Something to be planned and carefully executed; like a raid on an enemy stronghold.
‘Get in and get out’ with as few casualties as possible.
For women, it is more like the harvesting of tomatoes; carefully walking down the rows carefully inspecting each one for the perfect ripeness.
And the harvesting takes as long as it takes because you want just the right tomatoes for your sauce.
Its because we want the best & we want to please!
“For most men shopping is a necessary evil. “
indeed. I don’t “shop”, but I DO buy stuff, mostly online though, except for hardware and groceries at brick and mortar stores. for the latter, i have lists for what i need, so i don’t exactly consider that “shopping”: i consider it buying.
I’m picky about the quality of the food i buy, so specific kinds of things are bought at specific stores, so buying trips are clustered with many purchases and errands run in serial fashion to save time, money and aggregation.
i suppose if i didn’t enjoy cooking so much, particularly the creativity of creating my own dishes and recipes using my own techniques, i’d give the blue apron types of deals a try. maybe when i get too decrepit to want to cook, that’s what i’ll do.
