Grocery Shopping

So its been a few days sine my last post, sorry. Since my last post, I've turned 30, I traveled to Fl and had a wonderful weekend with Kate and her parents in the Villages...which happens to be the most active retirement community I've been to. Okay, so its the only retirement community I've been to, but I had a blast. Kate and I brought the bikes down and got in 2 great rides with Mike. I encountered my 1st flat of the year; only to be followed up by my 2nd flat of the year on Wed during a ride to the bike shop to get more spare tubes. I got to do the walk of shame back to the house to switch bikes. Nothing more depressing than being all dressed to ride and have to push your bike back to the stable because you are out of the proper equipment to repair it on the road. Needless to say, I got more tubes and have had many a good rolls since.
So as the title of the post might or might not lead you to think, I need to go to the grocery store and restock. I tend to forget the amount of food that I consume during training and racing season. I find myself eating 2 sub sandwiches, cookies, soup and sometimes a pop for lunch. I start the day with oats, yogurt, fruit and coffee. Have a mid morning snack, either the listed lunch or leftover pasta, tacos, really anything I can get my hands on. Supper, well my friends, this is usually some sort of Thanksgiving fest. If I have pasta, I always add more noodles than the pot can hold and get the burger and sauce going. I will usually consume all of it in one sitting. Only to find myself hungry 30-45 minutes later. I have a co-worker that thinks I have a tape worm, I am starting to think he might be right.
So tonight, after eating just about everything in the house and not having anything left to make a meal, I am off to the store. This will start with a plan. I will walk into Cub (I {heart} my Cub) dead set on what I need to get. What aisles I need to go to and have meal plans all drawn up in my head. Only to walk into the store and have my mind go totally blank. I will look at items that I can't pronounce, only to see if I can add it to a dish and make a some sort of new meal. The kicker is, because I go into the store sans a list, I will undoubtedly forget something. For instance, I am looking to make baked chicken and rice with beans; I will forget chicken. I don't know what happens to men when we walk into a grocery store; but the next time you see a guy in the store, take a look, he is utterly clueless on what he needs. You will see him when your leaving, more than likely in the same spot you first saw him, still lost. So when you see me, please help. Than just to be extra nice, can you show me to my vehicle as well.
