Default Well its that time of year again ... Damnit...

Well every year at this time my wife leaves for 2-3 weeks to vacation in colorado to see her family. This leaves me by myself and i usually have to end up going to the grocery store. I hate the grocery store and i refuse togo. What annoys me the most are the stupid people in there. Most just sit in the MIDDLE of the isle and stare at the shelves while doing so they block traffic from passing. It just flat out frustrates me. Combine that with the fact that i dont know how to cook anything that does not come in a box and is frozen i am pretty much screwed.

Anyways venting over, tomorrow i brave Kroger since i am almost out of milk.

I feel you on that I hate going to walmart because the one by my house is packed 24/7. I want to strangle all the dumb people that block the isle and slow cashiers.

Learn how to cook. Its not hard to prepare a decent meal. Try going Late in the day, before the store closes. Not as many people then.

Lol your mom shoulda showed you how to cook, or even your wife lol.

Try some basic stuff like grilled chicken/steak, steamed veggies, baked sweet/regular potato. It's not rocket science.

And yeah I have to agree shopping sucks, try going real early or late, and know what you want to get before you go in, saves a lot of hassling wit other dumbass customers.

To bad you couldn't send the cats to the store LMAO!

why would he need to know how to cook? only thing that a man needs to know is how to use a grill and make meals from it, everything else is the ladies job lol.


but yeah man get a few things and just experiment. wonders can be made after a few beers and some ideas.

TBO a crockpot is the easiest thing to use, get a buncha stuff and throw it in there and go back to it 6-8hrs later.

Hmmmm yeah my mom did not teach me how to cook.

I have lived with 4 different girls throughout my years growing up, they all cooked for me. Basically i have never needed to learn.
