Despite the fact that i haven't received my painkillers yet and that today my quality of life is quite pathetic:D, i couldn't stay at home, because if my mom goes to the grocer on her own, she buys only what she wants. So today we've got plenty ingredients for my new borscht, tomatoes, red beans, fresh black currant juice, head of broccoli, baked white beans in adjiga, bunch of dill, pickled beets, beet salad, peaches, pumpkin seeds, greek youghurts, coconut chocolate:woo:; fish salad, chicken pie, ham and mazoni for my meat-luvr mom. Eeeh,... i used to drink lots of mazoni at our armenians' place when i was an omni :p. It is so unusual to realize that it is summer already and the sun stays up until 11 p.m. But it's only beginning, because in june it stays up all night:rolleyes:

You finally got fresh broccoli??? :)
 
A third pack of dates from Aldi. They're $2.99 a pound this week and the pack even says non-gmo. I discovered they're magical when frozen! :)
 
We found fresh cauliflower:dance:! ****ing expensive:eek:. But i was lucky because my mom was craving it, so this time she didn't argue too much. So, tonight is a day of cruciferous veggies.:weird: Also we bought fresh black currant and marshwort juices, beet salad, granny smith apples, cherries, garlic and drench liquor; different types of meat pies, chicken salad and canned pork for my mom.:worms: But the most amazing thing is that my ideas are material: i've been thinking about lobio a lot recently (it's a georgian-style bean dish, i love it soooo much!), and suddenly we found it at the pickled food aisle:ma:. I can't wait to try it... When i made my first steps towards veganism, i was young and clueless, and didn't know what to eat, so for now i can say that i'm tired of rice and pasta e.g., but beans (and eggplants) are the meals i could never get tired of, no matter how much of it i'm eating:iiam: . Hahaha! My mom is eating goutweed and nettle:dizzy::D (Though there is nothing funny in it.)

A Jamestown sweatshirt and an amethyst crystal necklace (inspired by Moll mentioning amethyst in the other thread). It’s very plain/simple. I love it.

Oh and two really nice Jamestown mugs because I really don’t have enough mugs. * sarcasm *. :rolleyes:

But I love buying mugs when I go on vacation especially when it has an unusual shape.

I had a busy afternoon. I went to the Fallbrook Shopping Center in West Hills.

First, EvilMart:

1 pair clip-on sunglasses
2 eyeglass cleaning cloths. I keep those things everywhere so I cannot resist buying more. These had a butterfly design on one and a yoga design on the other.
1 set of four mini American flags
Two short sleeved T-shirts, one blue and one gray
1 layering tank top, with a cute pineapple design on a white background

Next, Ulta Beauty:

Color touch up
Cut and style

My regular stylist, Elizabeth, is on maternity leave, so Ricky did my hair. He did a pretty good job, although, like everyone else who works on my hair, he put way too much styling product in my hair, and now it’s really stiff and my scalp itches. :rolleyes:

And finally, Sprouts Market:

2 bags of mini babybel cheese
1 box of blueberries
1 bag of peeled carrots
1 bag of croutons
1 Vega protein bar, chocolate peanut butter. First time buying this brand of protein bar. It’s labeled vegan and I’m going to see if I like it enough to buy it again.
A box of chocolate covered almonds
A box of dried mango
2 Annie Chun’s instant Teriyaki noodle bowls, vegan
1 Annie Chun’s instant Udon soup, vegan
A premade salad called Ka-Power Greens, containing kale, carrots, red cabbage, edamame, red peppers, red onion, and sunflower seeds with a sesame ginger dressing. I hope I like it.
A vegetarian snack box containing raw peeled carrots, raw broccoli, cucumber slices, and hummus. I ate this one for dinner.

Got home and discovered that I’d lost one of my earrings during my afternoon. I was so upset because I like those earrings that I went back to greatergood.com Help Send Rosy to Nursing College and opened the literacy site store, bought those same earrings again, plus three other pairs of earrings because they donate free books to underprivileged kids with every purchase. Plus two chocolate bars because...chocolate. :drool:

I spent a lot of money today, and my nephew, who pays my bills, will kill me. :eek:

@Amy SF - that Ka-power salad sounds like the kale salad I buy at Aldi, other than Aldi includes seeds with cranberries and orange dressing. I'll buy an iceberg lettuce to mix it with and usually make 3 salads out of it. I use a balsamic dressing and the cranberries and save the dressing it comes with to use for tofu or tempeh stir fries.

I got 2 pints of organic strawberries from a market down the street for .99 cents! They had signs advertising outside, but not that they were organic. When I saw them they weren't very red, really didn't look appealing, and from Mexico. I almost passed, then saw the USDA organic, so I got 2. They're delicious! :eek:! I'm gonna see if I can get more and stock the freezer, and make that chia jam with date syrup I've been wanting to make!

Well, I bought another lawn mower :rolleyes:.
When I first moved here I bought a regular push reel mower, thinking it would be fine for such a small yard. It just didn't cut all the different types of grass that I have. I got a $200 fine for grass that wasn't even tall enough to be fined. Then last year I got a cheap gas mower I hated from the first use. I made a point to buy from a small locally run hardware--they said no returns! :mad:! This year it won't even try and start and I have no one to turn to. My neighbor cut it for me, so today, smart or stupid, I bought yet another mower from Home Depot and got the plan that lets me take it back if it needs repairs--and a 30 day return policy :up:
 
I couldn't help grabbing the rest of spinach pies from the shelf. :D Also we've got more various types of white baked beans, blackberry drench liquor, black currant juice, pomegranate juice, tomatoes on the vine, bunch of beet-carrot-potato-cuke-peas salad, white napa cabbage, marzipan candies, vanilla and strawberry brownies and pears; herring for my mom. Then we bought me a new awesome med for my creepy stomach. :worms::p

Among the other things (e.g. ingredients for my new borscht, black currant juice, dill, 3 spinach pies, red beans, bell peppers, beet salad, apple cider vinegar, brownies, etc.) we've got 2 packs of farro(!), - i'm so happy we found it there, that i couldn't buy only one, and 2 packs of algerian dates. I haven't had dates since my childhood because they seemed too sweet to me, but today i'm feeling that they are just fine. :p Now i'm up to buying more pickled seaweed (tomorrow) and tqemali (georgian sweet and savory sauce made of yellow cherry plum). :rolleyes:

Got a sweet deal on Nature's Bounty (veg-friendly) acidophilus tablets from CVS.... They were BOGO for $10.99 (120 tabs per bottle)... I used my ExtraBucks coupon and paid only $3.99 for both bottles! :D

And I bought a used copy of Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) - IMDb (finally!) at Family Video for $1.99. :up: I could've gotten two for $3, but this was the only one on the table that I really wanted.
