capers

instance of [german word] feeling when you're at the grocery store and you can't remember if you have an ingredient that you need for a few nights of the dinners that you are buying other ingredients to make this week and you think you do have it (you didn't check before leaving in this particular case because you didn't think of wanting this particular dinner until you were at trader joe's, though even when you do know in advance what you're making and have looked at the ingredient list of a recipe and maybe even gone into the kitchen and checked other goods (you know this week you do not need to buy any milk, you have enough milk already), you will often somehow not check everything you need), and so anyway you think you have it but you might be wrong and often in this case you will just buy another of the thing, since it's more annoying not to have it at all than to have too much of it and (the small size of your pantry aside) with dry goods especially it doesn't really matter (gratitude of not having to think as hard about prices of things at the grocery store as you used to), but also inside you really do think you have it already and you reach the point of having stood in the aisle at trader joe's too long processing this decision and feel you have to commit and restore the flow of time and you decide to take a risk and not to buy extra (knowing that if you're wrong, you will be forced to leave the house later in the week to procure some, when ideally you would not leave the house at all during the upcoming week) and you get home and are putting away the groceries and there is a nearly full jar of capers in the door of the fridge hell yeah.
