Despite suffering from a bad cold, I still endured a two-hour
torture session, a.k.a. our bi-monthly shopping, at Spinney’s in Jnah this
afternoon. We really had no choice. There was no food left in our kitchen, at
all. Not even cereal. I wasn’t up for it, naturally, but now – with a restocked
kitchen and yummy things in my tummy - I’m glad we went and that it’s over with
for a while.
I’ve probably mentioned it before: the days immediately
following a shopping session are the best, since there are still a lot of meals
to choose from, including fancy fruits, different kinds of lettuce, and other
treats. Towards the end of the second week we start running out of the good
stuff and/or the choices are so limited, cooking and eating gets a bit boring.
Then we start running out of everything, and cooking turns into a challenge.
When we enter the “innovative soup” stage, the whole family knows a shopping
tour is inevitable within the next 24 hours. Three lists are written out, a
two-week menu created, and off we go.
So here I am tonight, after a wonderful taco salad for
dinner, enjoying a freshly made strawberry/kiwi/grape fruit salad for dessert;
satisfying a craving and (hopefully) curing my cold with one meal.
