But she said no.
Also, I want to say that I was completely wrong when I made fun of how much of a fuss everyone was making about my Wegmans closing. I went to a foreign Wegmans after work today because I really, really had to do some shopping, and it was horrible. At first I thought it was going to be okay because there were some friendly signs at the front of the store welcoming all us hungry East Enders, but then I wandered around the store for about 45 minutes to get, seriously, ten items. I finally had to give up and leave without the instant espresso powder I wanted. When I texted Tammy about it, she was all, “Did you ask someone for help?” And I was like, “Um, no, obviously. I never ask for help.” And she was like, “Silly girl, get the app.”
Right? Because I should need an app to find instant espresso powder? WEGMANS IS HIDING IT.
And, okay, so I am not 100% sure what instant espresso powder is, and I don’t need it for anything in particular. It just seems to me that a lot of recipes I am interested in call for it, and so I thought I’d get some to keep in the cupboard for my next baking emergency.
So now, to review, I have a boring normal will and no instant espresso powder.
My shopping trip was not all for naught. I did happen across some arugula, which my old Wegmans NEVER stocked, and so I was able to make pasta with arugula gremolata for dinner tonight, which is one of my favorites–topped with some lovely Gorgonzola cheese, golden raisins, and toasted walnuts.
So I guess it all turned out okay. Enough.

The foreign Wegmans probably only carries the instant espresso powder in a gallon, family size tub anyway.
What? Your lawyer wouldn’t go for it? Quel disappointment!!!!
(Ooh, let’s make that pasta dish! Sans the golden raisins, though – I greet those with great suspicion.)
Jeffrey, But where else am I going to get it? I am very sure they don’t sell such things at the public market.
Maybe the new Trader Joe’s. But I’ve been too afraid to go there. It always looks like it’s mobbed.
Tanita, Oh, we so should. It’s delicious. Maybe we can substitute extra toasted walnuts for the golden raisins, although the little bit of sweet is so good in there. I’ll think on it. JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO WEEKS! I’m so excited.
Adrienne, William and Sonoma carries espresso powder in my part of the country. If you can’t find it, I will get you some.
You’re going to have to go to Rubino’s or something. My mom went looking for instant espresso powder for a baking recipe everywhere in Rochester and that’s where she ended up getting it. The sales lady tried to talk her out of it because she thought my mom was buying it for drinking purposes. Of course, this was more than a few years ago so you might be able to get a tub of it at Pittsford Wegmans. Definitely search the Wegmans site at least before you head out to see if it’s something carried in ANY of the stores.
They have instant espresso at the Chili Wegmans,but I am not sure that is what you are looking for.It is with the instant coffee.It is in a jar,like the instant coffee.But you may be looking for something altogether different.
I didn’t have my glasses on,but I think the espresso powder I saw was for coffee.I can’t be sure,though.I just noticed it and didn’t look closely because I had no interest.I just looked up the espresso powder.It seems different than the coffee.
Farida, Oh, that’s good thinking. We have a W&S here. I’m going to check it out.
Julia, Rubino’s is a good idea. I haven’t checked Fort Wegmans yet. I do go there every once in a while, but not often.
Momster, I’m not totally sure, either.
Your HPL picture is my new desktop picture:)
Cool!
Depressing thoughts, but…TURTLE WEXLER!
“I never ask for help.” I swear, you and E were related in another life.
Little Willow, :)
Jason, Ethan and I are just so awesome that we don’t NEED to ask for help.
I find it odd you’ll ask the interwebs but not the friendly Wegman’s employees. Silly girl, you should still get the app.
***muttering about how my method totally worked because see how I now have instant espresso powder?***
Tammy is right.
She often is.
