Shopping Time

Today my mother in law and I drove 100km to get to our nearest major supermarket (we have a small one in our home town, but it just doesn't have much variety). Considering the size of the bigger one, I figured it would have a great range of veggie friendly foods and perhaps even some tofu, seitan or tempeh which I've never had but want to try.

I was very surprised to find they didn't have any! But, I was able to stock up on some bits and pieces that my little supermarket doesn't have - organic chickpeas, lentils, beans, pasta, cheaper nuts and dried fruit, flaxseed oil, and organic green tea.

I haven't had meat since... well, I'm not sure but it was sometime in the last fortnight! Now I'm trying to kick caffeine. I haven't had diet coke in about a week, but I had an iced coffee the other day. Next will be sugar - that will be a harder one to kick and I won't ever kick it completely, but I will cut down a lot.

On tonight's menu is cheese & tomato pizza - small pita bread with tomato paste spread on top, and grated cheese, cooked for about 10 minutes or until cheese has melted. Yum!
