In which my Inner Child goes shopping
Dec. 26th, 2008 06:40 pmTech Support gave me a really thoughtful present this year- a Hannaford gift card. Now, at first glance that sounds crazy, because 1. That’s our regular grocery store and 2. The money just comes out of our shared budget anyway. But he knows me well. He sees me stop in the Exotic fruit aisle and say “Oo, I wonder what a cherimoya tastes like?” wince at the price tag, and put it back. So he basically gave my Inner Child permission to put stuff in the basket. They were out of cherimoyas, but here’s what Inner Child splurged on:
A guava
A blood orange
A bag of Meyer lemons
A box of panko breadcrumbs
A bottle of acerola (Sp?) juice
A head of Napa cabbage
A bag of plantain chips
A stick of shockingly expensive Irish herbed butter
Something that I thought was a persimmon, but now think was a passionfruit. It had a wrinkly purplish-red shell with seeds in a tart orange goo inside. Very tasty!
My Inner Child was surprisingly health-conscious! (She also watches Iron Chef.)
