I walk into the vegetable market holding a peice of paper and full of confidence . . . yeah right!!! Im on the phone to my mum going "what does green qarnabee6 look like?? is it the tree thing?? is it brocolli??"
Im all for grocery shopping - not a problem there at all. Im actually very used to it and Ive been doing it for almost 4 months when my parents were out of town. But I have my limits. I dont usually do vegetables and meats. Im ok with fruits cos I can at least tell the difference between ripe, semi-ripe and over-ripe. I can even do the watermelon tapping test to tell whether its a good one or not. Fish market is a total no-no for me. Since Im allergic anyways, why put me through the misery and the stench of a fish market!!!
Of course, despite my extensive experience with supermarket shopping, I just CANNOT for the life of me handle a trolley. Im great with baskets but trolleys are a nightmare. I make the classic mistake of leaving my clutch and car keys in the trolley and walk away looking for something. I cannot begin to tell u the number of times a supermarket staff thought the trolley was abandoned and went about returning everything to the shelves OR the number of times im running around looking for my car keys cos they fell through the bars of the trolley. Im a disaster.
And god forbid I get a phone call while in a supermarket. I forget myself and laugh and giggle and chat away (meanwhile leaving my trolley desserted yet again) and walk around aimlessly up and down the aisles. If its a message its even worse, I just suddenly stop in my tracks to reply to the message causing traffic and the occasional trolleys bumping into me because of the sudden halt. I get so distracted and chances are I will pick up at least a dozen things that are not on the list because it makes me feel glamourous. A jar of sundried tomatoes, ementhal cheese cubes, sparking peach water, etc.
God help my husband if I ever go shopping with him.

omg u make me feel better...lol! my entire family's away, leaving me home-alone. so yesterday i decided to cook LOL. i went grocery shopping and bought meat n all that.
now, i have cooked chicken before. and being stupid that i sometimes am, i thought meat would take only a teeny-weeny bit longer. anyways so i cant use a pressure cooker and i cooked 1kg of meat with rice. i boiled the rice and thought i'll drain it once the meat is ready. the meat took AGES...like, more than an hour and it still wasnt tender. so i thought oh what the hell...i went to see the rice and i realized the water got absorbed in the rice. so the rice lumped together and was all wet. yuck. yuck. LOL..!!
we should go to carrefour together sometime :P
and here i was thinking i was the only one who doesn't know/go (how to) shop
lol
you two are hilarious...
ever considered a sitcom?
:P
md - i wont even talk about my cooking techniques. once i made something up and put all kinds of spices INCLUDING paprika into a rice and chicken dish and everyone loved it. but when i tried making something by the book, it tasted like hospital food.
so how about it MD?? a sitcom??
