LOL!! That was great! Now I can laugh at myself as I wander around the grocery store doing this same thing. The produce man watches for me and I think he thinks I am testing him because I have my low carb cookbook with me wondering not only where a certain vegetable is, but what it is exactly. We have both stood in the middle of the produce section scratching our heads many times reading recipies trying to figure out what some of them are. I used to be this expert grocery shopper and could whiz through with a weeks worth of planned meals in 30min. Now I come home and my family is sure I must have so much food since I was there 2 hours and all I have is green stuff, water and protein. It takes me so long to shop now. Once I think I had a grocery security man following me because I kept bouncing all over the store. Anyway... thanks again for the wonderful humor! Instead of having another anxiety attack maybe I can laugh now. At Wed, 10 May 2000, Nethermind wrote: >
