Grocery shopping while hungry is almost always a bad idea. I mean ridiculously bad. My basket always becomes full with food that inevitably will go uneaten or frozen until I figure out what to do with it. In an effort to curb that problem, I will only use a basket to shop with, not a cart, so I can't fit as many things in it. Somehow, I still manage to buy a ton of stuff. My basket becomes like a real-life Tetris game. How can I use my precious basket space in the most efficient way, so I can cram as much crap in there as possible?
Today's basket can definitely be filed under 'emotional eating - sweets edition.' Somehow I managed to come away with gelato, a mini cheesecake, panettone, ricotta cheese, and blueberries. What could I possibly do with that?? Oh I know... Panettone French toast in a mug, and lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup!
I realize both of those options are breakfast foods, but let's be real here. I never get up early enough for breakfast. My typical breakfast is a glass of water and a big cup of coffee, followed by a latte of some sort (either vanilla or hazelnut). It's a treat if I eat some granola in the morning. In order to make up for eating a real breakfast, I generally eat breakfast foods late at night. I mean, if it's consumed after midnight, technically it is in the morning. Just sayin'.
My initial plan for this evening was to attempt to make either the French toast or the pancakes. However, Tipsy has once again foiled my baking plans. I bought her a dried cow ear for her to chew on, figuring that it would last a few days and would keep her occupied for the time being. Boy, was I ever wrong. So instead of making some breakfast for dinner, I spent the majority of the night bouncing a tennis ball off a concrete wall and letting her chase it, hoping she'd tire herself out.
I'll settle for gelato tonight...
