...first thing Saturday morning...laundry on the line...I do love sheets dried on the line...then I left to pick up the groceries...
...well...that's never happened before...in two years of InstaCarting...
...we got someone else's groceries...
...we had done a really small shop this time...the minimum is $35...which adds up pretty quickly in fact...just the milk was probably half of that...
...and except for the things that we really didn't get...we got everything on our list...
...but then there was this other bag...clearly labeled for 'Affectioknit'...haha...
...so...of course I called the store...and they said they can't take the items back...once they've been in my 'possession'...really?...but I guess in truth...I wouldn't want my groceries after they'd been in someone else's house...it's a weird world for sure...
...so 'someone' didn't get their tea...
...and their pizza thing-ys...
...and their mac-fulls...whatever those are?...
...and their hot pockets...and the person on the phone said they had no way of tracking whose items these even were...but I'm guessing they got another call when that person got home without their goods...
...oh well...
...I got out my Julia Child Baking book...
...and found the long long long (5 pages) recipe for authentic French bread...
...and made the dough...
...shaped...
...and proofed...
...and slit...
...and baked three gorgeous loaves...
...the house smelled so delicious...
...Kitten snoozing...when she's really zonked out like this...it's the perfect time to trim her claws...I can usually get one paw done before she wakes up enough to protest...sneaky...I know...but much less traumatic for both of us than trying to wrap her in a towel and forcibly do them all at once...
...the only other vaguely interesting thing that I did was to bake two batches of brownies...I got out the MIL's ages old recipe...she used to make these for us when we were dating in high school...
...and it's two batches...because the Man likes black walnuts in his brownies...I can eat them that way too...but I prefer them without...
...so then...I made another batch...added some vegan chocolate chips...and put them in my mini muffin pan...because...you know...crust...
...so we're set for sweet snacks for the week...or at least a couple of days...haha...
~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
Too funny that you got someone else's groceries! Bread and brownies look fabulous. Love, K
ReplyDeleteHey K,
Delete...yeah...InstaCart has gotten a bit strange lately...and I'm going to have to steel myself and start doing some things again...haha...
Love,

I cannot wait until the first fine day I can hang out sheets to dry, they do smell absolutely the best. My daughter does grocery pick up at Kroger and one time I was with her for a pick up and she saw them load something and realized it was not her order. Those brownies look fabulous, and fresh baked bread is the best. My husband loves to make bread and our grandkids love to eat it.

Hi Bean,
Delete...yeah...InstaCart has been such a blessing for the last two years...and the few things we've not gotten we've been able to do without until we eventually got them...
~Have a lovely day!
OMG! Are those things from someone else's grocery really edible?!??!?!?! It's chemistry not food!!!
ReplyDeleteHomemade bread! This is more like it ;-)
Have a nice week-end!
Hi Éphée,
Delete...yeah...I know...we thought it was so funny that we got someone else's bag and it was entirely filled with JUNK food that we won't eat...since it can't be returned it would have been a lot better to have been fresh veg...
~Have a lovely day!
