I know this probably isn't the most interesting posting I've ever done but lately my priority has been finances and cutting back (forget the previous posting at the thrift store....that was a little slip-up on my budget) and I have also been trying to eat healthier, exercise and all that good stuff. I was planning on making broccoli cheddar soup so I went to the store to get a few items for that and LO & BEHOLD......they must have just filled the cart for reduced items and it was the same rush of adrenaline I get from ANY good bargain.....WHOOSH! I got all those vegetables for $2.50 plus 4 grapefruit for .59 but I had washed those and put them away already. Have I just not been paying attention (very possible with me) or are these wonderful prices? And the stuff is not rotten or even bad. The oranges maybe one, the turnips (those are turnips aren't they?) not at all. The eggplant is perfect....unless I cut into them and find they were accidentally frozen or something. I mean REALLY..,,,considering the cost of fresh produce nowadays I felt like I'd won the lottery! Now....what do I do with it all....let's see....grapefruit for breakfast and zest the peel from those and the oranges for putting in with your coffee brewing in the morning and is that ever tasty! Eggplant parmesan for sure, turnips and potatoes with a roast chicken? And the oranges are just pure pleasurable eating unless I want to make an orange chicken dish but I think not....I'll just eat them!
