Food for Naught

Buying groceries is what today was all about. From organic foods to killing pet birds, it's all part of the adventure. I bought a bottle of organic Heinz ketchup today. Needless to say, I buy things for flavor first, and then hope for health value. Any way of getting ketchup without high fructose corn syrup is good to me. I like Heinz most because it's a tangy not-to-sweet ketchup. Why not join the organic revolution just to get a bit more tangy zip - if I can.

I bought 5 kinds of drinks today. I bought some kind of chai, some plain ol' tea, something made with a root or something, and then another kind of drink mix. I'm finally buying replacement drinks for soda. I can't just kick the habit on my own, since I need to drink something. I bought 5 drink mixes or brewing bag varieties and then 3 containers of juice!! I'm going to be a heavy drinker this month. Over the last week, I succeeded at drinking soda from home only every second day. In the past, I tried only keeping one can in the refrigerator. That just made me drink warm soda. Do you think it'll happen? I dunno.

Seems I never buy the same foods twice!

All I an say is that there are some things that you never expect to see in real life. I know there are warnings on windshield sun shields telling you to remove them before driving. That just prevents stupid people from suing - so I can understand that..somewhat. I bought a new non-stick skillet, since I'm tired of things...well...sticking. The warning I found on it was more than just weird, it's disturbing: Fumes from pans which have been heated empty can be fatal to pet birds. So am I supposed to assume that it is otherwise safe? What if I leave a door or window open and a bird flies into my apartment. He's not my pet - would he survive the wrath of an unattended pan? The world may never know.
