How many people reading this would get eggs at a āmarketā? Or in other words, when I go to the grocery store, Iām not going to a āmarketā in my own mind, Iām going to the āgroceryā or the āgrocery storeā. How about you?
PS: We do in fact buy some of our eggs at the Farmers Market, but we buy the use for baking eggs at the grocery store.
As we become legendary in our Earthly journey my Wife, of some 49 horridly looooong and tumultuous years, and I constant play the game of who is becoming senile first, you left the oven on, you did not shut the refrigerator door, you left salad on the counter and around we go, kind of fun if you are demented.
For those in Europe you are too young to remember payments by cheque/check, have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque. When I moved to Switzerland I tried to use a (British) cheque to open a new account. The Swiss bank clerk had never seen one and had to ask her manager to help her process it. That was in 2003.
I was walking out to run errands. She said, pick up some milk. I said okay. Oh, she said, get a loaf of bread, too. Fine, I said. Just before I walked out she said, better get some eggs. I said, whoa, let me write this down. Two items is my memory limit.
The Engineer went to the grocery store. His wife said to get a loaf of bread and if they have eggs, get a dozen. He came back with 12 loaves of bread and no eggs.
I donāt let my husband do any of those tasks. He would do them all wrong too. I buy groceries, pay the bills and he has no idea where the salt is in the pantry. He is an āengineerā. Software engineer.
years ago, one Thanksgiving my wife needed thymeā¦she ran out ā¦ so she sends me to the store, and took my 6 and 5 year old grandsonsā¦.we returned an hour later, iād spent like $50ā¦..and forgot the thyme
