Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

I have a question for those of you who have fully stopped using plastic grocery sacks: what do you use for garbage?
We buy the 13-gallon kitchen garbage bags, but it takes us a while to fill the garbage because we have recycling and composting pick-up here.
FYI, they haven't banned the sale of plastic bags, it's just that the bigger groceries stores can't give them out anymore. Given their tendency to use 8 plastic bags to pack what would fit in 2 paper bags, I think this is a good idea. For chain pharmacy and stores like that, the ban goes into effect in a couple of months. I think smaller stores will be exempt, at least for a while.

I so do not understand why they put like two things in each bag. It happens at Safeway when I bring my own bags, too -- I've got some bags that are shaped essentially like regular paper grocery bags, and at Safeway, they'll always fill them maybe 1/3 full before going for the plastic bags. (At Trader Joe's, on the other hand, they're really good at managing to get everything to fit in. Also, the Trader Joe's people tend to actually know how to pack a grocery bag -- heavy stuff, then fragile stuff, then squishy stuff. The Safeway people just throw stuff in however.)

I generally always bag myself, even when I don't bring my own. Except at TJ's where they are indeed great baggers.

Right? I always want to thank them and ask them if they can teach the Kroger baggers how to properly bag my damn produce.

Hmm. They generally bag pretty full here. The store I usually shop at usually does pretty well, but when I hate going to other stores and getting cans on top of bread and the like.

I was all good today and bought lots of fresh veggies at the grocery store so that I could have real food rather than processed crap. Then I ended up sleeping on and off all afternoon. Dinner, rather than my planned whole wheat pasta with tomatoes, asparagus, and beans, ended up being canned chickpeas with nutritional yeast. Which is reasonably healthy, I suppose, but not quite qualifying as cooking.

Anybody have any experience with Diet to Go [link] ? I'm thinking about doing it, at least until my doctor and I can get this sleeping-16-hours problem worked out. Because I want to cook, but lately I really can't.
