OOT: Pick my groceries.

[Xaston]

When I go grocery shopping I tend to get more or less the same things over and over again. However, I like to try new things, but doing so without any guidance can lead to a lot of wasted food/money/storage space.

So I come to you OOT, specifically the food connoisseurs, to pick out my groceries for this week. Please be as specific as possible.

I like to cook, and my roommate is a health-nut. It's rubbed off on me a little, so I try to eat pretty healthy. However, I am by no means against a delicious unhealthy snack or two.

We will be going to a big chain grocery store. I don't really care about price.

When I'm at the checkout counter and I hear the beep, I'll make sure to think of the fun I could have on Supermarket Sweep!

apple chicken sausage; surprisingly low in cholesterol

frozen margarita style pizza; add to it fresh toppings - very unhealthy

ribeye steak cooked in Hawaiian style dish

fish burgers, can buy frozen patty

brocolli + chicken + mazarella + macaroni that has big texture to it = good dish

raw fish + regular rice + seaweed = make quasi sushi

Scallions. They go great in a huge variety of dishes and are very quick and easy to prepare.

The same goes for mushrooms, although they're much more common. You can get a pack of presliced button mushrooms for about $1. They go great with tons of different things because they're flavor sponges. I really wish I could get good tofu here in Nashville for the same reason: it soaks up flavor and you can dictate your texture.

So if I was to combine my suggestions, I'd go with a caesar salad with mushrooms sauteed with scallions in garlic-infused olive oil and extra-firm tofu. If soy isn't your bag, skip the tofu for the more standard croutons.

I'm on a quinoa kick right now, so quinoa.

jello pudding and totinos frozen pizzas. Wash that down with some Dr. Pepper

Get beer. Microbrews preferred. Also, get some mixed greens...and some bleu cheese vinaigrette.

bacon, eggs, sausage, a box of those little powdered doughnuts, chocolate milk, pop tarts, a box of alka seltzer and one roll of TP. Have a hell of a morning.

Tabouli. Yum. I could really go for some right now.

Turkey breast chops (like pork chops but really good) w/ some cream of celery soup and stuffing on top.

Some really good hot chocolate or tea.

These are things I want very badly right now. So that is why I am suggesting them.
