I shoulda known better

Many of you know Eric and are well aware of his passion for food. I especially loved this about him when we were dating because I had so much fun trying new types of food. Apparently, I harbored a very adventurous culinary side. I'll try anything once. Just ask those fried chicken feet or that boiled tripe!
Anyway, I'd spent the past 8 years (post-college) subsiding entirely on restaurant food and stuff that comes in cardboard boxes.


Anna's Pre-Eric eating plan:


I loathed the grocery store and would rather live off free packets of ketchup than make the monthly pilgrimage to my neighborhood Tom Thumb.
Then Eric came along...
Well, whatdya know? A passion for food equals a love for grocery shopping. I also learned that allowing a foodie into a grocery store unsupervised is dangerous. Like, really dangerous.



Therefore, over the past year and a half I've overcome my contempt for Tom Thumb, Sprouts, Albertson's, Fiesta and the Korean grocery store* and now accompany Husband on almost every grocery trip.
Now, after all that setup I get to the point of this post. Today I made a brave decision to stay home while he went on his Costco / Sprouts adventure. Beaming as he embarked on his path to freedom I yelled after him, "Hey, will you pick up some some crackers? I'm gonna make poppyseed chicken tomorrow night."
An hour later he came home with his loot. Among them, exhibit A:

So, does anyone have a good recipe or creative uses for Nutella or Ritz crackers?
Can you put Ritz crackers on ebay?
