It's the recent news about the Otsuka pharmaceutical company acquiring Daiya. I know it's really hard to avoid buying vegan items at times without compromising oneself, but this one is too blatant. They test on animals, and I just can't go for that, so no more Daiya for me if this acquisition goes through. Re: Chao: I had tried it a while back, but I didn't really like it all that much. I think if I just use it on things like black bean burgers and maybe nachos, I might be able to tolerate it. It wasn't awful; it was just kind of bland. I haven't found Follow Your Heart vegan cheese yet, but according to my research it's sold at a grocery store that isn't too far from me. I probably will try that next. I'm just so disappointed about Daiya because I really liked it, especially the blocks.

I know, but this one really struck a nerve. I so love the Daiya cheddar and jalapeño havarti blocks, even more than the shreds. And a local pizza place uses Daiya for its vegan pizza. *Sigh* I've only been able to find the original creamy flavor of Chao. I'll have to hunt around to find the other ones.
Oh, and I just ordered this mirror for my bathroom:

Screw Daiya.... Chao's got the friggin' shiz-nit!

Last thing I bought: I ordered a set of Egyptian cotton sheets (queen-size) from the place where my nephew works. He gets a commission on anything he sells, so I wanted to help him out. They were pricey, but he has a set himself and really likes them. In a couple of months, I will buy another set. The color I got was a gray/blue. Very pretty. He also gave me the family and friends discount, so I got $15 off.
I agree on the watermelon, both seedless and that with seeds. It's been really bland this summer.Peaches, pluots, and a small watermelon that was actually tasty. The seedless watermelons have been horrendous this season.

Found very good fruit at Fresh Thyme market so I went back for more-
2 peaches
2 nectarines
2 plums
3 lbs cherries- I tasted one in store!
Can't imagine how raw folks can eat so much fruit! I get soooo full, then hungry a short time later without that middle ground of feeling satisfied

Two lunch plates and two salad bowls to add to my new dishes.
Fresh broccoli
Grape tomatoes
Large tomato
Carrots
Romaine lettuce
Vegan chocolates from Divine Treasures: a square of salted caramel and something called a mello bar (it was a little square of chocolatey deliciousness). The chocolates were dessert tonight I just found out they sell vegan soft-serve ice cream as well. This place is only 2 miles from my house. I'm in trouble, haha.

Took a trip to CVS Pharmacy today to get a prescription, and got a few other things:
Disposable razors, coupon
Shave gel, coupons
Sunscreen
Body wash, coupon
Bar soap, coupon
Calcium supplements
Chocolate parfait hard candy, coupon
Pumpkin seeds
Raw almonds, coupon
Original Oreo cookies, coupon
Crystal deodorant, coupon
Drinking water, on sale, 2/$2.50 (1.5L)
$10 off minimum $40, applied
Total: $113.86 (I didn't expect to find the expensive, and vegetarian, calcium supplements there, otherwise my total would have been $40 cheaper.)
Plus I spent about $21 (including tips) taking Lyft there and back.
But the prescription was free because it was covered by my insurance.
The reason for the first three items: There's going to be a beach outing on Wednesday, and I might go. I don't have my bathing suit here (it's still back at my condo and I can't get it right now), so I'd wear shorts and a tank top. Still lots of exposed flesh!

Tonight my sister's husband is coming to the summer cottage. And i know, he's gonna make BBQ
. But i know at least, that i'll have something to eat, because i've bought yellow tomatoes and pickled asparagus. It's texture is quite meaty. Also i have a lot of cabbage salad, actually 3 of them. They will be trying to make me eat the bbq meat. Pathetic.

Three teddies for Vida. Her favourite teddy is dead, and I found some new one on a internet store. So I ordered three, and then I will keep two and she can have the third one until that also is dead. She prefer dark brown, small teddies.

No effin' whey!
In addition to my usual list of pet supplies and groceries, I spotted these at the store yesterday and HAD to buy them:
The flavors are Dragon Whispers, Yeti Mischief, Mermaid Songs and Unicorn Kisses. Thus far, I have only sampled the Yeti Mischief. It tastes like fruit punch. Plus, the cans are ADORABLE.
