Extra steps

I stopped by the store tonight to get my weekly groceries. I always carry my own bag with me, usually tucked under my arm. Tonight I got to the self-check line (which I used to hate, but I hate how pokey the cashiers are at this store even more ... and on the off chance I've forgotten my bag they will find a way to put three items purchased into three separate bags and this drives me to madness) and realized somewhere in the expanses of this store, I'd dropped my bag. I could have shrugged and stuffed everything into copious numbers of plastic bags, but I'm stubborn and retraced my footsteps.

Found the bag by the eggs. Tada! And I'm counting it as mild exercise. The store is huge and I still don't know where half the stuff on my list ever is, so I do a lot of wandering and backtracking anyway.

Also, I've got it in my head to try to make cauliflower tots. It occurred to me as I cracked into the head of cauliflower and had no idea how to handle the stupid thing that I have never once in my four decades on this planet purchased cauliflower that wasn't in a pre-cut vegetable tray until now! I'm not a huge fan of it, generally sticking with a wide variety of other vegetables that taste ... more.

I hope the tots turn out and that they're freezable, because this is going to make a lot.
