A few weeks ago at my local Food Lion, I was picking up meat of some sort in the meat department when I hear “Bless Your Heart”.  Now this could be construed as an insult, or a compliment.  Depending on how the person blessing your heart is using it.

I turned to the ancient, little lady behind me and she said “I will forever think of you every time I grocery shop.  Thank you so, so much!!  It has never occurred to me to try that but I will from now on!”  Ahh, a compliment then.  She was watching me as I picked up the  meat out of the cooler.

It never EVER fails.  If you pick up any of the meat packages at the grocery store, you are going to get meat juices on your hands.  Or at least this is the case with my life.  Every.single.time.

An easy way to prevent it:

When you pull off one of those thin plastic bags, slide it over your hand……

Use your covered hand to pick up the meat…..

With your other hand, slide the plastic up and over the meat.  You’ll never have to touch the actual meat container while you are in the store.  You are very welcome!

P.S.  Don’t mind my lovely manicure.  I test colors on my thumbnails to see which one I want to use on my toes, hahaha.

P.S.S.  Also, do not be alarmed because there is a hair on this package of chicken wings.  It’s mine.  I know it’s mine, because Denton bemoans the fact that my hair is everywhere.  All the time.  It’s a wonder I’m not bald, but as he says, I have enough hair for at least seven people.  Which is why I’m not bald and why I don’t cook with my hair down.  You’re welcome again.
