I just returned from my
Friday shopping. I like to think I go shopping on Friday and get
everything I need for the coming week but in actuality I think I'm
just doing recreational shopping. Because, I know I'm going to
probably return to the market on Saturday/tomorrow because it's
somewhere to go somewhere to spend my money on something I can
justify. I mean after all one can always justify food in my right?
Today I actually formed
the list. The usual suspects were on it bananas, coffee, one can of
evaporated milk, jalapeno peppers (pickled) grapes, cottage cheese
and some more exotic items this week dark silk coffee, paper bowls
and the grapes were a dollar more pound than they were last week but
I got pound and a half and also this week I impulsed and got two
dollars worth of yogurts at three yogurts for a dollar. I don't eat a
lot of yogurt, I should eat more I guess, but I like having yogurts,
around in the back of the fridge, lurking. Sometimes, when I want a
real treat I will go to the back of the fridge and see who's there
and who wants to be part of my life. Luckily, the guy at the smoked
ribs and brisket counter was not around. I was weak today I may have
purchased a whole pound of smoked brisket. Right now, the smoked
brisket's they have on the weekends are my weakness. The ribs I am
not too worried about, I can pass them up no problem but the brisket
is a different matter. She I really enjoy this facet of my market you
have the sky cut Ms. Ribs up every weekend. I used to think he was
part of the market to kind of asthmatic is also an independent smoked
meat vendor of some sort. He usually has his sacrificial rack of ribs
and brisket available cutting up into small sample size which fits
into a good size paper cup with the toothpick. Nothing like samples.
I try not to be obvious below one of those local culture folks that
live for the free samples? I've never purchased a whole pound of the
smoked brisket and it's hard to justify my little head for $13. What
really must be pass them up is being cognizant of the amount of fat I
would ingest sucking down this succulent meat. However, I am one day
going to either purchase a pound or the whole brisket. This guy has
these smoked brisket's stacked like cordwood in the little heat box
which displays the succulents to the folks walking by. Luckily, I
think the amount of calories this would force on my body the three
pass this up every week but one of these days I'm sure I will weaken.
It's Friday and I got out
of there spending less than 40 bucks which is really not too bad. I
even got sour cream which is I had no justification for except for
some potatoes that I've yet to be cooked. I don't know what got into
me except that it's Friday night and shopping at the market is my
pathetic form of recreation.…
