Shopping while Hungry

Going to the grocery store when you're starving is the worst thing for your budget, but it's the best thing when it comes to filling your hunger cravings. I bought everything my heart desired, which wasn't a whole lot, but still awesome. Some of my cravings were rare roast beef for lunch, sea salt and vinegar chips, granola strawberry yogurt sandwiches, egg nog, and white cheddar cheese popcorn. I just couldn't help myself. Now I'm so excited to dig in, but I'll do my best to hold off so I have room for dinner. I can't wait to have an after dinner snack.

The Heaven of Food: Wegmans

Wegmans is the most amazing grocery store I've ever been to, it has everything you could possibly imagine. I don't go in there much knowing how much I could possibly end up spending. There's one right near my new and old work place. I went there after work the other day and only allowed myself to carry around a small basket. I seem to discover something new every time I go there. This time I discovered the organic and herbal aisle they have. They have an entire section of organic energy drinks. It's like everything they have at whole foods plus all the stuff they have at your general grocery store put under one roof. An awesome gift would be a gift certificate for Wegmans. Jason and I would have a ball.

They have so many different selections of fresh fish, cut meat, cheese galore, pre-made salads, and so much more. You can just go there for lunch, grab a tray and have your choice of homemade soups, fresh Chinese food, sushi, fried chicken, gourmet sandwiches, and fresh fruit for desert. Then you can sit in there large food court and enjoy an awesome lunch with your co-workers. The options are endless no matter what isle you are on. Wegmans definitely intimidates me and going in there is scary at times, but it is truly an absolutely glorious mecca for food lovers.

String Cheese

When is cheese better than just cheese? When it's melted, or slathered in peanut butter, or when it comes in prepackaged cylinders just the right size to eat one after another until the cholesterol overwhelms your system rendering you unconscious.

Because cheese, like most good things on the planet, is meant to be enjoyed in excess, and anything that facilitates a rapid ingestion of goodness can't be bad. And anything that is good, facilitates goodness and is the mortal enemy of bad deserves a place in every American refrigerator.

So no. I don't eat cheese this way. I fantasize about it, though. String cheese is to dairy products as Pringles are to fried, mostly potato-based snack foods. Betcha can't eat just one.
