You know you need to go grocery shopping when ..

1) It is the fifth night in a row you have suggested the kids have hot dogs for dinner and yes, why not try them wihout the bun?

2) You think - Who said ice cream cannot be a meal?

3) You go on google for recipes that can put tortillas, cookie dough and one chicken breast (since they are the only things left in the freezer) together in a deliciously inventive new way.

4) You find yourself looking at the wilted half heart of romaine in the fridge and thinking with enough dressing that might be tasty.

5) The kids are eagerly waiting for you when you come home from work flapping the take out menu flyers in the air with a huge smiles on their faces wondering: what will we order tonight?

6) You start going through the cans in the pantry (you all know this is a true sign of desperation since most of us hold those cans FOREVER). All of those gourmet curried beans, gourmet garlic and sun dried tomate cous cous, jalapeno jam and other obscure other inhabitants of the pantry that you thought would make the perfect sophisticated meal until you got them home and realized nope, they won't really.

7) When the 11 year old suggessts that you walk down to Tim Horton's and have doughnuts for dinner you immediate response is: SURE, why not?
