Grocery lists
Sunday, January 28th, 2007
Ok I think its time to start thinking of making a list again. It never fails… go to the store get everything and head home. First of all the new Krogers is great, but their baggers leave a little to be desired. I, myself, was a bagger at one point in my life. Heck what teenage boy wasn’t…well he was a bugger flipper usually if not. But these guys are idiots it seems. Sure they do proper segregation of items like not sticking your deodorant in with your ground beef, but they take it to the extreme. It seems no matter how many items I buy, or what combo, I leave with 25 bags. Everything seems to be in its own bag. That irks me a bit. Sure if I had a small trash can to use them as liners it would be nice, but I don’t.
I digress. Ever notice you forget the most important thing? I am making taco’s this week, and I make my own seasoning and not use one of those nasty packets. They are full of nothing but corn starch and salt. But I ran out of most every spice I use. No onion powder, no garlic powder, no chili powder. That last one being the most important. Its what makes the pot red after all. I have some garlic and I use it from time to time so I can get by that hurdle. Onion powder, doesn’t really add much in terms of flavor. But chili powder is the main ingredient. The big issue here is, you never remember to get stuff like that. And when you do, its usually when you are in the kitchen in your socks and lounging clothes getting ready to cook. Not the most opportune time to go back to the store. Oh well….time to get more organized in my life maybe.
