How We’re All Just Little Muskrats Trying to Spice Up Broccoli
Have you ever noticed how grocery shopping feels like an instinctual ritual? Yesterday, as I steered my cart through the produce aisle, I couldn’t help but muse: we humans are just like muskrats. Think about it. We gather. We sort. We carry things around in baskets. We pick up vegetables, load them into our carts, then carefully transfer them onto the checkout conveyor belt, only to load them right back into our cart—and then again into our vehicles. At home, the process continues. Sack to house. Sack to shelf. It’s a lot of repetition. Honestly, the only thing missing is a tail and a muddy burrow. Let’s be real—grocery shopping is monotonous. The scenery doesn’t change much. The aisles are the same. The soundtrack? Beep...beep...beep. And those veggies? The usual suspects. Broccoli. Cauliflower. Green beans. Onions. Bell peppers. Spinach. Kale. Tomatoes. Carrots. Mushrooms. Celery. Maybe an avocado or two if you're feeling spicy. They’re always there, faithfully lining the shelves like green (and orange, and red) soldiers. Yet despite this unchanging cast of characters, we humans still manage to keep things interesting. That’s where the fun happens—in the kitchen. You can roast broccoli until it’s crispy, or steam it until it’s soft. Puree it into soup. Sauté it with garlic. Drench it in dressing. Add a dash of paprika, a sprinkle of turmeric, or a big squeeze of lemon. Suddenly, it’s not just broccoli—it’s an experience. So yes, the grocery routine might be repetitive (okay, a lot). But just like our muskrat cousins, we’ve learned the joy of gathering, sorting, storing, and—most importantly—creating. Because in the end, it’s not about the veggies—it’s about what you make of them. 😊 Rhonda The Voice Behind The Blogger's Attic |
