I'm finally going to try the No Bull "bleeding" burger from Iceland (a UK frozen food shop) today. 
The "blood" is beetroot extract. A lot of British vegans online say that it is very realistic and meaty. We shall see...
I also replaced all my old bath towels with quick-drying ones and bought some vegan shampoo and conditioner.

It'll be interesting to read your feedback. I don't like beetroot so think I'll pass. The latest products that I've tried tasted were very good; Sainsbury's shroomdogs and Oumpf.

I saw this pasta made from palm hearts. It was apparently shown on the programme Shark Tank. It is lower in calories and gluten free, but the reviewers say it tastes like real wheat pasta. Palmini.
I thought I would try some but the price is ridiculous. It was about £13 for one small can! I think I will wait until the price comes down before I buy any.
I keep forgetting about the shroomdogs.
I was making baked potatoes so I cooked the burger in the oven yesterday. I thought it tasted a lot like a soya burger I've eaten before. I can't remember what one as I must have eaten a lot of them over the past 25 years! It didn't taste like meat to me, from what I remember.
I'm going to fry it in oil today and see if it tastes different.

We had an outing to the mall today, from 11 to 1.
1. I first headed to Subway for an early, quick lunch, because I can’t shop on an empty stomach, and I wanted to take my lunch pills anyway. I got a Veggie Delite 6 inch sub, a packet of apple slices, and a bottle of water.
2. I then headed to JC Penney and looked for a white shirt with either 3/4 length sleeves or full length long sleeves, both badly needed staples for my wardrobe. I found both, with the former in a v-neck and the latter in a round neck. I snapped up both. I also got a dark wash denim button up shirt, in a larger size than usual because I want to wear it as an overshirt rather than just by itself. I love the St. John’s Bay brand.
I’m thinking of getting both shirts in black, too, as black shirts are also handy wardrobe staples. I did get a few more v-neck shirts with 3/4 length sleeves in some other colors for cooler weather as they were discounted 50% or more, and the couple I got from Macy’s last year don’t fit me anymore as I gained some weight. 
I also found a small crossbody bag with an adorable print, with LOTS of outside pockets, reduced from $49 to $19.59. Since 1959 is my birth year, I took it as a good sign and snapped that up, too. I’ve been carrying around this big crossbody purse weighted down with too much crap EVERYWHERE, and I don’t have to. I wanted a smaller bag for outings and quick shopping trips, with just a minimal amount of stuff needed.
I was going to go back to Subway and get a Veggie Delite chopped salad with a veggie patty added to take home for dinner, but I was carrying several heavy bags and I remembered I don’t have room in my little fridge for it right now anyway. Maybe next time.

Shopping trip to Trader Joe’s this morning. Going from memory, I bought:
Four salads, one southwestern, one country Italian, one Greek and one tomato and mozzarella.
A Mediterranean assortment box, such as stuffed grape leaves and tomato wheat bulgur salad, labeled vegan.
A box of veggie wraps, two in the box. I’m eating one of them for lunch right now.
1 bag theater style popcorn
2 bags candied pecans
1 bag candied walnuts
1 box of cherries
1 box of blueberries
1 box of organic chia bars
2 bottles of water. After all this time, Trader Joe’s STILL sells 1.5 L bottles of water for 49 cents each. Amazing.
1 bottle each of tea tree shampoo, tea tree conditioner, and tea tree body wash. It’ll be a while before I try them out, but I’ll post a review once I do.
I think that’s it.
I just remembered I forgot to look for Tejava tea in the four-pack. Oh, well.
Trader Joe’s takes Apple Pay. I love the convenience.

My husband tried the vegan "bleeding" burger the other day and thought it tasted a lot like a meat burger.
I was trying to think of when I last ate a beef burger and it was probably a few years before I even went vegetarian so when I was about 14 years old, so 1990. Ages ago!
The last thing I bought was a calendar and a book for my kindle - Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life.

Those burgers are quite realistic... Too much for me tbh - wouldn't eat one again.

- 1 box Panko bread crumbs - (other plain crumbs had butter, milk, egg, etc.)
- 1 bottle Simple Truth organic ketchup - (haven't had ketchup in years!)
- 1 can Kroger garbanzo beans
- 1 six-pack Founders All Day IPA
- 1 tub Earth Balance organic whipped buttery spread
- 1 container chopped red onion - (not a single whole one!)
- 1 medium sweet onion
- 3 small zucchini squash
- 1 bag Simple Truth organic crinkle-cut fries
Oh yes, I also ordered some CBD stuff to try again. It hasn't arrived yet. I bought a different one from last time.
I like that burger the more I have it, luckily I bought several packs!
I have it in a bun with gherkins, yellow mustard and ketchup and it does remind me of a McDonald's burger, or something.

This evening we came back to our hometown. At 11p.m. we headed out to "Perekrjostok". So, for me we got: tomatoes, nectarins, big bag of eggplants, 3 packs of split peas, 3 qutabs, 2 packs of cayenne salsa, korean-style pressed soy fiber, dried dill, yeast seasoning, drinking water, 2 disgusting juices, and "Prebranac" (serbian-style baked beans). For mom: sausages, mayo, cheese cake, doughnut, 2 jars of capelin caviar
, cheese pie, spinach pie, poppy pie, 2 sweet cream cheeses, and a bunch of our national dish "Sjeljodka pod shuboy" ("Herring under the coat").

Yesterday i bought a new thing: georgian-style chopped pickled cabbage. I thought that if it looks similar to what we'd had in Abkhazia, it would taste similar... I also bought a huge (and cheap!) container of pickled pressed soy fiber and 4 containers of my favorite brand of korean-style chopped cabbage,
(and some maliscious garbage for Gala). That georgian-style cabbage was too spicy even for me! But today i've "forgotten" about it and eaten the whole box.
When i come to Kolpino, i'm gonna get cashews, disgusting juices, and perhaps some leafy greens, or napa-cabbage, as i'm suddenly craving something "wet", as we say.

Couldn't buy any hummus yesterday: it costs ~$4.5
. I've never tried it, so, it would have been much better, if it was affordable. I guess, i'll have to live without it somehow (or buy it when the New Year comes).

I just came back from Vons supermarket, and among other things, I got some radishes! I love radishes and used to eat them all the time, but we don’t get them here. I was walking past the organic produce, and the organic radishes looked very nice, and I realized I haven’t had any radishes in a really long time. So there are some red and white ones in my fridge now. Don’t let me forget to eat them!
