Last Thing You Bought?

I drove my to work so stopped at Whole Foods, being on the way home. Holy Mackerel! Reminded me why being vegan, or just whole foods, is seen as elitist! :eek:
I went mostly for nooch. Their bulk still has no B12, their own brand had it on the label- 2 tablespoons have .03mcg! Are you kidding? Why even bother mentioning it:rolleyes:
I did get a small thing of the bulk. I'll wait for a big order from vitacost or other online place when they have 20% off grocery items I guess.

I'm still obsessing over buying a $90 coat...
 
I love to comparison shop. I can offer suggestions for where to get best discounts on most things, though I don't actually buy much. This year I've been browsing so much, and have bought things on sale, needed things, and things for my sons.
One that really sparked my interest is the Instapot-electric pressure cooker/slow cooker/rice cooker. The one with the stainless steel removable pot. It's normally $100. and I've been saying I'd get it when it came down. It's now $59.00 on amazon! :eek:
I don't know what to do! I've spent more than I probably should, it's not a real need, but I so want it!

Maybe she means this:

Sumac - Wikipedia

The spice, I mean.

Ooops, sorry.:ooal:. Yes, you're right. It is sumac in English. It is just Sumakh in armenian. And i'm used to it... :lick:. I've just found a new trading spot in our town that sells sumakh:jump:. A long time ago it was more expensive than gold:angel:

What does sumac taste like?
 
^^^It tastes tangy, kind of like lemon. I've heard you can steep those red berry-like fruits in water to make a sort of pink lemonade; I tried but it didn't taste like anything- maybe I was supposed to use hot water, or maybe the things weren't at the right stage of ripeness. I've channeled my inner Euell Gibbons and tasted them; they're sour.

Maybe the Middle eastern spice is a different species, because the Sumac that grows so rampantly in my area doesn't have any sort of odor I can detect, that Val mentions.

The last things I bought were salad fixings for my get-together on Wednesday: romaine lettuce, fresh mushrooms, red bell peppers, cucumber, broccoli, a lemon and a lime for the dressing. I wish I could have actually cooked something instead.

It can replace vinegar:p
And yes, in ancient Egypt they made boiled sumac and used it in dishes and also like a medicine.
