croutons

so i FINALLY went to the grocery store today, where i purchased a box of croutons. i figured that if i didn't open them, they would last for forever and i could just leave them in the cupboard with the salad dressing i also bought until i purchased some lettuce and made a salad. except that i forgot that croutons are an essential part of many non-salad meals. for example, you can't have today's lunch--croutons and cottage cheese--without croutons. or another of my favorite meals--croutons and chunks of cheese. or, one of the greatest classic laura meals of all times--box of croutons.

the croutons are becoming even more central to this lunch b/c for the second time in my life i made the mistake of buying the non-salted cottage cheese. ugh! awful!
