Marathon Grocery Shopping



My daughter wanted to make something to bring to her Thanksgiving Feast at school. She had several ingredients and several recipes--she made several lists of ingredients according to each recipe. We went to one grocery store and began looking for ingredients--they were out of several of them. She changed her mind about what to make---we looked for new ingredients--the store was out of some of the needed items. We drove to another store--found some of the items but not all of them. We went to one final grocery store to get the last few items. What a pain in the butt--I guess a lot of people are buying things for Thanksgiving already and the grocery stores are having trouble keeping their shelves stocked. Anyway, after we did all of this marathon shopping, she ended up choosing something very simple and easy although it was still difficult to find everything she needed. We returned home and she began preparing her recipes--she was proud of herself for doing it all alone. I'm proud of her, too--I just wish it wouldn't have been so hard to find all of the ingredients! :)
