Thank you for not being perky

I just went grocery shopping hungry. Always a shifty sort of thing to do as it could go well or it could end up in a free for all in which you get home with 40 pounds of meat and some peanut butter.

Usually I want to go to the new whole fuds near my house. The grocery list is carefully crafted to that stores layout in the hopes that nothing will be forgotten. Vim always wants to go to Berkeley Bowl and I’m often not up for the chaos and parking pain in the ass that that involves. However, today I decided to go to BB right after I dropped the kiddo off at around 9:30. I figured the hippie scrum couldn’t possibly have already begun that early (Wrong!).

I had a list. The list was created while hungry a few days ago and whilst sitting in front of a cookbook. I had plans. Vim had plans. But what in the hell were they?! I have no idea which recipes we were talking about but I bought a leek and some pumpkin seeds that are supposed to go into something or other…

I’ve always wondered why avocados are always billed as “haas” avocados because I have never seen an avocado billed as anything else so I wondered if there were some other kind. And is Haas a type? a brand name? what’s the deal? The other day Vim brought home and avocado that looked quite different as it had a smooth lighter green skin, it was weird and stringy inside and Jack did not like it.

Here is an excellent link with information about types of avocados. The one Vim got must have been a Bacon variety. Needless to say, this avocado was not as delicious as bacon. Oh hey! There is a variety called  the “Zutano” like the kids clothes! This must be where they got the name for that brand. They have some darn cute baby clothes thats for sure. I just got Jack a few cute pieces at the baby resale shop. I’m surprised they don’t have a baby jumper with avocados all over it (okay, not really).

Now that the mysteries of the mysterious and wily avocado have been cleared up for me I think that I can go ahead and relax for the rest of today.
