Typically if someone asks me a very off key question like this, I assume it's because they want to be asked that question in order to start a conversation they have in mind. So I would usually give some answer: "I'm really enjoying baking bread right now, so I suppose flour."
Then ask "what about you?" Which is usually when the really interesting and often much more off key conversation starts. If not, I can start talking about baking bread, so it's win/win for me!
Dude, Newman's Own has a sourdough crust frozen pizza and it's amazing. It's now our go-to, "I'm too mentally drained to cook," food.
Grapefruit, mostly.
Grapefruit reacts badly with or nullifies a loooot of medications :/
Gotta have something to believe in. Might as well be Luxardo cherries.
I mean... if you want to make a proper Old Fashioned...
Mind reader!
A choice of groceries? Mister Moneybags here has so many choices for his groceries he has the luxury of having a preference of some over others. Ladies, if you go home with this guy you get your choice of breakfast the next morning. /s
Seems like fine small talk to me.
I've literally overheard multiple dinner party conversations about good finds from trader joes
A fellow Trader Joe's lover definitely transcends the lame smalltalk boundary. I don't even go but the way my dad recommends food when he meets someone else who goes to Trader Joe's you would think they had known each other their whole life.
Trader Joe's is okay for some things. I like their cinnamon rolls and think they are worth the five dollars.
Zucchini is pretty alright.
And cucumbers... eggplants... squash... pineapple... π
Oh, man. A few months ago I, a quadragenarian dude, spent like 20 minutes telling a friend about my skin care routine. β¦ when I have the gumption to do it.
Not a recent purchase, but Costco had these halloumi fries recently and they were bomb. Iβm sad to see that I canβt buy them right now.
How do you use halloumi during your routine?
On rough days I get high and eat too many of them. Helps fight wrinkles caused by furrowed brows.
I'm eating kiwis every day, including the hairy skin.
Colorado jack white cheddar popcorn. Literally the best popcorn Iβve ever had.
Full body shudder...
I picked up some Tobasco Scorpion pepper sauce at Kroger. Itβs no joke. Where are you going?
I had a couple eggs a few weeks ago, couldn't afford orange juice though. Today I can't even afford toilet paper. Don't ask why I'm not wearing any socks..
I was feeling extravagant recently and picked up some Blackberry Dr Pepper.
Foreign born tomatoes. Figured I better enjoy them while I can.
I personally don't care much for sponsored foods but I acquired some post Malone oreos that are pretty good. They're super sweet though so 1 pack lasts like a month.
Actually yes! Fresh basil. I'm making a bruschetta chicken dinner tonight.
I got a basil plant from Walmart a few months ago because it was literally the same price as the dried stuff.
I've been putting basil in basically everything haha
I wouldn't lead with that but there's a lot of "foodies" out there. If you don't talk sports or the weather, food isn't a bad topic at a party. Everybody gotta eat
I'm a very simple being and my grocery tastes reflect that.
But I will grouse about changing the layout in the store for the rest of the night if you don't intervene.
