I've Been Lied To

Let me start by saying that I got a new cook book in the mail. It's a cooking text book full of wonderful techniques, recipes, and history. This book led me down the rabbit hole. I was flipping through it this week trying to decide where to start reading when I found a recipe for ranch dressing. Being my favorite I decided I had to make it. This is where the trouble started.

I was at the grocery store yesterday and remembered I needed Worcestershire sauce for the recipe. I started checking the labels only to find that every single brand at Meijer's had high fructose corn syrup. I was shocked. I mean, I know it's hiding around every corner, but I never guessed here. It's not in the soy sauce I'm using. I even checked all of the bottles a second time to make sure I wasn't misreading them (silly, I know).

I headed over to Naturally Yours next. I figured I was saved! No luck, but the friendly staff told me they could order it if I could find one. Now the hunt is on.

Anyone know of a Worcestershire sauce without high fructose corn syrup?

Roller Coasters & Shopping, Oh My?!

My first impression of this is, 'Wow, what a cool way to shop!". Alas, the novelty wears off before the video is even over. What if you only need to run into the store for some Diet Coke, which you should always have on hand. Or what it it takes you longer to decide what brand or size of dried noodles to buy then the coaster allows? Does this ride have a brake? These decisions are important, I can't be made to decide in a split second while moving! I would end up riding the coaster round the store 8 times for 6 items because even when I bring an organized list I forgot to actually pick up the item and put it in my cart.

I think I'll stick to tradition and use my feet to get around the grocery store. My trips these days tend to keep me mostly out of the aisles and around the edges of the store anyway.
