So, shopping for me is always an adventure; actually, my life is an adventure. Anyhoo, when one is making a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie that calls for 1/4 cup of Bourbon, one must purchase such.
So, standing in Wally World, with no clue about what Bourbon really is, I decide to head to Hy-Vee instead and let their Spirits manager assist me. I know he thinks I am a dork when I explain to him that I am buying the two airplane sized bottles of Southern Comfort to obtain a 1/4 cup for my pie. He proceeds to tell me that the bottles I am holding in my hands are NOT good Bourbon and places within my hands, Jim Beam, which he tells me will make my pies scrumptious.
Off to the checkout lane in the main section of the store, where my young, male checker & bagger obviously do not believe that this purchase is for baking and not drinking, while handing the two bottles to me to put into my purse. Like I plan to sip it and drive with my 10 year old. The nerve. However, no matter how much explaining I did about them being purchased for my pies, they did not believe me. I am crushed. Not really, I find it amusing. Oh, and the Spirits Manager tells me he prefers his Bourbon over ice, no water. Eww! ;o)
