Hilarity will ensue tomorrow (I'm sure) when we discover I forgot the main course

O.K., so I had my list at the grocery store, but somehow after this ( ) I left this *one* item out, and then *this* happened:

I'd already done the groceries shopping of the "heavy"/non-perishable items, so only needed the fresh and perishables today, and picked the branch grocery store that would be the least trafficked. Well, it was only slightly less than packed, but just enough to have its own irritating edge: A bit of hysteria in the crowd, customers leaving carts in the middle of aisles while they fetch stuff, oblivious individual customers taking forever to decide on items with people (me) behind them waiting, even young family groups giddy with cheer (harrumph!1). I might add-on to this...

So, I just now realized ONE item is missing... Funny, right?!1
