Last Thing You Bought?

Pesto seems the obvious option. I love pesto, so it's likely to be on the menu at some point, but it's so high-calorie from all the oil. I want to find some more creative and less common options to try as well.
 
I don't know where to find almond paste... Those look delicious though. Keep the suggestions rolling.... though I don't want to totally hijack this thread. If anyone happens to have/find any good vegan pinenut recipes, do send a message my way.

It's my thread, so feel free to hijack. :D I'm curious myself as to what else can be done with pine nuts. :)

Oh, and maybe you can get whole raw almonds and make almond paste from scratch? *thinks*
 
Went to the local bakery to pick up some dinner rolls. They were getting close to closing up so not only did they charge me just 50 cents for the rolls, but they also gave me all the items that were left on the shelf! They wanted to clear it all out and didn't want to throw it away. I got bags filled with loaves of bread, donuts, pizza crusts, sandwich rolls, and sub rolls. I gave most of it to family, froze some, made pizzas out of some of the crusts, and still have a couple bags left. I'm going to drop them off to the homeless shelter tomorrow along with various other things I have to donate to them.

Also went to the produce stand to get some veggies for the pizza. The "*****" was working so yet again she overcharged me.:mad: She does this almost every single time. Then when I got home I found that the zucchini I bought were all rotted inside.

Oh well at least I got free bread!:bd:

I bought some stuff to stuff into a "just because" package.
Even if I can mail it off this week, his mail system is a little slow so it won't get there for 2-3 weeks. pft. So "just because" becomes "just whenever" ha.

I just found out the shop very near to me has started selling Astonish (vegan-friendly cleaning products) and incense. :bp: I also bought some fruit pies as I have some soya custard downstairs. Mmm, that will be a nice afternoon snack with a pot of tea I think.

Hmph this thread doesn't get much attention ever snce Jenn left. C'mon, people, I want to know alllll about your awesome purchases!

As for me, among other things, I bought some really good organic strawberies at Ralphs supermarket on Thursday, which, along with the organic blueberries I bought at the same time, are all gone now. I should get some more while I can.
 
I just ordered some flavourings on line for making ice cream and veggie burgers. I also popped into the local vegetable outlet and bought 2 kg of courgettes and a few avocadoes to take to the UK as they are cheap.
 
I went to the farmer's market and got a vegan deep dish pizza, a delicious vegan wrap, a vegan cherry dessert (idk what it was, but it tasted good), vegan chocolate brownie and a bag of nuts. When I was at the farmer's market, someone was handing out free samples of Ms. Meyer, so I got 2 small packages of free vegan dish washing liquid! :D Also got a coupon.
Also got some Aspen bedding and willow sticks from the pet store.

Mine is sneaking up, though. I got it 21 years ago, and is still pretty good, albeit a bit lumpy in spots because it's too heavy for me to turn over by myself. I need a big, strong male to come by and help me with that. :p
 
I recall a long warranty used to be a selling point of mattresses, now I see commercials saying you should replace your mattress every eight years. Ridiculous.
 
I would love to have a memory foam mattress. I've slept on one before and it was like sleeping on a cloud. It was the most comfortable thing ever.
 
More liquid Prednisolone for the Bogey Boy. :p
 
I ordered a sofa bed and some other random stuff like underwear and nightclothes yesterday.
