Tonight the Boy and I are having a 'gratitude Saturday evening' on account a little close call we had here today.
The Boy and I went on our usual Saturday afternoon shopping expedition (oh yes, you had better believe there's no off position on the weekend excitement switch around here. No sireee!)
We make a kind of list, then don't really refer to it once we enter the supermarket, and I like to go up every aisle anyway - just to see if there's anything new.
Today the Boy spotted an exciting new product - Nachos to Go.
Him: "Hey look, Nachos to Go. That sounds cool. Can we get some?"
(He always asked if its ok before he adds anything to the trolley - even when he's paying!),
Me: "Sure, if you want?"
Him: "Well ok. Actually, no - nachos are pretty easy to make anyway, huh"
Me: "Ok. Maybe we'll get some next week."
Fast-forward to later this evening, the Boy is checking the latest on the ABC news website when he comes across this (as a headline!!)
Nachos health scare prompts interstate probe
"Hehe, hey, Kuka, how's this for a good headline!"
The news snippet continues:
"Health authorities in two states are investigating a life-threatening case of botulism that has left a 26-year-old man in intensive care after he ate a pre-packaged nachos meal."
-You guessed it, Nachos to go!!
thank goodness we'd already decided on the prepackaged steamed pork buns to theme dinner around!

Whoa close call indeed. and yeah that product seems to fall in the same category as that quicker cooking pasta or instant tea - really unnecessary!
