edgymama Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 ... When your husband asks you to pick up 'bread, ham, cheese, tim tams and lemonade' for him from the supermarket, you feel super guilty putting it in the shopping cart and want to let everyone going past know that you "don't eat this crap". LMAO I know this was 2 years ago but this resonated with me as I totally told a lady at the store who commented on all my healthy food how the margarine and bread was my husband and picky child's choices!

Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 28, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 28, 2015 When fitting your groceries into the fridge on food shop day is a work out in itself... Yes! And I have two fridges! Husband's son asked if he could store something in the second fridge the other day and I told him if it wasn't out of my fridge by shopping day, it was getting evicted, I need SPAAAACE! LOL!

jmcbn Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 You always have the *best* butcher stories. :-) He's a great guy - he knows his meat, and he knows how to cook it too.... Once you have a good relationship with your butcher you know he's always gonna give you the best cuts of meat. I trust him, I know the meat is locally sourced, and no way would I even entertain the thought of buying from a supermarket! Plus he has a cracking sense of humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 When your date night consists of you eating a compliant meal at home and then joining your bf at IHOP to watch him eat gross food that you wouldn't dream of eating - EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyPeace Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Heh. Although I agree that most IHOP food is not what I'm really interested in eating, I do end up there sometimes. This may help you figure out how to navigate their menu so that you can sit with the BF and eat something: http://www.glutenfreegigi.com/how-to-eat-gluten-free-at-ihop/ The summary is that they will crack shell eggs for you, which are far less adulterated than the mix (including pancake batter) they usually use for omelettes. They use butter for cooking and Pam on their cooking surfaces, which is why all their foods say that they have soy in them -- Pam contains soy lecithin. But I'm pretty sure they will dry-cook instead, and that at least some of their veggies can be steamed rather than cooked in others stuff. They also often have baked potatoes. Might take some research, but I bet you can get a compliant meal there. ThyPeace, has had to eat out a LOT the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyPeace Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 And: -- When they'll do that much research to figure out how to eat at a restaurant they'll eat at once in the next year. ThyPeace, now to research Qdoba... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readyformegahealth Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You buy Dairy Queen for the nurses and your mom in the nursing home, drive back with them in the seat next to you, feed your mom ice cream, while you chomp on a turkey jerky and wipe each bit of Butterfingers blizzard off your fingers and really enjoy the jerky! And, you are happy that she is enjoying her ice cream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmunchie Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You give up on using a regular lunch bag to bring your food to work and switch to a reusable grocery bag. Your mixing bowls forget they were once used to prepare cookie dough, instead have been repurposed as massive salad bowls … for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
