Foo Foo Food

I went grocery shopping yesterday, leaving Keith at home. Taking your husband with you to the store is like taking small children who fill up the cart with stuff just because the package looks good or you get a prize inside. In other words, you end up buying a bunch of crap that sits in the cupboard or fridge until next time you clean said cupboards and fridge out and throw away all the expired food.

So, not taking the husband results in not spending as much.

But, I did waste $4.99 on this magazine that I put in the cart because, well, because the package looked good and it promised a prize inside with ways to save money at the supermarket. Note to self: save money by NOT ever buying this magazine again.


I've never watched the Rachael Ray show, and I'm sure she has many fans who enjoy cooking her fancy foo foo menus, complete with the oh so cute EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) that every recipe seems to call for. Obviously lots of people must read this magazine or it wouldn't still be on the newsstand, but I'm just not impressed. I like my food a little less 'gourmet' I guess.

I was flipping through the magazine and came across this picture of what's supposed to be healthier for you nachos. Keith glanced over and said 'what the hell is that, it looks like vomit!'

I don't like broccoli, I know it's good for you and all, but even the smell of it is totally disgusting to me, so nachos with broccoli on top of them is just a waste of nachos. Give me unhealthy nachos loaded with beans and cheese and damn the calories!

And what's up with this fried egg on a salad nonsense?

I Really Hate Grocery Shopping...and cooking

Today we absolutely had to go to the grocery store since I was almost out of my french vanilla flavored creamer and can't have my coffee or tea without it. I know the fake creamers are not good for you but I just don't care, nothing makes my tea and coffee taste as good. So, off to Vons even though they are a little more expensive, they have a Starbucks inside and some Starbucks can help make grocery shopping a little more endurable.
Since I really hate to cook and our kitchen is still torn up waiting for a new floor and I really don't want to spend any more time than absolutely necessary in it, of course we end up buying a lot of ready to cook frozen stuff.
Here is the absolute in hate to cook, want to eat now, want it as easy as possible food:
Fully cooked microwaveable hamburgers and 4 minute microwave french fries!!! This is about as easy as it gets, folks!
Okay, well, going to McDonalds may be easier, but you have to actually leave the house for that. These frozen burgers are right there in your freezer ready to pop in the microwave and eat in about 2 minutes! And they actually taste pretty good! Now, the french fries leave a little to be desired, they kind of taste like the ones at McDonalds that have been sitting under the heat lamp for a few hours. Those I won't buy again.

After about 150.00 and an hour or so, we got back home and put all the food away. Then my husband opens the refrigerator looking for something to eat and of course says 'there's nothing to eat!'

We both want to live in the future like the Jetsons where you just push a few buttons and a fully cooked meal of your choice pops out of the wall. The ultimate in laziness. And we need the robot too!
