Aisle be late

...because I stopped at the grocery store for a bunch of things on a gi-massive list. Here's the kicker, list includes some like 50 items, guest-starring; Blackeyed Peas, Buckwheat Noodles, Wheat Sticks, Ground Cardamom, Ground Cloves and Collard Greens.

I pooched the canned collard greens and instead grabbed mustard greens. Wrong. Plus I guess for this Pasta Out of Africa recipe, we needed fresh ones (I got em a couple days later). Cardamom is mucho expensivo - I think the little jar was 7 bucks. After finding dry blackeyed peas, I later spy canned ones...there goes the dry ones...I may have actually circuitously backtracked enough to put them back in their proper place. Nothing beats three hours down at the Meijer (I stopped at the in-store Starbucks and did also try to peep some ridiculously cheap khakis, no proper inseem size I'm afraid to say dear reader). I could have watched Saving Private Ryan including all the commercials. Great movie. At least the frozen shrimp didn't melt. A deli counter stop would have pushed me over the edge.

Aisle be late EXTRA: So after my Chipotle work lunch one day, I decide to get a 'few quick things' at the Dominicks...Ibuprofen, a greeting card, toothpaste and TIN FOIL. Where the hell is IT? Nothing beats looking around for tin foil. or sandwich bags. or wheat sticks. Aaaaaaah, s'aright, work didn't miss me anyway, plus, the toothpaste was a buy-2-save a buck-40 deal. But as it turns out, we had a spankin' new tube of mouth paste under the sink. I thought I used the tube up really fast because of extra brushing related to said new job (see below post...apparently that was just in my head. I'm gonna go eat some mustard greens and floss now).
