Feb. 21st, 2005 10:18 pmMonday is grocery night.
Old food budget: $1784.20.
Amount spent at the grocery: $19.42
New grocery budget: $1764.78
There has been a lot of bitching and moaning and gnashing of teeth in these parts towards my grocery store's produce department, the bulk of that unhappiness aimed at their lack of a certain cruciferous leaf vegetable eaten by poor southerners and yr. humble narrator, oh my brothers. This evening, however, the grocery store's produce department redeemed itself with huge bunches of the most attractive, lush, healthy, and otherwise appealing glaucous broad flat leaves I have seen in ages. The collards were SO pretty. I bought lots, a pound and three quarters, and there was much rejoicing.
