No sweat.

I definitely needed more BREAD and SANDWICH MEAT. I ran out two weeks ago. I'm no Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd eat all that delicious roast beef if there existed the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I ate it thirty-five minutes ago.

I DID get enough chicken. Most of that is left.

Next time out I will need some eggs and some butter. Oh, and more cereals.

All in all not a bad start!

Yeah, I just saw one the last time I was at Fry's. It was made by Samsung. Here it is -- $3,699 for a fridge with a built in touch screen and a wifi connection.

I've owned more than one printer/copier/scanner that one function or the other has died on, leaving me with either an expensive printer, or an overly large scanner. That would be my biggest concern about a $3,699 fridge with a built-in touchscreen. If one or the other dies, I'll be left with either the most expensive non-internet enabled fridge known to man, or a tablet the size of the goddamn monolith. I'm guessing one could reproduce the functionality fairly closely with a decent fridge, a decent tablet, and a roll of duct tape.

Didn't some manufacturer make a 'fridge with a screen in it that did those things, not the pr0n part, I mean. Recipes and stuff. I remember seeing it briefly in some TV commercial. It would tell you when you were getting low on stuff and offer to call up the greengrocer. Something like that. I haven't seen it since.

The tablet is awesome for that. Cooking, and porn.

If I lived by myself or had any say so in the kitchen (other than the occasional "get the fuck out" I receive) I would have an iPad (replace with your tablet-de-jour) mounted to one of the kitchen cabinets. I would use it for (a) looking up food recipes, (b) looking up alcoholic drink mixes, (c) keeping track of my grocery list, and most likely, (d) watching porn while I microwaved Ramen noodles.

In terms of what I bought??? Or in terms of what stove I bought?????

I did buy a phone and I made several stove jokes over Twitter the other day. Unfortunately, Twitter has no option to show @ replies to everyone if you want. So nobody saw any of my cool stuff.

In terms of you always buying the same things to make the same things. Recipes. Some super easy crock pot recipes, home made brownie recipes (made my first batch of from scratch brownies a couple weeks ago, WOW good), fake chinese food crock pot recipes, pulled pork, home made bread. OH and home improvement stuff.

We got a new Frigidaire stove a year or two ago... OH so happy with the center griddle burner, the quick boil burner =) and the oven bakes very nicely.

My grandpa used to own a farm and had chickens. On a few occasions I went with my cousins (who lived with him) out to collect eggs from the hen house. We would bring them in the house and my grandpa's wife would make us scrambled eggs. I used to love that. Then one time she cracked one open and it was bloody and I didn't eat scrambled eggs for a few years.

Anyway.

My wife does all the shopping which is kind of like a free grocery delivery service. If something happened to her I would get on this bandwagon in a heartbeat. I support grocery delivery, ICJ!

Hey! That reminds me. I got a note from a milk delivery place. Now, I don't drink that much milk, but these guys do coffee creamer and yogurt and eggs.

(I have 36 eggs right now because I kept forgetting I did not have a stove for a while there.)

I didn't know they did this. So I guess this is like the future depicted in Fallout. Retro future.

Safeway and Giant offer delivery from their websites. It's nice, but problems are, they charge too much to begin with, and never offer discounted items for delivery, cutting available items on the website to highest-profit margin items, plus charge for delivery ($6) unless you order at least $150 worth of groceries. Gotta go into the store to get bargains.

It's convenient, but you pay (and pay) for it. I did it when I lived out in the sticks and there was no place close I could go in person to shop. With a Target, Giant and Family Dollar one bus ride away and a Dollar Tree two short buses, I go in person; it's cheaper and I can get the full selection of fresh vegetables.

Upon reflection I guess it's a throwback to the days of the milkman and soda pop delivery and ice delivery. It makes more sense if one vehicle delivers to everyone than everyone having to go to the place where the stuff is. I bet it cuts way down on the impulse shopping at the checkout too.

If Taco Bell delivered I'd never leave.

Are you kidding? I would love to have my groceries delivered! Ordering things online and having them delivered is the dream! We can do it with movies and computer parts and pizza and now groceries. The less interaction with other humans, the better!

by **AArdvark** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:54 am

the question is why did you have the groceries delivered?

by **lethargic** » Sun Oct 27, 2013 11:53 pm

Is this living in the future tho? Getting groceries delivered is definitely something I'd associate with the good ol' days. I haven't seen groceries delivered in anything but the Andy Griffith show.

I would think getting your groceries delivered through some sort beam technology would be living in the future. Or all the groceries would be in a pill that you nuke into a full meal.

I make the same things, so it's become pretty easy to guess what goes into a month at this point. It's mostly curries, which is what the broth, onions, tomatoes and chicken is for. I have a lot of rice and various kinds of Indian food powders.

I don't have a stove at the moment, but I am either going to get one this week or not get one this week and live at my girlfriend's place for a week to eat all that stuff up.
