We had an errand to St. Clair this week to the West Marine there for fresh flares since ours expire this month and we intend to do some Lake Erie sailing.

For some silly reason, I’d never figured out just how close that store is to Danny’s Deli. It was too early for a sit-down lunch, but it wasn’t too early for a take-out lunch and so I asked my entourage (never run errands without your children) what they thought. I have an adventurous three year-old and a bold seven year-old and so of course the answer was yes.

I called to make certain they were open and we walked the two-thirds of a block and crossed the street.

We ordered a pound of Corned Beef, cookies for three, paid for our purchases and headed back West Marine where we left the car.

I’m not sure who was more excited, but perhaps the children were.

We stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get some Deli Rye, then scooted the rest of the way in anticipation. Imagine my surprise when the other three, who were running late, were still at home! (Translation: We’d have to share. With three others.)

I never did get any pictures taken. That pound fed all six of us and the only things left were a couple of pickles.

I guess I’ll just have to get two pounds next time!
