Cheeseheads Unite!

Yesterday I had to go grocery shopping. A task I find particulary tedious. I think food should magical appear behind a stainless steel sliding door like it does on Star Trek. But it doesn't...so I went. My normal shopping journey generally starts badly and ends up with me having a cart full of crap that I can toss in a pan and cook up mindlessly. So, I end up with a lot of mac and cheese and Ramen noodles. This time was different. I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was spring wingding or something but I got totally caught up in the cheese aisle. I ended up getting some excellent Jarlsberg and garlic toasts. I then swung by the fish section and picked up some incredible smoke fish. I then passed through the produce section taking on some fresh pineapple, grapes, and strawberries. I got some of the usual crap too but tonight when I came home I had the fish, cheese and toasts for dinner, followed by a bowl of ice cold fresh berries and a lovely Bloody Mary with garlic stuffed olives in it. I felt decadent.

I realize that I love cheese. Which shouldn't be too surprising since I do live in America's Dairy Land. But I also realized how nice it was to treat myself to something I'd probably only ever eat when out in a restaurant. I think I'm worth it.

If I can get stuff like this maybe grocery shopping isn't that bad after all!

Oh, I HIGHLY recommend those garlic stuffed olives!
