I seem to be challenged in the purchase of hash browns from the grocery store. Or maybe, just incompetent at grocery shopping. This goes back a few years.
Twice, I neglected to get them even though they were on the top of my shopping list. Once, thinking that I put them in the shopping cart, time I got home they morphed into a bag of French fries. Another time, I neglected to bring them in from the car and the heat inside destroyed them.
A few weeks ago, my wife asked where I had placed them in the freezer which, generally is a bit of a mess. Of course, they weren't there. Yeah, left in the car again, in a plastic Walmart bag, along with 2 Banquet meal bowls. Found them 2 weeks later. Destroyed.
Now, hopefully this is not the start of a trend, but I forgot the bag of navy beans for this morning's grocery shopping. They were on the list too. Or maybe it was supposed to be pinto beans. Not really quite sure at this point as I threw the list away and it is buried in the trash can. No worry, though. I am sure that my darling will put the beans at the top of my honey-buy list. Probably followed by a few exclamation points.
I did get the Oreos though, 2 packs, original and lemon so I will probably merit a couple brownie points in her eyes. It will off-set the demerits for the bean fiasco.
My wife is really a good sport about my shopping misadventures. She's a hot potato for sure.
