How do you grocery shop?

[nakedfrog]

Me: what do you guys want to eat?
Fam: Don't know
Me: ok we are going to eat x
Fam: no we don't want x
Me: so what do you want then?
Fam: don't know.

Every. Fucking. Meal.

So glad the kids are moved out and I can just make whatever the hell I want for dinner. And when I cook for my partner, as long as it doesn't have capers or fish in it, she'll eat it.

I've done it both ways, I'm usually quite efficient but many's the time I wandered aimlessly in a supermarket and didn't buy a thing. These days I don't do that.

Always upvote The Clash. What a great album!

I would stop shopping at Sam's Club, because the Waltons are some of the worst people. Problem is; The scan&go app.

I also contend that calling those of us that peruse Zombies is a form of projection. Because those of you that go in with a list and follow it, fast and efficiently, are NPCs. You can't deviate from your programmed paths. 🤖 We, the playable characters, get to interact with everything. 😁

Most of the stuff in the grocery stores I don't want. All that processed food... it's mostly really bad for you. I see a lot of stuff I would enjoy eating but it would make me fat, clog up my arteries, slow me down, give me diabetes, ultimately make me very unhappy because it would be a betrayal. So, I DON'T!

"In your opinion".

Works great to induce projectile-vomiting for me.


Acid in tomato sauce can be cut/reduced sans dairy in several ways, the simplest of which is using baking soda. (just be sure to reduce added salt accordingly)

There are also non-dairy methods to thicken/smooth sauces.

Oh, this is a misperception - the dairy doesn't apply to the red sauce!

1. This only applies to the ground beef
2. The raw ground beef itself (plain) is soaked in heavy cream for a few hours
3. Then it's cooked up, by itself - no other ingredients, no tomato sauce. It can then be used for tacos, chili, burritos, etc.

The heavy cream is specifically to tenderize plain, raw ground beef. More details:

Did my every-other-week Costco/Trader Joe's run yesterday (recently stretching to more like every 3 weeks), my refrigerator's shelves were getting kind of bare:

Spent around $150, all food items.

Costco had non-organic Romaine lettuce, so I bought my organic Romaine at Trader Joe's. Also my organic onions. Can't count on Costco to have what I want in produce. It's a crap shoot. But Trader Joe's is relatively DEPENDABLE! Their prices aren't too bad, either.
