Ninja Girl goes to the supermarket
Cats: Uncategorized, slack woman|There was a time when grocery shopping was easy. Not so now.
These days, the supermarket is fraught with danger, risk and – gulp – long-term consequence: evil carbs, pesticides, antibiotics and trans fats. That is why yours truly sheds the humble, mild-mannered typist persona and transforms into Ninja Girl!
Ninja Girl is a crack martial artist engaged in grocery store guerrilla warfare. She uses special powers to identify and rub out these dangers.
The most dangerous part of her mission is – cue Gothic horror score – The Aisle of Doom where trans fats are crouching in processed products with long shelf life. It’s scary business, but Ninja Girl is trained in unorthodox shopping techniques.
When it’s all over Ninja Girl transforms back into the mild-mannered typist. But only until the next trip to the supermarket.

So true! One really does need an advanced degree in biochemistry, organic chemistry, microbiolgy and physiology to do the grocery shopping these days. Gone are the halcyon days of feeding the kidlets Kraft Dinner and weiners. Sigh.

Yes, but every super hero has a secret weakness (Achilles heel), Superman has kryptonite, Batman has whatever he’s really been doing with Robin, Spiderman has the whole angst thing. So what’s Ninja Girl’s is it double stuffed-oreos, really salty potato chips, cajun style sausage links?

BB, that’s so funny. In a nostalgic moment I bought baloney for my kids. They turned their noses up at it saying it was too full of fat! Kids!
Deepti, what’s wrong with you. you’re supposed to fear food!
Chance, ah yes the secret weaknesses of the mighty superhero – actually NG’s is in liquor store in the Bourbon section.
