shopping

I love checking out people's (or is it peoples? i never know these grammar things and i really should. hello, journalism degree!?) buggies at the grocery store to see what they are buying. I guess I like seeing if everyone else is eating healthy, or secretly buying the buy-one, get-one-free Doritos too. I especially love bumping into friends at Publix and getting to sneak a peek at what all they have in their cart. I was chatting with a friend the other day and saw an economy box of Trojan Ribbed For Her Pleasure condoms at the bottom of her cart. Hee.

So, in case you guys were curious here is what I just unpacked from a quick trip to Publix:


The prunes are for Piper, I swear! She really loves them. The meat in the back is some sliced sirloin that is currently marinating for my first try at homemade beef jerky. Fat free french vanilla Coffee Mate because - much to Patrick's chagrin - I am starting to feel like I need a little bit of caffeine in the morning. The big bottle of salad dressing is ranch and it goes against all of my personal and moral beliefs to purchase already made salad dressings (except for Trader Joe's fat free sesame dressing), but it was on sale and I am gonna try and get Piper to eat more veggies by dipping it in the ranch. Not sure it it will work, but it is worth a try. The little red spice thing in the front is Cream of Tartar because I'm going to attempt homemade playdough. My mom use to make our playdough from scratch all the time when we were little and it's a fun memory. Piper is way into playdough right now too. Cauliflower is for roasted cauliflower - Christa you just made that recently right?
