Wegman's Chestnut Hill Grand Opening

The day had finally come, and it was today!  Thing is, I woke late, and so ended up arriving after the initial horde of customers had already entered through their doors.  However, a friend who had been in line at the start says I didn't miss anything.  No, she had not noticed any Wegman's chant that I had read of online.  Strike 1.

Right upon entering, I was greeted by their well touted prepared foods.  But it was the break of day, and oatmeal at home awaited me.

Some neat offerings I noticed - they dry age their meat on site in a case; there's a trail mix station where you may make your own perfect ratio of dried fruit/nuts/candy/granola for $7.49 per pound; a fresh ground nut butter station; and a wall of nuts, dried fruit, and candies being offered up for sale by weight.

What I missed, however, and had been excitedly waiting for, was Belgian Pearl Sugar - the secret ingredient to true Belgian Waffles.  Yes, it isn't just the waffle maker with its deep pockets.  I was hoping that with the opening of the Chestnut Hill store that I would have a more convenient source than the Northborough Wegman's.  But no dice, or so it seemed...  Strike 2.

Hopefully, however, that will soon change!
