Exciting adventures in grocery Shopping

Yesterday I purchased groceries on-line.I feel very high-tech. One of the local stores bought the "Simon delivers" franchise and you can order groceries and have them delivered to your house! I know this isn't new, but I've never done it. The reason I tried it is that new customers can get $50 off a $150 order. $150 dollars worth of food for $100? I'm in! If you want to do this, go to CobornsDelivers.com and check it out. The order has to be over $150 (not as hard as you'd think), and delivered by April 8. Delivery charge of $5. Use the promo code STRIB50 at step 1 of checkout. I also got some free grapes by using some code shown to me when I ordered the grapes.

It is supposed to be delivered today between 5 and 9. The earlier the better, because I just realized that my dinner is on that truck! I could have planned that better. I am not sure I will be doing this very often, I thought the prices of the groceries were a little high, and it took a while to order, but I think I came out ahead.

Fargo update: I have heard from both Gene and Renee in Fargo and they made it through the flood OK. Renee's parents have a new pool in the basement but it could be worse. Best news: My brother Erik is leaving Iraq mid-April and coming home! YAY!

Here is the recipe I am waiting to cook until the Coborn's truck arrives. (It's Semi-homemade).
Oops, trucks here! We gave the delivery guy a $5 tip, although he says a gratuity is not necessary.

Ravioli Stroganoff (serves 4)

1 (25 oz) Pkg refrigerated cheese ravioli (I'm using a 32 oz pkg of frozen, it'll be fine)
2 tsp oil
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup of milk
3/4 cup sour cream (I bet low fat would work, too)

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add turkey and seasoning. Saute until turkey is brown, breaking up turkey into little pieces. Stir in soup and milk. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Cook ravioli according to package directions and toss in sauce to coat. This would be nice with a salad.
