Don't Go to the Grocery Store Hungry

I took my mom grocery shopping this afternoon.  It was one of her

"let's really stock up on the specials"  kind of afternoon.  Ever since we

put a freezer in her garage, she has been loading up on everything.  It's

really kind of funny because she is a very petite little lady, but she wants 

to make sure that she has the fixin's to feed an army.

By the time we got to the cashier, her cart was completely overflowing.

Then we loaded it up in the back of my pick-up and went to her house 

to unload.  Then I headed back home.

I stopped at our new Whole Foods Market.  It's quite the 

attraction because Boise never had one before.  The parking lot

was jammed packed, but since it was on my way home I decided 

to pick up a few things.  

 I was tired and hungry.  I had not eaten since breakfast and it

was now 4:45 PM.  The first thing I spotted was Black Box Cabernet

Sauvignon on sale.  Into my cart it went.  Oh, and then, veggie pizza

right out of the oven.  I'll just grab a couple of slices for an appetizer

before dinner.

Got home.  Threw two small Idaho spuds into the oven.  Thank

goodness I thought to marinade a flank steak earlier in the day.

I poured myself a big glass of wine and  brought out a platter

 of pizza bites to share with David, who was in his chair

watching football.

Ah ...

Just a few moments to relax before I toss a salad and start 

grilling the flank steak.  Gee that pizza was good.  Too bad I 

didn't buy more!

I am joining Yvonne.  Trust me, she and her crew will

have some great recipes for you.  At the moment I am in my

pre -Thanksgiving chef down time.  Grilling a flank steak, tossing

 a salad and picking up some  ready made pizza from Whole Foods 

 Market is as creative as I get!

On The Menu Monday

Wasn't that good pizza Bentley?  Did momma tell you that she

also bought some pie while she was there?  It's a surprise for

your daddy after dinner, so don't breathe a word.

Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
