Jami is Almost Out of Bread

Tomorrow I will be stopping by the grocery store at some point in my errands. I do this because we are almost out of bread. It's not just a fluke, we are somehow, perpetually almost out of bread. We have two states of being here at our house Almost Out of Bread and Out of Bread. That's it. I buy bread. I bring it home and put it in the bread cabinet. Then I walk out of the kitchen and the Bread Gnomes tiptoe in and eat all our bread. There can be no other explanation. Okay, sure, Eddie eats an estimated 14 sandwiches a day (either grilled cheese or PBJ and occasionally steak-um) but still. I am convinced that if the Wonder Bread truck backed itself up to the kitchen door and dumped the entire load into my kitchen to the point where you couldn't get past the fridge because of all the bread, the next morning when I came downstairs for breakfast, we would be Almost Out of Bread. There would be a one folded-over plastic bag, twist tie lost, with the 2 end crusts and a single, lonely non-crust piece left. So, I'll see you tomorrow, at Giant Eagle. I'll be in the bread aisle.

    Same way here with milk. I have a standing order to buy a gallon in every store I enter...because we'll just need it.

    I buy bread on sale and freeze it! That's how I keep us in bread. :-) Milk, I buy in bulk at Costco. But I run out of weird stuff, like cleaning supplies or face wash frequently and forget to buy it. Fed, but dirty.

    I have an almost supernatural fear of running out of cheese.

    @Patrick - that was true here when I was pregnant and drinking about a 1/2 gallon of milk a day, no lie.

    @Liz -call me a bread snob, but I don't like how bread tastes when it's been frozen.

    @Jim - Out of cheese?!?!? I shudder to think. Now THAT we have pounds and pounds of in the chest freezer. No lie.
