Sunday Ramblings

ramble - to talk or write aimlessly, without connection of ideas (Webster's 3rd Ed)

I have twelve boxes of Cheerios in my pantry downstairs. Yes, you read correctly - twelve. I also have nine large packs of toilet paper - in my pantry - downstairs. They have been on sale and I have had coupons for every purchase. I'm not connecting any ideas because this is "Sunday Ramblings" but I think it has something to do with the thrill I get at yard sales. The "hunt" and the tingling sensation when an item (somebody's trash) becomes your most treasured possession in the world.

I ordered pizza the other day and noticed on the coupon that for $9.99 I could get a large cheese and two item pizza. The word cheese caught my eye. Really? They are going to include cheese on the pizza? I started looking at all of the pizza coupons and every single one of them includes cheese--on the coupon. It was like they were doing the consumer a favor by including cheese-on the pizza!

Shout out to all of the baby cows in the world! I was trying a new meatball recipe and it called for 1/2 lb. ground veal, 1/2 lb. ground pork, and 1/2 lb. ground chuck. I wasn't really aware of veal and when I asked the butcher where the grounded up veal was; the store lights dimmed and there was a hush in the air. He looked at me and sort of whispered that we don't carry that here. I said okay, what would be comparable to veal? Ground chuck was the reply. The lights came back on and noise resumed in the meat department. The meatballs were delicious-without causing injury to a calf-somewhere in the world.

Ah, this was nice! I keep these things bottled up inside; I try not to share too much. It's not worth the looks-which me nervous!
