White Dog laughs at Steve's new method for shopping. Momma plans menus for the week, only now they are tentative. She puts together a shopping list. Steve takes the list and goes to the grocer. Based on deliveries and how well shelves are stocked he adds the needed items to his cart; the items not available the tries to find substitutes that will work. Often text messaging between the grocery and home is necessary.

For those remaining items with no substitute available, Steve "punts" and chooses things in the same food category, like vegetables, that we might slightly alter the menu to make work.

And that is how this week we have THREE heads of cauliflower, no asparagus and no green beans.

Thankfully, we ALL love this versatile vegetable. I had lots of help and supervision preparing to cook it to then be mashed with white beans.
