Bread

We eat a lot. Seriously. A LOT! There is this little market I like to shop at and this poor checkout guy, always the same guy, dreads me. I know it. First of all the shopping carts they have there, the smart cars of the shopping cart world, are too damn small for all of the food I buy. So I make my children...the ones who are capable (Charlotte, your day is coming) push carts too sometimes. We fill those up too. Secondly, I almost always forget to bring in my ever so trendy canvas reusable shopping bags. This visibly pisses off checkout guy. And third, but not last---because I am sure there are other reasons I am over looking; I think I am funny. Checkout guy clearly does not. I am waiting for the day that we get banned from the store for holding up the checkout line week after week, except for the fact that I am pretty sure we singlehandedly keep them in business.
Okay, I admittedly have been accused of being somewhat of a food snob. If feeding my family whole, organic, healthy food makes me a 'snob' then that is a title I am happy to have acquired. When it comes to food you often get what you pay for. Good food is not usually cheap. I won't disclose how much I spend of food from week to week, but I'll say this much--- It is shocking! For example: four days ago I bought 20 pounds of apples; today we have five pounds plus two apples remaining. Today I baked six loaves of bread; three of them have already disappeared. When I buy bananas I don't buy one bunch, I buy four or five. I buy olive oil by the gallon and it lasts maybe two or three months. I can blow through a 25 pound bag of flour in just a few weeks easily.
We eat well.
I like that.
