Cooking and grocery shopping were not a normal routine for me when I was single. When I went for my groceries I headed straight for the frozen foods or deli. Once in a while I would get creative and cut up hot dogs in my mac n' cheese. If I saw a cute girl in the store, I thought it would impress her if I had a lot of vegetables in my cart (buggy as they say in the south, but that is for another post). Or I tried to impress the cute check out girl by buying expensive food that looked like I was cooking a gourmet meal, but buying Capt'n Crunch and Fruity Pebbles always ruins that image.
Now that I am married, I never go grocery shopping. Not because I don't want to help out. It is a game for my wife to go with her stack of coupons and see how much free stuff she can get. I guess she feels like she is "sticking it to the man " or something. It is nice to come home and have the refrigerator full, it's like a magic box with never ending food. Plus, in the 2 years that I have been married I haven't had one frozen microwave meal. Which is good because between the food that was in them and the emissions from the microwave, I think it was changing my body chemistry in a weird way.
