    Somehow I don't think anyone will be too enamored with say, LiLo's (..or is it BiLo now? I can't keep up) shopping lists when she finally drops from an overdose.


    1. Cancer in a box [check]
    2. 58 cases of Red Bull [check]
    3. 116 cases of Grey Goose Vodka [check]
    4. An 8ball [aaand check]

    It says so much about our current diet obessesed culture that the idea that a sex symbol actress ate a variety of foods is shocking.

    Wow, I thought I was the only one who loved baby food. Gerber's banana baby food is my #1 favorite comfort food but I can never buy it because I am barraged at the counter with questions (silent and voiced) and the "You don't look old enough to have kids" shtick. Plus who just buys one little thing of baby food? I always feel like a freak! Even after I get it home. Oh the shame.


    Now every time I pass the baby isle I think about different excuses I can use. "I use it in recipes, I swear."

    @diamonds4guns: I took it to school a couple of times (middle school) and while I expected the weird looks and comments, my friends turned out to be jealous, lol.


    And what recipe would require baby food?

    Ever since I was a cashier at Hell Mart, I am self-conscious about my groceries. When I did that job, I was so soul-crushingly bored that I would amuse myself by making up people's life stories based on their grocery selections. I know they do that.


    And those condoms and gum and six New Testaments aren't fooling anyone.

    Am I a horrible person in that it doesn't really surprise me that a celebrity is having her grocery list post-humously examined? Today I learned that Britney Spears' kid burped and that Russell Brand can operate text messages. The mundane is glorified if it's from a celebrity.


    We didn't have a single mention of the consistency of Angelina Jolie's cervical mucus today, which I suppose is for the best.

    Tostitos, oatmeal, 2 boxes hot chocolate (buy one get one!), detergent and cheese.

    My weekly grocery list from a year ago: Vodka, diet Sprite, ramen noodles, eggs, coffee.


    My grocery list last week: Coffee, eggs, tortillas, bacon, oreo cookies, Coke Zero.


    I wonder what nutrition experts of the future will make of my diet, of the "treats" I allowed myself, and how I started eating food when I quit drinking. Maybe they'll just think I was entertaining. Ahem. Such as.

    If I become a famous icon and then die and people look over my receipts, they'd find that I eat a lot of Gushers, string cheese, orange pineapple juice, Edy's All Fruit coconut frozen treats, Spaghetti Oh's, Chipotle, and California Fruits Starbursts. No one should follow my nutritional advice.

    I'm so impressed with her list! Good, healthy, wholesome foods. No wonder people who knew her in real life say she literally glowed from within. It was all those fruits & veggies, complex carbs, and lean proteins. Who knew?

    Is it a new thing that media has no idea how normal people live?


    "Recession secrets: go to a restaurant for less than $100!"


    "Totally Sinful Treats! English muffins!"


    I've been having a lot of let-them-eat-cake moments lately. Do they really not know what normal people eat/spend?


    Also, Marilyns' receipt just shows that she eats like my grandmother.

    @sumerfish: To be fair, the recent (mocked here, I believe) Bon Appetit had a feature on feeding your family of 4 for a week with delicious food for $100. (They did it by assuming you'd have staples like flour and dried herbs which you probably do if you cook.)

    @PixiePerson: The lack of assumption of staples always bothers me when I read articles like that that include them in the price of the meal. I end up thinking things like, what kind of fool has a kitchen without eggs and flour in it? And then someone I know is like, "I never have eggs."

    This also reminds me of this children's book called the "Motel of the Mysteries" where basically in teh future someone unearths a modern day motel and the archaeologists make assumptions about the people based on the motel. Like, we worshipped boxes b/c everything faces the TV, etc. It lead me to forever question assumptions made based on interpreting things, like grocery lists.
