Craving the Good Stuff

Thumbing through the Kroger sale paper on Sunday as I prepared my grocery list and dinner menu for the week, I noticed they had strawberries on sale for $1.50 per container. I like strawberries, but I am sometimes reluctant to buy them because I have had occasions where they were sour or just not very sweet and therefore not satisfying. Once I saw them, however, and started thinking about them, I started craving them.

I went grocery shopping today at Kroger, and one of the items on my list was, you guessed it, strawberries. They smelled amazingly delectable, and I think I may have stood there smelling them a bit too long, thereby weirding out my fellow shoppers who were meandering close by. I even had Emberlynn smell them; she obliged and then wanted to hold them all through the store.

As soon as I got home and unloaded the groceries, I just had to taste one of them. I washed one off in the sink, took a bite, and wow....soooooo good. The best strawberry I have had in a while. Now I'm looking forward to having some with breakfast in the morning.

And I don't have to feel guilty, which might be the best part.
