HA HA HA HAHA AHAHAH AHA HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA HEEEEE HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEHOOHOHOHOHHOHEHHEHEHEHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA..

Ohhh gee whiz, I am sorry, I am sitting here in my office, shaking with laughter... Despite my - ahem - creative cooking habits, this is pretty close to my shopping experience over the past couple of months!

I decided, a few weeks ago, to save myself the agony... so now I just make a detailed list of what we need, hand it to my DH, and let him deal with it. The best part is when he calls me from the store... "ahhh, honey, I can't find inositol.... no, I thought it was in the household cleaning products aisle.... oh. ok. You really eat that stuff? Is it safe?"

(I should have taken pictures of his face the first time I served him a glass of soy milk... hee heee heeeeee.... not to mention the look on his face when I gave him mashed rutabagas instead of mashed potatoes! OK, I admit it, I did that just to freak him out, I couldn't help myself, I wanted him to feel sorry for me not being able to eat what he eats!)

As for the barbecue... hey it's summer, right? Fire up them grills! << GRIN >> (Now, if I could just find a way to grill a rutabaga, I'd be all set!)

Does this sound familar?

Okay, I got the grocery list. Let me see... spinach, bottled water, meat, more water, lettuce...how many types of lettuce can I eat and think that it's a different food? Three? Let's travel down to the weird veggie section; perhaps there is a no carb vegetable I have never seen! Maybe even one that tastes like chocolate... I would settle for one that tasted like bread. Nope. I decide to get the eggplant and try to magic them into potato chips when I get home. Wonder about how many more odd veggie nights my husband will quietly sit through before he cries out for pizza. More bottled water, some tuna, pickles, green beans.... stare longingly at corn, lumpy potatoes, and peas. Wonder about my forbidden vegetable love.

Let's go down the healthfood section. Leave the healthfood section. Down the meat aisle, getting funny stares from people as I pile eight packages of family sized lean steaks in my cart. Go to the coffee aisle to smell the coffee. Leave the coffee aisle. Go to the vitamin aisle: hempseed, flaxseed, chromium, glutamine, insotol, biotin, omega 3 acid, multivitamin, etc etc etc etc.... $500 dollars later, I wonder if any of this stuff will get me high. Not that I want to get high...

Down the candy aisle (I'm just looking!). Looking at my cart as I check out, I wonder if anyone can see that I am on a very specific diet, checkout girl looks at me through the corner of her eye, saying to herself, 'This is why this chick isn't losing weight.. she needs a high carb, low fat diet in a big way!' I asky myself,'Is this a grocery trip or the beginning of a football team bar-b-q?'

Thanks for reading my late night post grocery thoughts. Just thought I would share that with you ladies. I feel like my recent trips to the grocery store are nothing short of surreal. When did this happen, I ask myself. I am a Protein citizen lost in Carb world. Ack!
