food i won't buy for dan

yesterday dan and i took jack out to see the people where i work. we also stopped at target and for groceries. jack got hungry and i had to send in dan with a short list while i fed the baby. these were the essentials we had run out of: o.j., miracle whip, milk, grapes, cheese singles, etc. dan came back a loooong time later with "extries", as our friend doug says.

just now i was putting things away and i opened the pantry. i exclaimed, "YUCK!". what dan had considered yummy impulse buys i consider disgusting. this is the food i "won't let dan have": manwich, 3 packages of smoked oysters in oil (generic! ew!), pork and beans, a can of corned beef and hash, two packages of really unappetizing generic cookies on the kitchen counter, and there is a can of "five alive" in our freezer. i laughed when i found the five alive yesterday. how silly!:) i guess to keep dan happy i should just buy the grossest food substance i see in the grocery store and bring it home to surprise him.:) that seems to be the stuff his old bachelor self misses. maybe i'll get him some pickled pigs feet next time.

what's wrong with corned beef hash and pork n beans? :D

5 alive? do they still sell that? i'm surprised mr. t. didn't jump out of your freezer too.

the only meat in a can i want to eat is tuna. and only if it is from a reputable company. and also, tuna isn't really "meat" is it?:)

so i guess i'm down with beans, and maybe down with hash... but not down with meat in a can.
