One of my favorite parts of the week is going grocery shopping with my husband. I run around & cross things off my list. He pushes the cart & samples the cheeses. It just works.

I had to work the better part of this weekend so Garr was forced to do the grocery shopping alone. I really thought it would be OK. He’s seen me in action so many times before & I made an extremely detailed list with a full week’s menu. The poor thing never stood a chance.

Take this naan for instance. The kind I usually buy is in a very peculiar spot in the store. I did everything but draw a diagram to explain to the man where it was, how many I needed, etc. What does he come home with? 18 mini naan. “But it was garlic flavored & I could smell it through the packaging.” K.

Other questions asked while he was wandering like a lost puppy in the store:

“Where is cotija cheese?”

“Why do you need frozen corn?”

“What do you mean by spicy cheese?”

“Wtf is nutritional yeast?”

“Can I get cereal?”

He’s so adorable it physically hurts. Plus, now I will only ever eat garlic naan so….
