being when the original Ms. Leslie was at the helm. She sold the business several years ago and we hadn't been there recently.
It was quick, easy, and different. And we brought home the extra hummus for later.
Tess did get a meal about an hour late, which means she gave me quite loud lecture about it. But that's a normal occurrence once or twice a week. She's doing well, and has put some weight back on, so I don't feel I am abusing her that much.
