Prepping for the Big Chill

The iFarmer is one of those people who can go to a grocery store, focused on his objective, say, buying popcorn.

He’ll go straight to the aisle, grab the box on sale and head for the checkout. If he passes something else on sale on the way back, he’ll grab it, pay the two bucks and that’s it. In and out, back home in a flash.

Me on the other hand? I went out for a popcorn run, or as I called it, provisions [We’re supposed to hit 8 below this weekend, so I don’t expect to go out much].

The round trip (two blocks away) took me nearly 45 minutes. You’d think I would be deterred from veering off course when I opted for a small shopping basket instead of a cart. But no. I loaded that sucker until my arms ached. I eventually had to set it down by the checkout when I realized I had forgotten, what? Yes, the popcorn.

Anyway, I spent $26 and now have the makings for several new recipes, including a red orange and radish salad.

  1. Red orange and radish salad…. somebody’s been reading the Chicago Tribune food section. I remember the recipe because it’s one of the oddest combinations I have ever heard of. Have fun!

  2. You know it. I’m a huge fan of the Trib’s Good Eating. I have often made dinner choices on the spot…if I have all the ingredients…by reading their Dinner Tonight feature.
