Last Thing You Bought?

^ What is wrong with Ben? :(

My dog has to go on Saturday to the vet to get his annual injections and more syringes and medications and stuff. Luckily, our insurance pays for his medical conditions.

We are waiting on test results. Basically, he stopped eating and lost 1.5 lbs. They did an abdominal xray which didn’t show any masses. Then they took some blood, a urine sample and gave him fluids. Two of his lymph nodes in his neck and shoulder were very enlarged so they did a needle biopsy.

He was so good for them which kind of surprised me, only because, even though he’s such a gentle soul, he doesn’t like to be manhandled. So I thought he would give them a hard time. But perhaps he was so sick/weak that he couldn’t muster up enough fight, lol, poor guy.

They also gave him a shot of anti-nausea meds which was awesome because when we got home he was so much better and while he didn’t eat much, he ate some and was happy/energetic. I’m guessing the fluids had something to do with that too. He kind of crashed about an hour later and had a quiet night but he had some breakfast this morning. So I guess we will wait on the test results and take it from there.
 
After work, in Spar grocer, i bought 2 packs of white quinoa!:woo: This might seem ridiculous, but i've had quinoa only once in my life.:iiam: (It was in a vacuum pack containing veggies as well, and it cost like gold,- maybe that's why we don't ever buy any quinoa). Btw, on Tuesday, i saw it in Prisma grocer, but the packs were very small and expensive. I also saw black quinoa there :???:. Maybe once i'll try it. ...Plus, today i got a very decent head of cauliflower. There were very few heads of cauliflower, but i dug one up, lol, as i'd been craving it.:D I couldn't drag my blocky carcass to "Okey" tonight, and therefore, i didn't buy georgian-style cabbage (though i desperately need it), but i bought a jar of pickled shredded beets in Spar. It's a harmful thing, i know, but as soon as i didn't find any raw shredded beets either...:sigh: Plus i got disgusting juices on a good discount. My legs hurt like a hell, but i'm dragging a heavy sack (of i don't know what) again. I'm incorrigible.:rofl: But what can i do if i don't have a car, and if mom or anybody else can't buy me food? C'est la vie.:p

I braved the rain this morning and went to Trader Joe’s. I don’t have the receipt at the moment, so off the top of my head:

Blueberries
Carrots
Four different kinds of salads
Hummus and pita chips
Tejava tea, bottled
Cheese, mini Babybel
Boursin garlic and herbs cheese spread
Teriyaki flavored baked tofu
Drinking water
Tortilla chips
Corn tortillas
Plain bagels
Bagged movie theater-style popcorn
Plain milk chocolate bars, 3-pack
Two Ritter Sport bars, milk chocolate with hazelnuts
Two jars of kosher dill pickles because they’re that good
And apples! They had several different varieties, some of them new to me. I decided to first try the Jazz, described on the bag as a cross between Braeburn and Royal Gala. I also got a single Pink Alice, which the sticker says is direct from Washington state.

I think that’s it. You can see that I wanted to give myself alternatives to what I get from the kitchen.

Some "Beyond Burgers" for myself and some friends ...

They are only available at METRO wholesale market in Germany, so you can't just buy one or two in the shop...
3 cartons, 126 burgers in total :D

Maybe your nickname here can be "Beyond Burger Hungry"! (A major restaurant chain in the U.S., "Red Barn", used to have an advertising mascot named "Hamburger Hungry"- it was quite some time ago.)

@KLS52 How is your cat Ben doing?

He seems to be better but I weighed him this morning and he has not gained any of the weight back, which concerns me. He is eating at least as well as he ate before. But I think, because he had always maintained his weight before, eating the way he was is simply letting him maintain now. He would need to eat more if I wanted him to gain the weight back. I am going to bring him back to the vet this coming week to get a good weight reading, in case my scale is off. But I was only off by an ounce when I brought him in when he first got sick, so I don’t really think it’s the scale. Thank you for asking.
 
I bought a lovely meal at Willimantic Brewing Co. during a friend's birthday celebration: Veggie burger, steak fries and two beers. :D It was delicious! It's a good thing this place isn't around the corner (still only 25 minutes away), or I'd want to go every week.

Just came from Trader Joes.
A 2 lb bag of organic gala apples- which are really really good! 2.99
Heirloom oranges, 4 lbs. Much better than what I;ve had, but not as good as I'd hoped. 3.99
Organic tahini, a smaller jar than I usually see. Hoping I like to use in things. We'll see! 3.69
Medjool dates-a pound for 4.99.-- Found two full of black mold or something inside
3 lb bag of Japanese garnet sweet potatoes for 3.99
12 oz raw Brazil nuts. 4 eaten once a day lowers cholesterol according to Dr Greger 6.99
Soy Chorizo 2.29
Tempehs 1.99
Plaintain chips 1.79
Inca Corn snacks (like corn nuts) 1.99
Dolmas 2,49
3 small organic garlic bulbs (finally USA) 1.69

Yes I'm sitting here with the receipt!

and the dark chocolate covered crystalized ginger pieces. I stopped buying them when I saw 'confectioners glaze' but now see it says coconut based. Hoping it's vegan o_O ETA-- the glaze says coconut, but they have milk- noticed at home while eating them.

They had some things that had all veg ingredients and I would think should have the label but didn't. I mean at least should say 'vegetarian'. Can't remember what
