Nov. 22nd, 2022 01:29 amBelovedest has taken the rest of Turkey Week off, which was a good decision. Thank you, past Them; and thank you past me for insisting on it.
Since I had other things on Saturday, and Sunday was a bit of a wash, today was our weekly shop. It was too late to go to the one store, and I opted to go to WinCo instead of a Safeway (after Costco).
I am a little alarmed by my late-evening good luck with Costco parking. It seems that if the parking gods / Our Lady is helpful here, it might be at the expense of a Less Helpful thing.
To note: chocolate caramel pecan clusters.
To note: discounted gift cards for our nearby Brazilian steakhouse.
The WinCo run involved me going absolute AMOK TIME in the bins. Belovedest handed me bags and wrote on twist-ties.
( An enumeration. )
That took An While.
We also got at least some of the actual shopping list done. Including biscuits from a can, another traditional item.
The motorized shopping cart is one of the ones with the trick seat switch that halts the cart after certain floor bumps. This was A Thing.
This also took a long time, and Belovedest was Very Tired. We got everything in the house out of the car (we think) and then I insisted that I was going to remove everything from the two sacks of Azz Why Did You Bring Home The Whole Bulk Section, to make sure we did not have a repeat of the Allspice Incident. (Pastel cherries flavored with allspice is not a winning combo.)
In doing so, I managed to uncover the biscuit cans, so it was a very good thing that I did.
I also managed to fit all the frozen goods in one freezer or another, and there are frozen pasta dinners for Steph to discover in the morning. I evicted two bottles of frozen water from the narrow shelf in the freezer section upstairs. We miraculously found more mini-pizzas at Costco, and those needed the room. (I had used the last two cheese pizzas that I'd found to support some artichoke and marinated mozzarella balls with salami, and those were very good.)
Earlier in the evening, our shower was interrupted by the smell of smoke and the addition of "maybe if we leave a tray in the oven bc there's nowhere else to put it until it cools, we could LEAVE THE OVEN LIGHT ON" to the house accords, because I had absolutely done the thing without leaving the light on or hauling it out once it was cool. Alas.
Colored sprinkles on a caramel apple look cool, but aren't super helpful to the flavor.
Sliced and slightly damp caramel apples will potentially lose their caramel coating as it slides off. #yolo
