I might be slightly addicted to this ice cream! So Delicious ice cream is one of the few sweet treats that I allow myself since starting on our paleo foods. After locating it at Meijer our local grocery store, I was excited to have a bowl of it.
Last night was the perfect night to have my treat, so into the freezer I went. There I found ice cubes, chicken, blueberries, opened bags of peas and green beans but NO ice cream!
- Immediately, I went into the blame game! "Did Kevin eat all of it?"
- Then, I started self doubting, "Did I even buy it?"
- Lastly, I reviewed the day I bought the ice cream trying to recall where the ice cream could have ended up. I remembered bringing the groceries into the house where most found their regular resting places within the refrigerator or in the pantry. I bought vegetables, fruit, canned tomatoes, ice cream, chicken and sweet potato chips.
Nowhere did I remember putting the ice cream. Saddened, I made a cup of tea and walked out of the kitchen, slightly sulking!
In the morning I began to rethink the ice cream dilemma, "maybe it fell out of the bag and is in the back of the car" I thought as I walked into the kitchen to pour a cup of coffee. It is still pretty cold in Michigan, I had convinced myself that even if the ice cream was in the car it would be cold enough and OK to consume. Before I left for work I checked the car, No Ice cream.
On the way home from work (five days after I had bought the ice cream) out of nowhere, the answer to the missing ice cream flooded my brain. The canned tomatoes! I said it out loud!
The four cans of tomatoes were in a plastic grocery bag sitting on the shelf in the pantry. I had not looked in the bag before because I did not think it was possible for the ice cream to be with the canned goods. Like a dog hunting down it's bone I walked into the house, straight to the pantry, opened the bag, and there it was! Unfortunately, I had to throw it out.
What did I learn?
Don't keep groceries in their plastic bags,and Ice cream belongs in the freezer!
I also learned that my first instinct when something goes wrong is to blame others! Ouch that one hurt! Quickly I am reminded that I must examine the log in my own eyes, before I blame others.
Second I learned that God will give me the answers, sometimes I may have to wait for them, but the answers will come.
