[F460]Food For Thought Catering
by Knight Pierce Hirst, Kni
Suddenly I looked at my cart differently. Captain Crunch Cereal - no, Matey, that's not for me. Double-stuffed Oreos - I wouldn't eat anything called double-stuffed. Just the word stuffed is an uncomfortable reminder of how I feel for several hours every Thanksgiving. Beer - no, my kind of bud goes in a vase; and I haven't needed a vase in a very, very long time - but I digress.

I wanted to find the passer-by and tell him that it wasn't me who ate a lot. It was my family. Yes, the very same family who was at home doing their own thing. Why was grocery shopping meant to be my own thing? It's as much fun as cleaning Venetian blinds.

Right then and there I made a new rule - or maybe it was a very belated New Year's resolution. "If you eat it, you shop for it". From that day on grocery shopping was a family activity. A family that shops together, gets it done faster and thus doesn't have to stay together as long.

My family, needless to say, was reluctant at first; but suggesting a week of liver, eggplant and corn mush dinners was all the encouragement they needed to volunteer to be my supermarket soldiers.

When we went to the supermarket, there was a plan of attack. Each of us went in a different direction - baked goods, canned goods, dairy and miscellaneous. Then we each got our personal items. Finally we met in produce. Why produce? Because you can't trust sons who think vegetables are their enemy to pick out vegetables. It's like asking them to pick their poison.

After produce had been procured, I checked the cart to make sure everything in it was on the list. No grocery carte blanche was allowed.

Finally we re-grouped at the check-out line, where I had time to pretend I wasn't reading the National Enquirer, my sons squabbled about whose turn it was to get the toy in the Captain Crunch and my husband grumbled about making window washing a family activity.

Unfortunately, it seems a family that grocery shops together gets fed up together. Fortunately, however, I can live with that.

Canister vacuums are great for cleaning floors and carpets. Most canister vacuums are pretty light so they're usually good for cleaning on stairs as well. All canister vacuums are very easy to move around the house and you don't have to worry about the vacuum tipping over while you're cleaning. However, canister vacuums differ in their cost, their weight, and their power (suction). Let's take a look at a few models.

When you consider price and performance The Hoover WindTunnel is one of the best canister vacuums on the market. This vacuum isn't the most powerful or the cheapest vacuum but for the money, it works very well. A few of the best features of The Hoover WindTunnel are it's bagless design, the HEPA filter, and the telescoping wand that will allow you to reach hard to get to places in your home.

Another great canister vacuum is the Miele Plus Compact Canister. This vacuum is lighter then most canister vacuums and it filters allergens very well. So, if you have allergies and/or you need to clean stairs, this may be the perfect vacuum for you. It doesn't come with a floor brushroll so this vacuum is best for just cleaning bare floors. However, you can purchase a floor brushroll extra. Also, this vacuum is a little expensive but most owners of it think the cost is well worth it.

A couple other good canister vacuums that are inexpensive are the Eureka Mighty Mite (perfect for small living areas) and Panasonic MC-4620 (cheap but pretty effective).

There are many different types of canister vacuums that you can buy. The vacuums are separated by their weight, their suction, and their cost. You should consider all these factors when looking to buy a canister vacuum. Some canister vacuums you may want to consider are The Hoover WindTunnel, the Miele Plus Compact Canister, the Eureka Mighty Mite, and the Panasonic MC-4620.
