You Know....

You know it's time to make a trip to the grocery store when:

  • you defrost a non dairy creamer to use in a coffee you don't actually need to be pareve
  • your husband comes home from yeshiva with a tray/carton of tradition soups (okay, really he stopped at the store first..)
  • all you have to take for lunch is a tube of saltines and winkies (which are not actually a filling candy)
  • the saltines & winkies lunch follows half a bag of graham crackers & winkies lunch
  • your co-worker sits down to meet with you and your stomach starts verbally threatening her.
  • you start a post about grocery shopping...

    " . . . they took out all the MSG! (And hence the taste)" Taste, schmaste--it's been rumored for many years (since I was your age) that MSG causes headaches. I'm glad they took it out.

    Ahhh yes, there is nothing quite like the created "hey, it's almost like i'm using bad language but not really because i combined it with a regular word and now it's just a cool hippy concoction" language of the bais yaakov/yeshiva student.

    It's flippin' awesome!!!

    I used to sometimes eat tradition soup without putting any hot water in. The noodles are so satisfyingly crunchy!

    That is SO NOT what I was doing! Hmph!!

    And I have full rights to Hating on the Winkies, so whenever you decide to figure out how to play a guitar (ahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhaha) YOU BETTER ASK ME FIRST!

    Besides, Hating on the Winkies sounds like a song that Dorothy would sing with the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion as backup singers.

    Especially true if the pareve creamer is meant to go with the breakfast cereal, rather than in coffee.

    Or, even worse: Putting the pareve creamer in the refrigerator the night before to defrost, intending to try to convince the kids it'll taste the same as milk in their cereal, but realizing, the next morning, that it's a moot point, because we were out of cereal, anyway.

    Thank G-d for oatmeal!

    I think that a scant smattering of random ingredients is exactly the impetus an aspiring Gordon Ramsey needs to create exciting new culinary masterpieces. As I gaze back upon my formative yeshiva years, I think if not for the scarcity of actual food, such masterpieces as "barbeque sauce and tuna" or "fried bourbon soaked apples" might never have come into existence...

    Ugh - almost everything mentioned in that post is made mostly of chemicals. I'd retitle it "You know it's time to go to the farmer's market when..."
