Today's project: Buy a bun

(We are easily entertained.)

I woke up this morning thinking of a hamburger with a slice of cheddar cheese, a slice of fresh tomato, and spinach. I'm not sure if the spinach needs to be cooked or not but I am sure a burger like that needs a bun. Ergo, I need a bun. Usually I eat home-made hamburgers on just plain bread.

I don't know if there's any place in town that sells buns except for those eight-to-a-package squishy whitebread buns, and Amazon Prime might be good but it's not that good. And I want to eat this burger today. 

Maybe I will just have to dream the bun. We'll see.
