logs and garlic.

we are not fans of garlic in this household. ok, we like garlic bread, and garlic powder, and even garlic salt, but fresh garlic or garlic flavoring in sauces can be pretty overpowering. once you have that taste in a dish, it's pretty difficult to mask.

justin and i went grocery shopping the other day. he had asked me to make alfredo noodles, but instead of making my homemade sauce and noodles (which are so unhealthy we call them 'fat noodles'), i had him choose a jar of sauce from the store and i would fix it up semi-homemade style with some little additions at home.

we were bringing groceries in and putting them away at home when i pulled out his sauce selection and sat it on the counter for the next night's meal when i noticed a little purple word on the label: garlic.

i said, "justinnnn, you got GARLIC alfredo sauce! you really have to be careful when you are picking things out and actually pay attention to what you are getting."

he was disappointed and he apologized.

only minutes later, i was pulling canned goods i'd chosen at the store from the plastic (no, we don't go green) bags. pork and beans, corn, petite diced tomatoes, and fire roasted diced tomat- what?!

GARLIC fire roasted diced tomatoes?! TWO cans?!

"...First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye." -Luke 6:42

and then i had to tell justin about the garlic tomatoes.

happy saturday!

  1. Haha, oh dear. Fire-roasted-humble-diced tomatoes aren't funny, but they sure were a good read. :)
    I love the new blog, absolutely love it.
