Poised and ready

Isn’t it amazing that fruit is picked and processed in a flash with zero effort on our part. And is kept just for us in the frozen food aisle, poised and ready for action? I usually buy blueberries and have them waiting in the wings for muffins and waffle topping.  It’s become a family tradition. I suppose it’s that tradition that led me astray. I knew blueberries would be on the menu and somehow, knowing and assuming became one. As I stood staring into the freezer at Save On, adding strawberries seemed a lovely extra.  Sliced of course.  But there had been a run on sliced strawberries and the shelf was empty.  Down, down I glanced and there, to the rescue was a giant bag, several bags worth but I bought it anyway.  When you have decided on sliced strawberries, nothing else will do but sliced strawberries.  

At home I opened the freezer and stared in amazement.  Nary a blueberry to be seen. But there were three bags of sliced strawberries.
