Today, I learned something enlightening. The local grocery store (the one 5 blocks from my house, that is), for all intents and purposes, does not carry pearl barley. Or at least that is my current assumption. Despite having an organic section big enough to make health food stores cry, and despite stocking their shelves with umpteen different kinds of rice, I cannot find barley to replace the bag I'm almost done with, having used the rest to make shocking things like stew.
I could possibly have found someone to ask, were it not for the fact that everybody, and I mean everybody, was out shopping today. And by the time I got to the register, I didn't care enough anymore. So I could possibly have missed it. Although why it would be anywhere but with all the other assorted grains, I have no idea.
Clearly, this is all because the Hamdan decision hurt the President's ability to provide grain to grocery stores. I place the blame squarely on SCOTUS's shoulders.
