You can't cook it if you don't know what it is.

Ahhhh, the Grocery Store. That place full of food and stuff. The place we've been to thousands of times in our lives, but never really get to know.

The Hot Pockets? Over there!
Lunch meat? Got it covered.
Ground Beef? I know right where that is.

Kale? Ummm, huh? Mango nectar?! What on earth to do with that?!
Why would anyone need to buy a WHOLE BAG of flour? Why is some butter salted and some unsalted?

Have you ever really just looked around? Taken your time and browsed the grocery store like you're window shopping in a fine department store?

My challenge to you: Go to the store... alone. No kids. Find a way to swing it, even if it's 11pm at night. Look around slowly. Browse. Find something you've never eaten before and buy it.

Google is your friend, so find a recipe... any recipe... with that ingredient and make it. It could be something as easy as tofu or as unusual as smoked turkey legs. Think outside the box a bit and stop cooking the same old, same old!!!

Next.... I'll probably post some recipes to get you started since we all know you probably won't do any of ^that^ ;P
