Grocery Shopping at night

In order to really concentrate on what I'm doing at the grocery store, I go at night.  My husband had both monitors out at the shop with the volume set at high in order to make sure the sleeping cuties were still as I left them... well fed and fast asleep.

I arrive at the grocery store at about 9pm and left at 11:30.  It used to take that long to have dinner and drinks, now I took this rare opportunity to fill in some non-food purchases, and make the best food purchases I could find.  I am really looking forward to this new round of cooking.

In many ways, purchasing and cooking foods before they go bad, remind me of the computer game Tetris.  It's always moving, and you have to fit things together before you lose control, and things back up.

During the last two weeks: 
*Our daughter really loved her strawberries.  While they are still a very reasonable price, they are not as shiny skinned or red as about two weeks ago.
*I made:  Gold Medal Flour's confirmed best bannana bread ever; lots of bowls of hot and cold cereal with fruit, lots of cut up apples in lemon water, terriyaki chiken, spagetti with meat sauce, carrot parsley juice, apple beet juice, freshly squezed orange juice, a cream cheese spread with cheddar for french bread slices, a huge amount of roasted vegetabes, barley and bannana baby food, mini quiches, nutela and peanut butter crisps, fried potatos, gingerbread tree cookies, brownies from a box, salmon patties, peannut butter/pinapple stew on top of brown rice, a blueberry sauce to go with our daughter's cottage cheese, fried rice, fettuchini alfredo with ham, several ham sandwiches... We had to throw out the brisket that Ben made because he forgot it out on the grill.  I made a lot of my favorite Earl Grey Tea.  Last week my daugher and I enjoyed a meal at Whole Foods where she had all the blueberries, blackberries and other fruit she could consume along with strng cheese, strawberry milk, my fries and my cheeseburger.  Our daugher loves Gerber crunchy snacks. 

During the next couple of weeks:
I plan on making a friend's glutten free cupcakes for her birthday, along with Amish coleslaw for her party.  In order to make the most of the large purchase of food and home items I made tonight, I will make:  more french bread/cream cheese spread/pepparoni snacks, serve daughter kiwi, then mango, then bannanas then bluberries, then cherries, then more applesauce.  Will serve son prunes, then more bannanas, then sweet potatoes.  Will serve husband addional snacks like Muscle Milk, protien bars, and ham sandwiches.  Will make:  things with frozen vegetables, support my husband's grill of ribs, pork and chicken.  I will make a chicken and vegetable soup, beans with brown rice, ham and cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, I'm heating up some Bertoli's shrimp alfredo pasta, roasted cauliflower, seafood gumbo, chicken and alphabet soup, green bean casserole, beet apple juice, and crepes.  I will make sugar cookies shaped like easter eggs.  I will make chocolate tapioca pudding, macaroni and cheese, spici Krab rolls, miso soup, blueberry pancakes, spagetti and meatballs, salmon, broccoli and soba noodles, pizza, grilled fish with vegetables, Spanokopita, pita bread, humus; little vegetable dumplings, carrot sticks with ranch dressing, koolaid, juice, peanut butter, chocolate krispi treats,

I picked up extra baby food, household items like garbage bags, diapers, and medicine such as peto-bismol, and even brussel spouts.   

I would like to make my daughter homemade goldfish treats.
