Hello, usual good wishes.
Well, I have posted before about such topics as "when is a leek like a cauliflower ?" etc. and how my dear Mr P has been doing the shopping as although I'm only ( !) 61, I'm "shielding" due to COPD.
I would like to say that I really appreciate him doing the shopping, and also that I am fortunate to have him, however............
There have been some "odd" purchases (apart from the cauliflower/leek incident) for instance:
Bleach, when I had asked for toilet cleaner (Himself said that he thought they were the same thing, I said if I wanted bleach , I would have said bleach)
20 Sausages, mea culpa, didn't actually say DON'T buy sausages* (didn't realise I had to!) That sort of quantity is, I suppose, intended for barbeques, we don't have barbeques.
Chestnut mushrooms. I asked for some on the last shopping trip, none available, so he got ordinary. Fine, they did the job, but because he remembered that I asked for them last time, thought I might still need them (I dont, but can't bear waste, so feel soup coming on)
A swede. Yes, it was on the list. However at no point did I say that one the size of a football was required. Current options are to take an axe to it and share it with a neighbour, or peel, boil and mash the whole thing, and put some portions into the freezer, except of course there may not not be much space due to the sausages, see above.
Chocolate, I love that man!
