Lee-Roy, I thought you were going to say the elusive question that humans have sought to answer since the dawn of time that Teka stumbled on was “What will you put between the buns?”

[...] Since Lee-Roy’s post about his shopping list doodle, I’ve become obsessed with seeing other people’s shopping lists. It’s certainly voyueristic; you get to see someone totally unguarded, since a shopping list is basically a private note of the inside of your brain at the very moment of listmaking made for your eyes only to jog your memory at the grocery store. But when its let out into the public, the entries get taken out of context, get put into the viewers context, and misunderstandings occur and glimpses far beyond the simple “what this person likes to eat” take place; at its most basic, seeing others’ shopping list is sort of an anthropological documentary and at its most insidious, its a look into the person’s soul.

Ah, yes, you have stumbled upon that elusive question which we humans have sought to answer since the dawn of modern civilization… Where’s the beef?

i read somewhere that you should hand leaf it (it being lettuce), because if you chop it, it will bruise, but i have never seen lettuce bruise or anything…interersting thing about the list, i saw charcoal, buns, lettuce, tomatoes, beer all the things to make a burger but no tofu or meat, very odd, what will you put between the buns, brownies, i don’t know…teex

The conversation continues! I actually am very torn when it comes to lettuce (ouch!). Whether to chop or hand leaf? No, fo’ realz, lettuce at most grocery stores is so bad… it’s either lifeless or like cardboard. I’ve found that butter lettuce is the most reliable; yet I’m still not completely satisfied.

you know, it’s like that bad message you leave on a girl’s machine - the one you wish you could go back and erase - i noticed the misspelling the moment pressed “submit”. so i apologize for the slip of my fingers jamie and lee-roy. i, however, won’t apologize for coming to conclusions as to why your home is butter lettuce dominant.

Wow, there is an actual dialogue happening in the comments of my blog!

johnnyhongkong, you should know that the majority of those items were dictated to me by Jamie (ahem, please note spelling), except “Limes (for beer)” and “? Buns?” because I don’t want none unless you got buns, hun.

jaime, it was impossible to make out the actual brands of brownie mix, but we approve of all things betty crocker and krusteaz. the disambiguation of the various kinds of lettuces kept in your home is maybe the most telling…

johnnyhongkong: The “Mint (fresh) ” is pretty classy, but I must admit the “Brownie Mix classic fudge by Betty Crocker or Krusteaz” sounds a little white trash. As for “? Buns?”–that is indeed up to your imagination:)

love the character peering nervously at the list, perhaps contemplating the “?” at the bottom. you know, you can tell a lot about a home from its shopping list, lee-roy…
