Not starving, but just enough that your body is giving you reminders.

I went to Safeway and I walked around the deli department to get ideas.  I saw a Caprese Pasta Salad that made my mouth water.  Pasta, basil, mozzarella and tomatoes.

I added smoked chicken and olives.  Instead of dressing, I used basil pesto. 

SO GOOD!  I've made it three times since I saw it, and I am going to make it again tonight.

Camo, I'm okay in a grocery store.  I get ideas and buy what I need to make the dish.

If I go to a gas station hungry...Frito-Lay's stock price will jump exponentially!

Taylor, it was so good!  The first time, I made it with chicken.  I wasn't fond of that.  There is so much you can do with the basic dish, and it's fresh!  Tonight will be feta cheese since I used all of the mozzarella.

That's no fun!

I sometimes do just the opposite, go when too full from just eating. Then nothing looks good, and I end up going home without a lot of what I needed to make things I had planned. 

Gotta find that happy medium!

I don't stick to my list when I go hungry.  I had off yesterday, but didn't feel like going out.  That meant I had to stop on the way home from work tonight.  I needed about $12 worth.  My bill was $36.  I do much better when I go first thing in the morning.

Ain't it the truth? And if you aren't hungry when you walk in, the smell of the roasting chickens will get you there! Once you buy the chicken, why not add some potatoes...and an appetizer for the ride home...
