Grocery Shopping

So I've discovered a new love. It's a cereal with nutella in each bite. And it's fabulous. (I have the breakfasting preferences of a six year old.)

But to accompany my new-found cereal love, I needed milk.

Milk is difficult to buy for a few reasons,

1) It's not refridgerated. It's got the little plastic seal thing you get on condiments on it, so I figure, like mayonnaise, it's safe to leave unrefridgerated until it's opened. It just makes it extremely difficult to find in the store.

2) Not anticipating the problem, I didn't look up skim, 2%, or other ways to denote milk fat... So, faced with the choice of Creme and Demi-Ecreme, I bought the latter and prayed I wasn't buying half-and-half.

3) It's good until March 17. Which doesn't really cause a problem in actually buying the milk, but it certainly threw me off. March 17??

So, minor difficulties aside, I'm the proud owner of a bottle of, I think, 2% milk that is happily sitting in my fridge and hasn't killed me yet. Success!

I'm off to eat lunch - a sandwich with my new favorite condiment - dijon mayonnaise. And maybe some nutella cereal to accompany it...
