Found myself at a

Found myself at a bit of a loss in the grocery store after sitting on my ass for a month at home. Haven't had to deal with the calculus of daily subsistence for a while. Picked up garlic, ginger, and green onions as a matter of course. Grabbed a Mach3 razor and shaving gel because I left them at home, and because they were on sale at the store. A box of Contadina pasta since I still have a jar of pesto somewhere. Trader Joes has the cheapest eggs and dairy, plus a bottle of cheap (but surprisingly drinkable) red wine, and a jar of capers for the heck of it. Unlike Jamie Oliver (join the JO Club?), I do not consider anchovies to be a staple of the cupboard, although I thought about picking up a tin. There's plenty of food in the freezer thanks to mom, but reheated leftovers get blah in a hurry. Sigh.

Yes I know I should be thankful to have food at all, blah blah blah...
