Wait, these things are the same!

Reasons I love living less than 50 metres from a grocery store include: if/when I am wiped and decide I don't want to make food to eat while I am running experiments the next day, it is super easy to walk over and pick up mixed fresh fruit, drinkable yogurt, and butter chicken with basmati rice.

Reasons living less than 50 metres from a grocery story may not be the best thing ever include: it is super easy to decide I am too wiped to cook/construct food and just wander on over with my proffered wallet.

IT IS A TOSS UP, PEOPLE.

Better that it's a grocery store than (like me) a pub! "Too tired to make food... what are they frying tonight?" ;)

I'm still on one of the main roads in the city, and from my balcony, I can see two grocery stores, a bakery/German restaurant run by a nice Chinese couple, both a Pita Pit and an Extreme Pita, Tim Horton's, two chain restaurants, and pretty awesome Thai, Indian, and dim sum places. There is also a McDonald's, but that doesn't count as we are speaking of food. (It is bad enough that I am forced to smell it, let alone even contemplate eating it.)

In a slightly wider radius, there is a Dairy Queen ice cream shack, a Booster Juice, two sushi places, another Chinese place, Wendy's, a diner, and two pubs.

Really, it is remarkable that I ever cook anything at all.
