RE : avocados

Across the pond here, everyone (the Middle class) watches celebrity chefs on the small screen.
Said chefs use copious amounts of avocados.
They probably have shares in avocados raising or something ^^
Said chefs use sharp knifes in that fancy way to quickly de-stone the avocados.
Aforementioned Middle class copy.

Right. Uncle. Avocados are boring. But they have great nutritional benefits like fiber and folate, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid.

What drives me nuts sometimes is if I decide to grocery shop w/someone else. Then that someone tries to do my shopping for me. When I buy stuff, I tend to get what I know is good for me - not necessarily what I like. Though, I do mix it up.

Not so long ago, I ran into a friend who's friendship is fading fast. We were at a supermarket and she proceeded w/her typical "you need this and that" routine. I said, "Fine, put it in your cart and we'll talk about it outside."

She got a separate cart along w/her own. I 'lost' her and got my own stuff. As I went through a separate register, I heard her say,"but this is his (pointing at me), so he pays for it." I looked over saying, "I got mine." Then ran off w/my cart to the car.

You can tell when a carnival is in town. The carnies are busy shoplifting everything available. Those I knew kept lists -- if they could read.

BTW guacamole and salted grain chips are divine food. Add beer for paradise.

It's an interesting conversation, especially as you shift from your personal habits of list-maker, or spontaneous shopper, and into how we have been buying our food.

It also depends on how you cook. My shopping changed when I shifted into cooking more from an ngredient-first perspective, versus dish first. It means I only need a list for staples I know I'm out of, or something the other half specifically wants. Other than that, we just stock the kitchen with what looks good, and figure out what to make based on what's on hand.

It changes for occasions when I have a more specific target, but not much.

I also like to identify things I'm missing, or want by writing them on a chalkboard in our kitchen. I snap a picture of it on my way out. (If by some sort of miracle, I remember to.)

I get that. I really do. When I 1st came to this thread today, I seen the your post about identifying things and a chalkboard. I was like,"WTF is he talking about?" But then I read the 1 before it and it makes total sense to me. I often do the same thing, but I don't take pics. Brilliant idea!

But yeah, I do that w/a notebook or some paper I keep handy somewhere in the kitchen. Writing down things I run out of as I cook. Sometimes it's not even part of a grocery list. Then, I'll go compare it to another one I might have somewhere else. Sometimes it's on the older list, sometimes not.

But snapping a pic of the list? It never dawned on me. I mean, we all remember our cell phones as 2nd nature right? But a shopping list - sometimes we forget it when we're in the store, it's too late to go back. Thanks Dr. Groove. It's little things like that make life simple.

I shopped from a list today. It didn't hurt. But I didn't tarry because incoming blizzard.

Food-shopping always demands replenishing depleted staples and stockpiles, as well as exploiting bargains. Shop those sales! But with age and my frenzied medical schedules come more semi-prepared foods. I just haven't the energy and leisure now to build it all from scratch. We end up looking a packages more, and produce and bulk less. Sad.

Even more so when we're in the little RV with its maybe 6 square feet of kitchen space, including small range and big sink. The minimal pantry gets loaded from strange stores in strange places. Sure, make a list. That's like one of my writing tricks, where I set plot points and let characters loose to tell their own stories. Shopping-list items are like those plot points: I want to hit them all, but there's more to the story.

i like to make cut backs, from one side of the store to the other. you're on the toilet paper isle, and you go back to produce. it happens frequently. occasionally walking the random isle. cat treats and lightbulbs.

If I got toilet paper, I doubt if I'll go anywhere else in the store except the bathroom. Just sayin'
