Thursday Thirteen #9????
I know this isn't Thursday, but yesterday was a little out of control. AND, my daughter's (Nikki) 21st birthday - Happy Birthday, dear! She lives in Colorado, so a phone call had to do!Also, what makes this list Doubly Weird is the fact this is almost the entire cart of groceries I ended up with - save for some shampoo for Luci and fresh broccoli and carrots!
Thirteen Weird
Things I Bought Yesterday
FROM WAL-MART1. Two boxes of Sudafed and two boxes of Actifed - just in case. Just in case we need them and just in case they decide to take them off of the market. The pharmacy had me sign for them just in case I was an abuser.
2. Three dispensers of deodorant for Jesse. (three???!!!)
3. A very, VERY large package of mechanical pencils for the girls. I'm tired of pencil sharpeners that don't work. It seems we spend more time sharpening pencils than working on school work!
4. Milk, yogurt (3 cartons for each child & me), and sour cream! Two, 2lb, double bags of grated cheddar cheese (sounds like I was on a dairy mission, doesn't it?!)
5. Carton of 30 eggs. I debated getting a carton with 5 dozen but found the carton of 30 eggs was a little more economical.
6. Two packages of "Pot Roast Seasoning" for which I have NO explanation. I have seasoned my own pot roasts for 30 years. Why buy special "seasoning" at this point in my life?
7. Six cans of yellow hominy. (scratching my head)
8. Four cans of jellied cranberry sauce and one can of whole berry sauce. (no particular plans for it)
9. Tomato sauce in every size of can it is made. Total cans of tomato sauce? Maybe a dozen.
10. Three packages of frozen, skinless chicken breasts. (lack of creativity in the kitchen lately!)
11. One box of frozen breaded fish fillets. I'm going to try to make my own McDonald's fish sandwiches at home for a fraction of the cost. But! . . . I forgot to buy tartar sauce. Oh well!
12. Four boxes of frozen garlic, Texas Toast.
13. From the bakery: Very small croissants called "snails" - two boxes of them! Very good flavor, but actually turned out to be simple, round rolls with no crescent or snail shape to them: just the croissant flavor..
P.S. I passed up the crumbled gorgonzola cheese at $3.98 for 8 ounces and forgot to buy a supply of Kleenex (it wasn't written on my list, only discussed in the car on the way to the store!) and then I stood in line for 11 minutes waiting for rotisserie chickens to come out of the oven so I could bring home two fresh ones. It was worth the wait; although, I think I was exhausted by all that had gone on previously yesterday and my shopping was done in a funk or haze..

Oh boy! Sounds like you might want a "tender" when you go to the store?
Did you go to the store in a drugged &/or sleep deprived state?
BTW: I have a super easy, super good recipe for tartar sauce if you want it. We've decided we would NEVER buy it again... it's that good! 4 boxes of Texas Toast? My oldest *LOVES* Texas Toast & will eat only that for a meal if she can! Happy weekend! ~Lori
Tartar sauce is super simple to make and tastes waaaayyy better. Let me know if you want my recipe! I would like to have Lori's recipe for tartar sauce so I can see if it is better than the one I do. Always on a lookout for something better!! ..Bonnie
