Word for Wednesday - Shopping

For the first time in longer than I can remember, I went food shopping last night.  Alone.

By myself.

And I was hungry.  But I was smart.

I made a list.  And because I usually dislike grocery shopping, I stuck to the list and got only what was listed to be purchased.  Well, almost.  I did stop by the deli and get some small containers of salad to go with the Vienna all beef franks with natural casing we were going to have for dinner.  A nice deviled egg potato salad and a sun dried tomato and pasta salad.  Yummy.  And I didn't overeat.  And I rode my bike for a quick three miles after I ate.  To work some of it off.

Anyway, I got plenty of cereal so that the sons have plenty to breakfast on - especially after #3 Son comes home from college, a graduate, and hungry.  And plenty of Mac & Cheese and Spaghetti Os - because that's mostly his diet.  What can I say?

Fruit.  I got fruit.  Big juicy Navel Oranges and apples and seedless red grapes which even now sit chilled in the refrigerator, waiting to be snacked upon by whomever should need a snack.  Little better on a warm Spring day than a handful of cold grapes.

And orange juice.  With pulp.  Because orange juice from concentrate sucks, if you ask me.

And ground beef.  I plan to make my spaghetti sauce this weekend for Sunday dinner, which I haven't done in twenty years.  Spaghetti sauce, that is.  I haven't made my sauce in that long.  But I DO remember how.  And anyone who ever eats my sauce (especially on Barilla Pasta) will NEVER forget it.

It was a successful shopping trip.  I think I may have enjoyed it, a bit.  I may have to do this again.

Soon.
