What's in Your Grocery Cart?

I just made a new friend this week. It seems we have a lot in common, including driving the same make, model and color of van! Our mutual friends have been telling us how they can't believe we haven't met, yet, b/c we are so much alike!

Well, we decided to go the coffee shop to surprise my oldest son (actually little bro wanted to do this-I wanted to avoid rush hour traffic and head home after the piano lesson). About ten minutes after arriving, my new friend showed up, just as my son was getting off work. My new friend's daughter also works at the same place. It was soo good to finally meet my new friend in person! We met up on Facebook earlier in the week, so the timing of running into her was uncanny, after this whole past year of knowing about this family and hearing all these wonderful things from my teens about the family. I knew two of her kids, and have even eaten with them, and she knows my oldest two. So it was great finally to meet!

So one of the last things she asked me (as we were inspecting each others' exact vans) was "what kind of groceries did you buy?" because I had a trunk full :-). That gave me an idea for a fun post.

We decided to skip making veggie and tofu stir-fry this week, so that is absent from our more typical grocery list.
