Last Thing You Bought?

I didn't like the fish fillets at all. So disappointed. I actually threw them out. I wish I lived near some VVers so I could give you stuff to try that I end up not liking instead of it going to waste. :(

I bought myself some DVDs from Amazon.com. I spent a bit more than I planned, but then I realized how rarely I splurge on non-essential items or spend outside my normal budget. So I am calling it an early birthday present to myself.

I bought a computer game for someone as a gift and some storage boxes for when we pack up our stuff. I finally made my husband clear out his cupboard and I found that I had Firefly on DVD! Apparently one of his friends bought it for me. I don't remember him doing that at all but I was happy to find it as it's such a good series.:)

Whole Foods today: organic sweet potatoes, canned garbanzo and black beans (they have no salt ones there), curried seitan, 2 loaves bakery prairie bread on sale, 2 bags mixed baby greens, Amy's shitake mushroom vinagrette dressing, local organic grape tomatoes on sale, a bunch of bananas that actually look good, jar of Teddys crunchy peanut butter, bar of dark chocolate with raspberries in it, oatmeal, 2 bolthouse blueberry juices, 2 spinach artichoke hummus, 1 baba ganoush.

I have a bunch of produce from our delivery place, and Whole Foods is $$ for fresh produce.

I always buy too much at TJ's. It's just so much fun to shop there! :D

Just placed an order from Amazon for a replacement pen for my little Wellspring notebook, plus three packages of those little round “As Seen on TV” stick-up lights that you push to turn on and off; I can’t find them in the stores anymore. They come three to a package, and I like to put them up two at a time. I have one left from a package I already opened, so with three packages, I’ll have 10 sets to put up. They’re going in the pantry and in my closets.
 
I bought a cd from a band I've never heard of for my brother for Christmas. I'm clearly not up to date with what teens are listening to these days! Ha

Some Lego for my other brother.

& some converse for my boyfriend.

All Christmas gifts.

Rap music ? :(:p

I've just been to Lidl's and bought 1 kilo of leeks, a persimmon fruit, plain chocolate: a small packet of cashews and a pack of pitiless dates = € 5.

It's so convenient when the shops are open on Sundays.

The store is only open until 12.30 today because it's the Christmas period but it was really pleasant to be able to pop out and buy some extra food.

The only time I hear about pitiless dates, they're cheap guys who make their dates pay for their own food and cinema tickets.

*rimshot* :p

I bought some Stayman Winesap apples and one Kabocha squash at the farmer's market near me, and then some fresh parsley at the supermarket. Squash and parsley are going into my Lima bean and Squash stew (using dry shelled limas, not the green kind).

The vendor told me Kabocha isn't as sweet as Acorn or Butternut squash when I asked which squash was more savory/nutty than sweet. I steamed it briefly (whole) to make it easier to peel, but it was still not easy. The seeds are a lot meatier than pumpkin seeds- I'll try roasting them.
 
I've been Harry shopping in Sweden today, or food refuge. :P

- New pyjamaspants (good pyjama pants is the meaning of life sometimes. :P )
- Worm pills for the girls
- 3 DVDs (Vacancy 1 + 2, season 2 of Hannibal and Season 4 of Boardwalk Empire)
- Food, food and more food. Mostly things for xmas cooking.
- Treats for the girls, a present for my friend's dog and some food for Vida

Yes, roast the seeds! :) I use olive oil, black pepper, and Mrs Dash chipotle lime seasoning, or other spices if I'm feeling fancy. :)
