Dog Bites and Bee Stings

I went grocery shopping today. It’s not even the tasty treats that tempt me in a big supermarket, but the ingredients I could use in my cooking. How insufferable does that sound? I’m being serious, though! I find joy in planning and cooking a meal, but I am not wealthy and these things that tempt me are not cheap. Or if they are cheap, there’s many of them that I need so the small purchases add up. It is fun to splurge sometimes. Less fun is walking out holding my receipt saying “Damn, I didn’t mean to spend that much.”
