Last Thing You Bought?

A purple and white striped crossbody bag that says “Burbank” on it, from the hotel gift shop. I have a million bags at home, but I was in such a rush to pack to evacuate that I jammed everything into a small backpack and didn’t think to grab any of my other bags to hold stuff. So I got this to hold some of my extra stuff. It’s nice, but the strap is REALLY long.

@KLS52 Let me know how you like the Kung Pao Chick*n!!! That and hunan Shrimp were my favorite dishes in my previous life.

The last thing I bought was my flu shot this afternoon. :rolleyes:

I’ve had the Kung Pao chicken often...then Whole Foods stopped carrying it. I was so upset! I love it! I’ve never had the real version, though, so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
 
Yes, that's what I thought! Very pleasantly surprised. It was those vbites fish steaks that I actually buy to have at home sometimes & really like. They definitely have a fishy taste however probably not much like the real thing... I can't even remember the real thing really so doesn't really matter to me :D

I don't think that I've had the Vbites mock fish only their nuggets which weren't too bad. I have had Gardein fishless filets which I disliked.
As you say they taste nothing like the real thing. White fish does not have a district marine/fishy smell or taste.

However, Gardein crab less cakes ( crab fritters) really are delicious and do taste of crab. They are amazing and it's a shame that they are not available over here.

It's really nice to know that you can at least have a vegan option of fish & chips when you are dining out.:up:

I found a gift card to nhl.com from a friend that I hadn't used. So I bought a Boston Bruins flag for outside and a new Bruins hoodie. This is what happens when I actually go through the mail, haha. (I am notorious for letting it pile up and then stuffing it in bags for sorting later. :D )

I do the same thing! I’m sitting next to a pile of mail right now because I promised myself I would do it before going back to work on Tuesday. So far I just keep looking at it lol. I just hate doing it so much.

Today i (we) bought:
B12 supplement;
a kilo of dried chinese seaweed for Annie (as she's initially from Sakhalin island and she loves seaweed);
a big sack (1.5 kilos) of delicious various rakhat-lokum:lick:;
2 disgusting juices;
300 g cashews;
1.2 kilos of azeri plums;
"veggie" bread;
2 packs of muesli for Elijah;
2 packs of georgian-style cabbage;
a big pack of pickled yuba;
cayenne salsa;:p
+some "zombie-apocalypse" stuff for mom, like bacon, sausages, chicken pie, cold-boiled pork, cheese, butter, etc...:D
I'm so glad that in our local "Fives" there appeared an aisle with multiple varieties of treats, like rakhat-lokum, pastila, sorbet, nugat, halva, baklava, nuts, dries fruits, etc. They even sell honey, which doesn't impress me, but the choice itself is really impressive.:apple:
 
No money spent today.

But yesterday I got:
- A new book - "The Scottish Prisoner" by Diana Gabaldon
- Nemi on Swedish (that is a Norwegian comic book, but in the Norwegian version half of the magazine is filled with other, horrbile and awful comics...)
- A Niffler plushie
- A Hogwarts lunch box for work
- Two puppy collars and a leash for my puppy, that still isn't born. :P But hey, they were on sale and I love the color!

I'm definitely missing something, but i didn't hear you say anything like that before. Are you expecting a new puppy? Have you made up your mind?:)

Yeah. Life isn't right without a dog. It's so emtpy and strange, and I don't have enough friends and family for not having a dog in fact...

So yeah, I hope to get a puppy during 2019. :) I still have no clue when. But I need a pick up set for him whenever he comes. :P

Thanks. :) I'm really looking forward to be active again. I've trained and competeted with dogs since I was 13 years old. But haven't been active for several years after Vida got retired, and Noomi was too ill to do anything (read: it was more important to give her proper health care all the time, than having a licens to competee on medications...).

You will get a ton of pictures and updates when I know when he's born.
 
I did, as I do every year, bought bargains on stuff Black Friday weekend. Clothes for my sons that were from $35 to $8! A nice sweater in a wine color for me, a lovely candle for $3.99 (two burned out covering the turkey:confused:) Snowflake earrings. A comforter. All at Kohls.

I also went to Penzeys for their free with 5 purchase of pepper and hot chocolate mix and got Northwoods Fire and galangal. I thought of stopping at TJ Maxx in honor of Chryssie but they were so busy!

Today I grocery shopped a bit. You ever see things sold 'each' where they obviously quite different amounts? Fresh Thyme seems to do that a lot- they had bunches of organic beets 2 for $5, some had 4 pretty small ones, others had 3 even 4 really big ones! I got 7 very big ones in all with a lot of beet greens- golden beets. They do taste different. I like beets but I know what people mean by 'dirt' taste, and golden do not
