Rick could gauge Alex's moods by the items on their grocery list.
Onions meant he was comfortable, secure in their relationship, happy to make food that left him with smelly breath and the possibility of farts.
Brie meant he was feeling uncertain and needing to feel a little more grown up and sophisticated.
Lemons meant Alex was nostalgic and would probably want to watch John Hughes movies.
Blueberries meant he was guilty, sorry for hurting Rick's feelings and planning on making him blueberry pancakes and breakfast for dinner to apologize.
Fettuccine meant Alex was determined, about to embark on a big project (either personal or professional) and wanted to fuel up and access his don't-take-no-for-an-answer Italian mobster side.
Snap peas meant he was nervous about something and wanting the fidgety process of zipping away the fibers from the sides of the beans, snapping open the shell, popping out the peas, and crunching the cool crispness.
Lite sour cream meant he was feeling athletic and would soon drag Rick on another 5k.
Root beer meant Alex was celebrating something, that he'd be exuberant and effusive and even more affectionate than usual.
Sweet potatoes didn't mean anything. Alex and Rick just liked eating homemade sweet potato fries.
