I moved into the new apartment last
month and decided to invite a few friends over
for
a house-warming party. I didn't
want to
spend the day cooking, so I decided
to
have a barbeque. The food would
be
easy to prepare and I could cook it when my
friends
got here. But first, I had to go get a few
things at
the supermarket.
I
got to
the store and got a cart. I started
out in
the meat department. It
wouldn't be
a barbeque without
hamburgers so
I bought some ground beef. I also picked up
some chicken breasts and hot
dogs. I skipped the seafood
counter since I didn't want to bother
with
fish.
Then, I was off to the
produce department. I got some
corn on the cob and a lot of
vegetables
for grilling for my friends who are
vegetarians. Then, I was off to the
bakery section. I needed
buns
for the hamburgers and hot dogs, and I also
bought
some cookies for dessert.
Then, I was almost done. I went down
each
aisle looking for the condiments--
the ketchup, mustard, and
mayonnaise.
And, just before wrapping things up, I went to
the
liquor department and got some beer, wine,
and
soda. Nearly everyone I invited asked if they
could
bring something for the party and but I told
them
no. I would have plenty of food and drink.
That was it. I stood in line at
the
check-out stand, staring at the magazine
rack full of tabloids, until the
cashier rang me up. The shopping
went off without a hitch. Now, all I
have
to do is clean my messy apartment.
That's the
hard part.
