You see, my mom put grape jelly on her sausage biscuits. Fine, right? And my dad put mustard on his. That’s maybe less common, eating mustard on sausage during breakfast, but it sorta makes sense. I mean, people put mustard on all kinds of other sausages. Do you see where this is going?

I’ve certainly had restaurant experiences I’d rather forget, even at a few high-brow places. And we all love to be a critic every now and then. It can be really gratifying to impart some wisdom on how the pork paillard really could have used a little more seasoning on the meat itself. Yeah, I know about the importance of seasoning every layer. No big deal. But then I inevitably balance the scale by quickly finding something to compliment. “But they really let us take our time on the salads. I didn’t feel rushed at all, you know?”

Self-checkout is, to me, the latest and most all-inclusive version of The Grocery Game. People who love to cook enjoy a highly-dependent relationship with the grocery store, and perhaps a few of you are equally endeared to The Grocery Game, where the objective is to employ just enough strategy to make one’s shopping trip efficient, while leaving enough room for inspiration to take over.

Rosenblum writes: “Frankly, I will not miss the library. Even though I lived right across the street from it for many years, I never went inside.”
I’m not sure how a person can claim that a place isn’t useful if that person has never actually even been INSIDE of said place, but, hey, we all make silly generalized statements sometimes.
