I hate grocery shopping. To me, grocery shopping is pure torture. Not only are the prices out-freakin’-rageous these days but I also have to painstakingly read every ingredient on each item to see whether or not Big Boy Picasso (the 4 yr. old) is allergic to it. Did I mention that 99% of the time I have to put back the item that I pick up? Dealing with food allergies on a daily basis is not easy. Sure, there are worse things. Things could be way worse. I know that. However, if you walked one day in my shoes then you’d get it. You’d understand the frustration. Just try to buy cheese that doesn’t actually have cheese or soy or corn in it then come back here and tell me how well that went. You’d quickly start to hate grocery shopping just as much as I do now.

What’s weird though is that I have begun to really like cooking. I’ve been baking bread, making allergy-free cakes, and coming up with new recipes. If only I had more free time in my day then maybe those recipes would be tastier.

I guess you take the good with the bad right?
