    Naw that’s just part of getting old.

    My younger self would be very disappointed at the things I find exciting now.

    I recently found an Indian grocery store that stocks those Heinz beans in the teal can that are popular on toast in the UK! …turns out they’re not very good. But I found them!!

        Aw fuck. This is my cue to confront my own bias: my palate is Americanized as fuck. Hell, my own mother probably had a corn syrup subsidy to add it to her tit juice before feeding it to me as a baby.

        So, take my culinary assessment with a grain of salt sugar.

      Younger me might be disappointed in a lot of things, but my fascination with new and interesting foods would not be a disappointment at all! If I told me “We’re really into brie and canning salsa” we’d be delighted!

    Typically if someone asks me a very off key question like this, I assume it’s because they want to be asked that question in order to start a conversation they have in mind. So I would usually give some answer: “I’m really enjoying baking bread right now, so I suppose flour.”

    Then ask “what about you?” Which is usually when the really interesting and often much more off key conversation starts. If not, I can start talking about baking bread, so it’s win/win for me!

    Dude, Newman’s Own has a sourdough crust frozen pizza and it’s amazing. It’s now our go-to, “I’m too mentally drained to cook,” food.

    A choice of groceries? Mister Moneybags here has so many choices for his groceries he has the luxury of having a preference of some over others. Ladies, if you go home with this guy you get your choice of breakfast the next morning. /s

    I had a couple eggs a few weeks ago, couldn’t afford orange juice though. Today I can’t even afford toilet paper. Don’t ask why I’m not wearing any socks…
