---> This morning, opening the box of muffins I bought last night from the bakery dept. of the grocery, and finding them covered in mold.

I've e-mailed my disappointment to their consumer action dept. It's a PITA, 'cause I have to go home to get the receipt, then back to the store. I guess it's worth the $4, though.

It always seems weirder returning something at the grocery store. I've done it a couple times too. Once with a gallon of milk that had started to go bad. I took it back the same day I bought it and they told me I could just go get another one. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll go somewhere else instead of taking another gallon from the same batch.
I don't know, "fuzzy muffins" sounds kind of cute.
