"shopping list" news and stories

The last time we checked in on GroceryLists.org, there were about 800 lists, but today they're up to more than 1,100. Though they're still working on getting a list from every state in the country, the site is sort of like Post Secret for non-creative types. In fact, like Post Secret,  they're working on a book that will present all that they've learned from reading other people's lists. For example, you can take a look at what you need to throw a great party (hint: "'boys please' in puffy, iron-on letters" is critical) and learn that some people need far more help than they can get at the grocery store.

Judging from the way the collection at GroceryLists.org is growing, it seems that a lot of people must keep lists. I know that I do. Of course, I never see anyone at the market walking around with a list besides me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... Do you keep a grocery list, or do you just walk into the store and hope for the best?

Somebody triple dog dared me. Do you know what that means? I'm going to Trader Joe's in a few to get the ingredients I don't already have for the pizza crepe taco pancake chili bag. In case you're following along at home (and I truly hope you're not cooking this along with me):

• Crisp taco shell (check)
• Soft flour tortilla (check)
• Corn tortilla, bigger than the flour tortilla
• Gordita shell
• Pizza dough
• Ingredients for crepes (flour, egg, milk, butter, brandy)
• Ingredients for pancakes (same deal, plus buttermilk, baking powder and blueberries)
