High Octane

FDAS List February Flash Fic Challenge. This nagged at me until I did it. I like trying to see their lives outside the SGC. One of the things I've always liked about the show was the whole concept of these intrepid explorers who go off and save the universe, then stop off at Kroger on the way home to pick up milk and eggs. :-)

No produce was abused in the writing of this drabble no matter what the lentils may tell you.
They lie.

High Octane

Pasta, rice, lentils.
Tomato sauce, minced garlic, pesto.
Half and Half instead of whole milk.
2% instead of skim.
Butter instead of margarine.
Three different cheeses.
Two dozen eggs.
Sirloin, rib eyes instead of hamburger.
Daniel contemplated the produce section.
Apples, oranges, a few bananas.
Mixed greens, tomatoes.
Cucumbers, peppers, a nice big eggplant.

Time was when food wasn't an issue. He bought what he could, ate what he had and needed fairly little. Food was fuel and he'd never really asked his "engine" to work that hard. Just "off-road" for digs. "Off-road" had a whole new meaning these days.
