When I first read this, I thought the obvious answer was to shop alone ...
then it sounded too much like secretive alcoholic behavior.

I'm almost afraid to raise this subject, but does anyone else get serious
flak from family (or friends) about the amount of pepper we eat?  My folks
long ago wrote me off as a nut case on the matter, but Mom still looks hurt
when I put dry pepper or a sauce on something she has cooked.  "Taste it
first!"  By now, the standard gag I use when she cooks something perfectly
is to say "Needs more red pepper."
