Impulse shopping success
May. 6th, 2009 02:31 pmThey always say never to go grocery shopping when you're hungry. At Trader Joe's, it doesn't make any difference. I end up impulse-buying every single time, and it always turns out well.
For example, I got some sourdough english muffins, thinking I'd put some black raspberry jam on them. Then I wanted some chips and salsa or something, and picked up some tomato-basil hummus. Hummus goes better with pita than with chips, though, and I was about to head back to the bread section when I realized I could make miniature pizzas. Therefore, I got some mozzarella cheese and some pepperoni.
Also boxed microwaveable mac and cheese, maple creme cookies, and TJ house brand imitation King Arthur whole wheat flour. (The last was not an impulse buy.)
After wringing out my jeans from the walk home in the rain, I heated the broiler while I slathered the muffins with hummus, diced some cheese (yes, one usually grates mozzarella. I forgot until I'd already gotten the knife dirty) and put 3 pepperoni slices on each muffin. I put lots and lots of cheese on, and slid them under the broiler for 3 minutes or until it started to smell like toasty cheese. Let me tell you, best lunch I've had in weeks.
