Yogurt is already spoiled. That’s what makes it yogurt.![]()
I know the answer to this one! You put your hand inside the butcher dept plastic bag that you’re going to use to keep the steak package from leaking all over your groceries, and use that to shield your hand germs while you paw through the packages. This is how I pick out my produce.
Yogurt can get moldy, but it takes awhile.
If it’s a lot too big, you can just cut it in half, and freeze to rest to cook later as another small steak, of course. I don’t think there’s anything unresponsible about that.
I, too, look for steaks that are a convenient size, but usually the steaks of a given type aren’t all that different, in my experience. In better days, I, too, have pawed through all the steaks to pick the one that looked best, though.
Even if the store DID arrange them neatly I can guarantee within a half an hour chaos would reign simply because everything gets picked over, especially these days.
With respect to asparagus boy, selecting a proper asparagus spear is not a random event.
Look for slender, pencil size spears, no cigars. Observe the tops. Tight and green.
Maybe the asparagus boy was “milking it”, or maybe the OP was impatient?
I will wait for the video to decide.
Get a large steak and freeze half of it.
And yogurt is still good, WAY past the exp date.
When Asparagus Boy meets Avocado Guy, they annihilate each other.
I always strive to be a Good Do Bee. I’m a good Do Bee Dad, a good Do Bee Dude and a good Do Bee Doper.
I’m also a good Do Bee Shopper. As a good Do Bee Shopper, I’m always courteous to grocery store clerks and fellow shoppers.
Don’t Bee’s don’t keep social distance. Don’t Bee’s don’t wear masks. Don’t Bee’s don’t keep their dirty mitts off the fresh produce. Don’t Bee’s are dicks.
Being a good Do Bee isn’t easy. Why, just yesterday at the grocery store, after scanning the produce bin for an attractive avocado with which to make fresh guacamole to go in my vegan (yes, we’re Animal Do Bee’s…well, my kids are. I’m an unrepentant obligate carnivore like our cats) faux pork carnitas for Tuesday Tex-Mex Fiesta Nite. I grabbed a good one and placed it in my cart.
…but, then I saw a *more *attractive avocado, bigger; riper and less blemished than the one in my cart. I wanted that avocado. I wanted it bad. I stared at it longingly. I may have even drooled a little bit. But, did I return my tainted avocado back to the bin and snatch the prized Aphrodite Avocado?
No, I did not. Why? Because I’m a good Do Bee Shopper.
I’m a good Do Bee for purely altruistic reasons. And, it makes me feel superior to all the dregs of society (which is almost everyone else).
Of course, being a perpetually good Do Bee is exhausting, so at the end of the day, I relax by stoking up a good doobie.
…hookers and blow help, too.
Or is related to broccoli floret lady, who was stealthily tearing florets off the cheaper whole broccoli under the guise of careful examination of same.
Hijack:
Tight and green tips, yes. But asparagus is an exception to the rule that thin produce is more tender. For beans, say, thick pods may mean the beans are older and getting tough (though the right size depends on type of beans.) Asparagus comes out of the ground the full diameter that it’s going to be, and just goes up from there; eventually the tips branch out, at which point it’ll be tough. But fatter spears are from more vigorous plants, and are actually more likely to be tender than skinny spears.
Huh? Was she then shoplifting the florets? How’d the clerk weigh a bunch of loose florets and not notice?
