Aldi is legendary when it comes to great prices on groceries, but the store is also known for something else: the cart system. If you have ever been to an Aldi, you are aware that this German supermarket chain follows the European system when it comes to their carts. There is a lock attached to the handlebar of each cart, and you need to insert a quarter into the slot to release the lock. Once you are done with your shopping, simply return the cart to the corral at the front of the store, insert the chain from the cart in front of yours, and the quarter is released back to you. The system keeps the parking lot tidy and is one of the many ways the store keeps costs down, as they don’t have to hire extra staff to collect grocery carts.

Let's talk about Cheers and the resilience of one of its actors. No, it's not Ted Danson. Usually, I make more of an effort to bury the lede in articles like this for suspense's sake. However, I'll cut right to it. We're talking about an actor who was so good in Cheers that they gave his character his own successful spin-off show: Kelsey Grammer!

As an Indian-vegetarian, I have fond memories of Indo-Chinese gobi manchurian at community potlucks, rare plates of aloo gobi (when my South Indian Mother would serve North Indian food), and snacking on raw florets dipped in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with my dad. Since then, I’ve given up cauliflower. Not because I wanted to. You see, I have a chronic GI illness and the unsuspecting cruciferous vegetable has a rather rude ability to land me in the hospital.
