Cabbage And Q-tips

Just going to the store for some cabbage and q-tips.  It sounds like a catchy, roll off the tongue kind of list, doesn't it?  

We have a nicey not pricey grocery store near us,
you know, the one with the "cool middle aisle."
That middle aisle saved my hubby in a "present pinch" at Christmas, by the way.

I grab some roasted tomato tortillas (wraps) and some blackberries before I reach the glowing cabbage.  Wow!!  What a deal, Neal.  I'm trying to like cooked cabbage and sprinkle into our diet.  I'm not a sauerkraut fan, for the record, though.  
I sweep around the outside of the modest sized store.  I know most aisles by heart now, however I still must "hard stop" at the cheese section.  I may never know what I'm missing if I don't.  I'm just looking.  Smoked Gouda, where have you been all my life?  I have conversations with myself, hopefully not out loud about...don't buy it, keep moving, mmm, that'd be great on a sandwich.  I skip past the cheese this time.  Thank you to the God of Will Power.  I'm just here for cabbage and q-tips, I remind myself.   Got the q-tips, yes!!  So I round the corner and zip past the almost free eggs, the meals in 2 minute section and voila!  I made it to the cashier.  I toss in 4 bags of snack size pistachios and I'm on my way!!
