Whatcha Eatin?

I had my fair share of plant based supermarket mince pies when I was in Brighton a few month ago. Most of the supermarket brands were
very tasty and inexpensive-far cheaper than making your own. I haven't tasted Greggs as they weren't available when I was visiting.
I never knew about Greggs vegan mince pies. Vegan sausage roll for £1 in Greggs.

The mushrooms were gross so I had to throw them away. This happened last time I bought mushrooms even though they were both in date. Annoying.
It is hard to use mushrooms before they get slimy. someone once told me to take them out of their package as soon as you get them home and store them in the refrigerator in a paper bag instead, and supposedly they won't get slimy as fast. Of course then they are also 'out of sight, out 'of mind'.

I've been lazy and compromised by taking the plastic wrap off the top of the package to let the moisture evaporate. Sometimes they get a little shriveled and dry before I use them but IMO that is better than slimy.

(And what I am eating is oatmeal--for dinner--topped with beet greens and collard greens and olive oil and a few leftover black beans and some black pepper, and an apple for desert)

definitely have to take them out of the plastic!! in my supermarket they actually provide paper bags for the loose ones and I have a good stache of them and even if I do buy them in plastic on sale they go immediately, now, into paper - lunch bag paper bags are perfect if you can't find any others

today we will be having breakfast beans/onions/jalapenos on toast and I have some liquid Just Egg so will make a bit of a scramble and put it in a bagel - banana/orange too
