i love grocery shopping. i prefer going early in the morning or late at night to avoid big crowds. but i find it therapeutic, finding the best produce and choosing the right ingredients for the right meals.

i think the nicest thing, for me, is that grocery shopping is a series of very simple decisions. what kind of lunch meat to buy? what kind of cereal? its nice to be presented with a bunch of decisions that require little thought. i spend a great deal of time making difficult decisions at work, so grocery shopping is a refreshing change.

some of my best recipes, especially soups, are found by simply wandering through the store and thinking about the potential of different items on the shelf. i try to write down only the bare necessities, preferring to come up with meal ideas as i move through the store.

but maybe thats just me.
