Let me start off by saying, for someone who lacks culinary skills, I certainly love to go grocery shopping. I could spend hours and hours wandering the aisles. I normally hate crowds but not at the grocery store! Anytime you want to go, I’d love to join you.
(Side Note: I believe it was Time Magazine who quoted Yo Yo Ma as saying “I absolutely love to go grocery shopping.” What are the odds, sharing a love of grocery shopping and classical music? I bet he can actually cook though…)
Anyways, if you haven’t caught on by now I really love grocery shopping. When a new fancy little grocery store opened up down the street from my office I was thrilled. I stopped by all the time, mostly to get little snacks because let’s face it I can’t cook.
A couple weeks ago, I had just paid and was ready to be on my way with some delicious treats when I managed to trip. Not just a stumble. This was a full-out face plant. Because I was holding onto my purse and my shopping bag I didn’t even catch myself. It was quite epic. Rather than responding when the clerk asked if I was ok, I fled the scene.
As I was walking back to the office about a block away I burst out laughing. Not only did I have a major wipe out and at a public place that I go to regularly, I now looked like a crazy person laughing hysterically…alone.
Cooking Lesson #2: Don’t shop at fancy grocery stores if you can only boil water.
