Why do you even buy it?

I hate bok choi. ...@

I buy it to put it into stirfry. Because I keep forgetting how much I hate it.

Get stationery printed that says "I hate bok choy" at the top. That way, whenever you go to write your shopping list, you'll have a handy reminder. And it also makes a great conversation piece!

"Um... why does this paper say 'I hate bok choy'?"

"Because I do."

"...Oh."

Who the hell shops using a grocery list? At best I'll have to-do items in my phone but I usually don't even check that.

I latched onto bok choy as an alternative to celery, which I generally find too bitter. These days I almost always get baby bok choy instead of the full-grown kind because that's what the local Chinese grocery sells, among a bunch of other Asian greens. I can't stand mong toi, which I've seen called Chinese spinach, but to me is more like okra, except with leaves instead of pods. I don't seem to have any trouble not buying it, though.
