An exercise in futility

[offbalance]

After two hours, FOUR grocery stores, and a farmer’s market I STILL do not have all of the items I need in order to attempt to make a soup recipe I was interested in making. Exasperatingly enough, some of the employees didn’t even know what barley was. I only wish I were kidding. Looks like it will be tuna casserole tonight, even though awesome husband of excellence is going to attempt to find me some instant barley and ground ginger. So perhaps soup might happen, even if in leftover format.

SERIOUSLY?

I never had a problem finding barley, i often found bags of it near the beans and stuff. O_o

I could find *regular* barley, but the Food Network Magazine Cookbook recipe called for "instant" barley, a magical grocery item only apparently found in Brigadoon and on the other side of the rainbow. :P
