Safeway woes

Last night, while wandering around Safeway looking for dinner, I realized that while I was hungry, there was absolutely nothing I wanted to eat. For the second night in a row. Both nights, I decided I wanted lobster, but my Safeway doesn't carry it. Not even in the freezer. And I checked both nights, too, just in case I missed something.

I don't really know why I'm feeling uninspired by food; it's not normal for me. I spent several hours over the weekend looking through cookbooks. I didn't find a single thing that appealed to me. I can't think of anything I want to eat, and then when I do, it's something like lobster that I can't find.

Also, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't go to the store on my way home from work. I don't think most Americans shop and cook like that. I think I am lucky. Almost every night that I eat at home, I stop at the store on the way home. If I already know what I want, and it's something simple, I'll just go to the bodega, since the lines are shorter. If I don't know what I want, I'll go to Safeway and spend some time wandering around looking at stuff, waiting to be inspired. Sarah & Cap, my friends who used to live in Brooklyn but who now live in Los Angeles, told me that their biggest lifestyle change, aside from going from no cars to two, was adjusting to the idea of weekly grocery shopping instead of nightly.

Has anyone cooked or eaten anything fantastically good lately? I need ideas.
