Who knew that not finding ground turkey breast at the grocery store would lead to me breaking down in the middle of the store?
I was planning on making spaghetti for dinner and thought I would get the meat first, since ground turkey breast is very hard to come by. And no, ground turkey will not do. It has to be the breast. The texture of ground turkey is too similar to ground beef, which induces bile when I see it, smell it, and am forced to eat it out of politeness.
Of course they didn't have any turkey breast. Why should they have it for a 7 months pregnant woman who no longer sleeps more than 3 hours per night, is uncomfortable ALL day, who has a headache, who is sucking HUGE at her job and is miserable between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., who's foot and ankle are so swollen her co-worker shrieked and said he had never seen anything more hideous in his life when she put it up on his desk to show him just how enormous it was, and who wets her pants more than I bet that Duggar woman who's had 18 kids (and counting).
So we're having toast for dinner tonight.
Sorry to hear about the grocery store breakdown! For next time, maybe this will help--I've heard that most grocery stores with a butcher section will grind meat upon request, so you could just grab some turkey breast and ask the butcher to grind it up and re-package it. Of course, it might be way more turkey breast than you need at the time, but I guess there's always the option of putting the extra in the freezer if it helps avoid a meltdown?
ReplyDeleteIf you ever have another grocery store meltdown, call/text me! I am a pro (if i do say so myself) at the grocery store, i can find ANYTHING. the internal gps works great for those midnight adventures to the store, however why do i always end up getting lost on the way to Tara's? hmmm... I'll figure that one out soon enough...
