I'm out of grapes and avocados...

What do you want me to pick you up while I'm there?







(this is a ploy, designed to help me figure out your different personalities, including motivations...! Clever, huh? [what does 'grapes and avocados' tell you about me])

That we have the same taste in food.
wait.... do I know you?

a nice box of Vella Chard :)

Can opening a box of wine be made into a romantic, meaningful moment? I ask this sincerely!

Dark chocolate -- 60%, and a box of lubed condoms (I might get lucky).

Okay, just the chocolate, better make it two bags. My luck sucks!

Get me a loaf of white bread if you would. It's my friggin month to bring the sacrament bread. Check the dumpster out back first, sometimes they throw the stale loaves out there. No need to be bringin fresh bread. Thanks Dog, I owe ya.

p.s. if you wouldn't mind, could you drop it off at the chapel before 9:30, yeah, that would be cool, then I can sleep in an extra half hour before the 3 hour block starts. Oh, and if you could hang around and give the opening prayer for me too, that would be awesome. And, teach the 12-13 year olds about the plan of slavation at 11:30, and stay after for correlation. Hell, dog, you might as well pay my tithing while you are there, yer such a nice guy, thanks for asking.

Avocados: You live in So.California...(?)

Get for me: Cookies (soft ones).

Thanks.

(At least tell me what kind you get, so I can enjoy them vicariously.)

Some junk food for the weekend's sports, beer and noodles

Aren't avocado's sold everywhere? Yikes.

Not quite, at least a while back.

We had guests from Eastern Europe who had never seen an avocado. Had no idea how to approach one --- strange texture, odd color, etc. That surprised me a little, but not so much as the huge difficulty that I had trying to explain an avocado to them. Nothing that I could say made it seem to them like something that could possibly be food.

Here I had expected it to be a big treat. (Well, it was, for the rest of us. We had loads for ourselves.)

Yay..... I pity people who don't "get" avacados.... I love them.

grapes - relieves constipation

avocados - good for potassium

Me - I really just want a bag of sliders, cheese, no pickle. The dogs like them that way, too. No need for grapes, then.

That and a good read, documentary or movie. Rough week.

Freeze the grapes when you get home. They are awesome frozen!

a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes, some lime juice, garlic salt and garlic powder, and a bag of tortilla chips.

I make guacamole to die for. (Not much else in the culinary line, but my guac is out of this world.)

Colt 45

Two thick ribeye steaks. Couple of large baking potatoes. Giant sweet onion. Marion berry ice cream. A sixer of Guiness. Are you back yet?

A couple of 2liter bottles of Diet Coke w/lime. That'll last the weekend.

I don't really like pork.

Thanks elderolddog but I'll be going to the outdoor market at Rosny-sous-Bois tomorrow, just down the hill from where I live.

I'm hoping that my oyster seller will be there - he usually comes back around now, there being an R in the month and all that ;-)

Have a great weekend

Upon reading your missive, the word roué popped into my head! Go head, own it!!! It's what I'm striving for!

You DO come across as a roué, with all its connotations of experience and light but pleasant sin, backed by matured culture ;-)

How's that for you? Rather like a fine wine which turns into a completely different but much more complex and fascinating drink after about 30 years ;-)

Not that I drink it any more...

So that's how I imagine you as a roué. Hope you like it.

Tom in Paris

Who, me??!!!

How's that for modesty?

But really, I'm giggling!!!!

I want a t-shirt with roué printed, large!, on it, but the accent mark is a tiny, slanted photograph of moi! So, you know, bragging, but only if you look closely.

Real, live roués, right here on our very own board! I have heard and read about roués before, but never knew a REAL one!!

Elderolddog - who'd have guessed??

Please bring back a loaf of Arnold bread and a pound of thinly sliced Boars Head turkey. There's a tip in it for you.

3 12 packs of diet Mt. Dew. That will last for a while. Oh and a 4 pack of White Monster sugar free.

Its my Saturday, and I feel pooped!

If it's no trouble, I'd like

Metformin
Pumpkin Pie
Whipped Cream

and all the exmos you can round up on the way back.

If it's the Farmer's Market, bring home a couple of green missionaries. You can tempt, corrupt, and de-convert them. Then get them sent home. You will have done your good deed for a Sunday.

LOL, this is my actual shopping list right now:

Beemster "Vlaskas" cheese.
Pounce cat treats
Fuller's ESB
Windex
Romaine lettuce
Salsa
