“Hi, do you work here? I shattered some glass on aisle D23. I’m really sorry.” (Adjusting her earpiece) “Oh yeah, I heard them talking about that. It’s all taken care of.” “Um, yeah. I shattered even more glass on a different aisle.”
You guys are going to think that my life consists of nothing but shopping-with-toddlers horror stories. WELL YOU’RE RIGHT. When the kids dropped the first package of light bulbs, I was stressed to say the least. I was in the decorative-mirror aisle, looking at cluster mirrors that are way too fashionable for my house. (In retrospect, I suppose I should just be grateful the little animals didn’t get their hands on any mirrors.)
When the kids dropped the second package of light bulbs, I cried. You should have seen me. Probably you would have laughed, but only if you were out of sight, because if you had laughed at me for real in that moment I would have ACTUALLY judo-chopped you. I kept blubbering to other Target shoppers not to step on the glass. They kept a wide radius, whether from my broken-glass warning or the rabid gleam in my eye, I’m not sure. After that I headed straight for the Easter candy section. I bought 6 bags of Sweet Tart Jelly Beans and an entire package of Reese’s Eggs. They were almost gone by the time we got home. Why no, I’m not an emotional-eater, are you? Guys, I’m totally obsessed with lentils lately.
I keep adding them to things that should not have lentils in them. Sometimes it turns out pretty bad…but sometimes I find a gem. Like these Greek Lentil Tacos.
Have you guys had regular lentil tacos? Just replace ground beef with cooked lentils, basically. Budget Bytes and A Couple Cooks both have great recipes. This is my Mediterranean-ish version. The lentils are cooked in oregano and garlic, and topped with cucumber pico de gallo. I like the coolness that the cucumbers add to the pico. A simple dill-yogurt sauce rounds out the spice. Forgive me for not Greekify-ing these more by putting them in pitas; I just happen to prefer a thinner wrapper. I’m sure pitas would be great too. A very satisfying meatless meal. Do you guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more? Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | Twitter
Here’s how I like to cut my tomatoes for pico de gallo. I slice them one way not quite to the bottom, then the other way, then turn and chop.
I did the same thing for the cucumbers.
