Benjamin woke up early this morning and Jeff was trying to recover from working nights. We headed out to the grocery store so that the sleep deprived resident could have a quiet house in which to rest. I usually do my grocery shopping at Super Target or HyVee. The slogan for Hyvee is "Where there's a helpful smile down every aisle". Fact: there actually is a helpful smile down every aisle. No kidding. The staff there are so friendly. They even give Benjamin a balloon when we go there which may not seem like a big deal but it actually is a big deal if you are trying to fill your cart with groceries while lugging around a baby who desperately wants to get out of the cart and play. Anyway, today we went to Hyvee, grabbed a cart, got our free balloon and began searching for the items on our list. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw Curtis Stone there. I mean I've seen him in the Hyvee ads with tips and recipes and such, and I've seen him in the Hyvee commercials going to the homes of customers to help them cook dinner, but I never thought that I would actually see him in my very own grocery store. Wow! He warmly greeted us with a smile, but when I went to say hello and ask for tips on how to put together tonight's meal he totally blew me off and just smiled at the people behind me. Well, I could see that he wasn't going to come to the house to cook for us tonight which was fine I guess, but he didn't offer any advice either. Oh well. By the looks of the bathroom scale nobody around here is going without food so I suppose we'll be okay. But I do think the whole "take home chef" thing is much ado about nothing. At least we got a balloon.
