(He'll literally buy more milk or eggs than he can hope to drink (there are six cartons of milks in the fridge right now) and then toss them the day before the sell-by date because "they go bad".)
We walked in the house when we came here, and there are bags of avocados. Guess they're cheaper in California than back home, right? Home, they're a dollar apiece - when they're in season, and if they're on sale. I think I'll buy a few bags to bring home with me when I leave, and I'm asking my mom to do the same. I love me some guacamole, but it's a treat, because avocados are just so expensive!
We've been telling the girls to eat the raspberries (three large boxes on Saturday, we finally used them up today) and the bananas (a big bunch, already browning) because they're going fast. As I keep saying, "They won't keep, honey!"
I use the word keep in that sense all the time. I think Ana thinks it's unusual, though - she only very tentatively used the word a few weeks ago. Actually, what she said is "Do granola bars... save, Connie? Do they save?" and I had to explain both that they do keep, and that the word she's looking for is keep, not save.
Evangeline chose raspberries for her morning snack, and then wanted more. Well, she'd finished them! (Thank goodness.) So I offered her some banana. "No, Connie! You said "You choose, berries or bananas. And I choose red berries! Not bananas!"
