Free Food!

I know I have written about Harris Teeter’s online grocery shopping before and I still love this method of shopping.  But they did make a big mistake last night.  They gave me someone else’s groceries by mistake.  Since I just drove up to the drive through and they brought the groceries and loaded them into the car, I didn’t even look at the groceries at all.  Well I got almost home when I get a call from them asking if I got the right groceries because someone else had called and was apparently given my groceries.  At first they wanted me to bring them back to the store until I explained that I had 2 very tired and very fussy children in the car and it was past bedtime.  So since the food was perishable, I got to keep it and still got my regular groceries this morning!  Thank you to the random grocery shopper who ordered fresh salmon, 4 lbs of chicken, fresh pre made chicken kabobs, tons of fruits and veggies, fancy deli meats and cheeses, Greek yogurt, fresh mint (I can tell she had a good meal planned here!), milk, yogurt, and a lot of other goodies that I wouldn’t usually spend a bunch of money on!  Now I’m off to plan a meal with my surprise groceries!  I’m thinking lemon, mint and asparagus risotto (Jaime Oliver Recipe) and salmon with citrus yogurt cream sauce (epicurious recipe)!  YUM!  I really wish she would have ordered some steaks though ;)

I love this. I love that you are the one to get said groceries because you will actually know what to do with them. That is awesome.

WOW, that is GREAT! Will you bring it over to my house and work your chef magic in my kitchen please? I miss the good ol' days of dinner parties and trying all sorts of good food.
