lazy day in cranford

After the wild adventure of yesterday, today was a lazy day in Cranford, New Jersey.  I slept in late and then went to the comic book store in town.  They had like fifteen boxes of fifty-cent comics and I went through half of them and found four comics that I wanted to get.  I also saw some really odd comics that I would never think to get, especially the twice removed spin-off comic books that star Wonderman and She-HULK (seriously?!?).  There were also some really weird anime style ones and just comical awkward titles and characters.  It was weird and exciting.  Once I was done at the comic book store, I made dinner for the family I was staying with.  I made chicken enchiladas and they were quite delicious.  Except there isn't exactly a "mexican food isle" at a grocery store here and the selection is very limited so I had to use Chi Chi brand enchilada sauce which I don't think has the same taste as what I use in Arizona.  But, I couldn't change the situation even though they have isles of tomatoes in New Jersey and like three feet of mexican ingredients most of which are taco shells and spanish rice.  The enchiladas still tasted good though and after dinner I went with Tessa to visit friends at Starbucks in the next town.  They were really nice and I enjoyed meeting them.  When we got home from coffee we watched the second Sherlock Holmes movie with one of her friends and it was intense.  Not only did we stop the movie every five minutes to collaborate and discuss what was happening the movie was just extraordinary.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.  I would also recommend seeing the first one (which I haven't yet) because it is supposed to make somethings more understandable in the movies.  My adventure ended after the movie and now I'm just blogging about my day while getting distracted by infographics on-line. No pictures today but check tomorrows post since I'll be going into the city again and exploring Hoboken.

Always,

P.s.  My day with real New Jersey-ans taught me so about New Jersey and what I don't have in Arizona including Funny Bones which are a Hostess-like brand chocolate cake filled with peanut butter cream that they prefer to eat frozen.  Also, they refer to Arizona Ice Tea as "an Arizona" mostly because what else would they refer to as Arizona in New Jersey.
