When you go grocery shopping, you can A) create a list of dinner ideas and the ingredients that you need to pick up, group them in the order that they appear in the store, and head straight to the aisles to get the items. Or B) go in with the list in mind, but wander through the whole store and you may find something else interesting to pick up. Or C) not have any but the most vague dinner ideas, go without a list, and create a week's worth of dinners as you browse picking up interesting items and figuring out what to do with them. All depends on if you want the most efficient approach, or if you want serendipity to strike.
