What do you buy?


When I go to the store I usually have a list. Milk, eggs, cereal, apples, bread. These are common items that I buy. When I don't have a list an item or two that I normally wouldn't buy sneaks in. Sometimes it's ice cream. Once I brought home NutriGrain Bars. When I send Ben to the store it's usually because I forgot something. I'll call him on his way home from work and ask him to pick up an avacado. He usually ends up with about five items. These aren't junk food because my wife doesn't usually get them items. (Although those do creep in.) These are totally random, I strolled down the aisle and decided to throw it in items. He has come home with bananas, chile peppers, a jar of spaghetti sauce, some raisins, and of course....baked beans. He always picks up baked beans. They are his quintessential 'if we have an emergency we are going to want baked beans' item. He figures we will live off them if the hurricanes ever veer west. We have about 40 cans. This time he came home with these two items. The baked beans I am used to....the other....well, let's just say he couldn't pass up the name.

I think that to many people just don't know and appericiate what Ben brings to that family. Nobody should have to go through life without experiencing it all and thank goodness for your gilrs that they have him and won't grow up without experiencing the finer things in life. I have to make sure my family doesn't live to sheltered and pampered as well.Ps i'm sure you can tell who's comment this is but audry is worried it will be confusing. As if she would appriciate his taste and forsight with the beans?

I love Ben...I remember some of the weird things he would make for dinner and then make us eat. Like tortilli shells covered in honey and green food coloring. Seeing that jar brings back memories. :) You're girls are going to have a fun time growing up with him.

What no hot dogs or a roll of some kind? You can't even eat the baked beans without the baked bean quintessential side dishes.
