My sister in law Katie made the best Beer Bread when they had us over for dinner a while back. So, while I was grocery shopping on Saturday, I saw a mix for it...but was too embarrassed to buy it, along with the beer that goes in it. Well, Anton and I were at Target last night and I showed him the mix - he was all about buying it. I said I would buy it," but you have to buy the beer". Yeah right. As if Anton would pass up an opportunity to get me embarrassed. Apparently grocery stores don't carry individual cans of beer. So, it is off to Maverick. I threatened Anton I wasn't going to get out of the car if he was going to make me buy it. He gives in... "OK fine, I will buy it.". Yeah right. We get in there - and he starts wondering off. So, its up to me to buy the beer - mind you I am 7 months pregnant...there is no question I am expecting. Here is how it went:
I get up to the counter and place my one can of beer there. The lady looks at me kind of strange.
Lady: "Is this all?"
Me: "Yep!" (trying to be all friendly)
She then gives me the amount, and I pay her. She puts the beer in a sack.
Me: "Oh, I don't need the sack. Thanks though."
Lady: "Yes you do."
Me: "Oh no, really I don't. Thank you though." (I am thinking to myself 'geeze lady, just let me get out of here'.)
Lady: "Oh yes you do. Its against the law to carry the beer out without a sack".
Of course, all embarrassed, we try and explain ourselves that we have never done this before and we are making beer bread. Like she cared. She just stared at us. (I am laughing as I type this!)
Wonderful! I just made a big fool of myself! I am seven months pregnant, buying beer and I have no clue what I am doing. You can imagine how we laughed about that when we got in the car! But hey, the bread turned out good!

Hahaha! That is so funny, I am cracking up. "no thanks, I don't need a bag, I am just going to drink it in the car!"
Well there's a first for everything! Thanks for the funny post. LOL!
This post made me smile. It also made me wish I was eating bread with beer in it.
So funny! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at Maverick after you left...
I know! I have so many recipes that call for beer and I have never been brave enough to go buy it. My luck I would run into the stake president while I was doing it. Seriously, that always happens to me.
Cameron makes me do humiliating things like that too. Ma;ybe he and Anton should get together.
That ROCKS!! It was another predictable Anton moment that he would "wonder off" leaving you to buy it. Saw that one coming aeh! I bet it made the bread taste that much better though. A dash of salt, a tsp baking powder, a lot a humiliation. LOL funny!
Hysterical! If only to be a fly on the wall in that Maerick!
Just saw April's comment... two minds think alike.
That is funny. I laughed out loud. I love that Anton walked off. I wish the lady was a little more humorous when you explained. That is weird about the bag thing though. I see people walking home from a gas station with a 12 pack in had, NO BAG!
Anton is to dang funny, we miss you guys.
