Weekly Traditions

Get ready, cows.  Winter's comin'.



Near Waterford, PA.  

One of mine & Adam's new traditions is Wegglebutt's Weekend Study Time (Wegglebutt's is our name for Wegman's grocery store).  Essentially, this entails me preparing  a grocery list for the week.  ("What do you want to eat this week?"   "I dunno.  Whatever you want sounds good."   And so on.)  

Then we go to Wegman's and load up on the salad bar and Adam gets chilli, too.  Then we go and sit in the cafe and eat lunch and visit and then Adam studies and I read something non-medical.  This week, we even saw our friends, Bill & Christie while we were there and got to visit for a while.  Then, I go and fetch the groceries while Adam studies (He has a habit of making impulse buys that sit in our cabinets for weeks to come.)

One of our other weekly traditions is pre-test ice cream.  This one is pretty simple.  Basically, the night before Adam has a test, we don't cook supper.  Instead, we go to Cold Stone Creamery and order two chocolate devotions (But you gotta replace the chocolate chips with oreo crumbs...ooooh, so good.)  

Adam does have a test tomorrow but it's poopy weather outside tonight so we're officially breaking our ice cream tradition and eating hot chicken tortilla soup instead.  

Our other tradition we're trying to get off the ground is:  Cinco de Quesadillas.  On the fifth of the month, Adam cooks his rockin' quesadillas for supper.  This is yet to happen on the exact 5th of any month.  What can I say?  I don't look at a calendar when I make up my grocery list! Here's to hoping that December will ignite the tradition. 
Ole'.

Someday-soon-Baby Jennings will be going shopping. We he/she stay with Dad while Mom shops or like riding in the cart? Time will tell!

Wegglebutt? Who came up with that name for your grocery store?

I think the traditions are a great idea!

Be careful driving PA folks... a girl that graduated 2 years ahead of me in Titusville was killed as she hit a deer and it flew through the windshield. Whatch out for those deerskins!
