Groceries!
 

Along the lines of my health food thread, what did you buy in your most recent trip to the grocery store? I keep posting food threads since i'm in the health craze mode, which i'm very proud of. :) Continuing... Tonight at Publix I bought:

- Organic all natural eggs
-Heinz Ketchup
- Organic 2% milk
- Organic blue tortilla chips (yummy)
- a cool looking glass and a plastic version of said glass.
- Lysine vitamins, (I'm going to try different vitamins and minerals each time a bottle runs out. I also take a centrum every day.
- Minute Maid pomegranate and blueberry juice (I'm in love with this all natural omega-3 business)
- Near East brand rice pilaf, 3 boxes, all whole grain of course :D

i had to go to the store eaarlier to get the finishing ingrediants for dinner tonight, eggs and grapes.

yummmmm i'm addicted to eggs. they're so delicious sunny side up.

Sent Dustin for a few things real quick before we started watching movies

Rising crust supreme pizzas
Ground Beef
JTM Beef Barbecue
Bag of Frozen French Fries
Tomatoes (which the baby has already gotten into and taken bites out of...lol)
Rock Star (Dustin is addicted to these things, I think)
Pediasure Drinks(These things are crazy expensive, but remember the baby's calcium deficiency?...He has to drink these all the time...$300 a month, no kidding)


Well...Back to watching movies :)

Spinach and broccoli have lots of calcium.

The last thing i bought was Fried Ice Cream:)I'm not eating healthy and i love junk food:D

I don't usually plan ahead...just turn up, look around, and apart from the household/cleaning type stuff, foodstuff is subject to...dunno, I just go along and take what I want.

I got some fresh vegies , Brocoli, Asparagus, fennel, ginger, chillies, avocado, zuchini. Also some cashews, apple juice, chick peas and some cereal bars...

True, but not nearly enough for what he needs...He loves broccoli, but it gives him gas, which makes his belly hurt, so we have to limit him (which sucks)...and he'd have to eat several pounds of spinach to get what he needs from it...He also doesn't care to eat meat much for some odd reason, he loves vegetables, pasta, cheese and bread...So, the Pediasure helps him with protein and iron that he might not get enough of, too...Doctor says that after the age of 5 or so, he shouldn't need the Pediasure anymore, but right now the calcium is critical...He had to have prescribed liquid calcium supplements from the time he was 6 days old, until he was about 6 months old, to keep him from having seizures (his little body doesn't absorb and utilize calcium efficiently, so he needs more than a person normally should)...That's how bad it was...He had a pretty rough start, but he's doing great now :)

Poor little guy:(I'm glad to hear that he is doing good now.:)

Heinz Ketchup has high fructose corn syrup in it. We always get Annie's Organic Ketchup, it tastes awesome, like Heinz but just fresher. I believe Whole Foods has it.

Damn!I never knew that Heinz had that in it...guess i should read the labels more often.

True, but I really didn't want to spend that much more for a tiny bottle. I only bought the ketchup so i'd have something to dab my chicken and steak in since we have that almost everyday where i'm staying. A little fructose never killed anyone :P

Oh, yeah. They sneak so much stuff in there, especially partially hydrogenated oils because if it's less than 0.5 grams per serving they don't have to list it on the nutrional information.

Stop damaging my happy health spree!

What are you complaining for? Everything else on your list was fine. :p

Young lady... Your attitude is out of control:cool:

It must be my lack of high fructose corn syrup. :p

I like it when I get the asparagus piss...well, I don't "like" it so much, but I always forget, take a piss, then think...what the fuck is that?
Then I'm like..."ah, asparagus!" and I laugh, holding my dick, I laugh.



...at the smell.

LMAO! That's priceless.





What's up with all this health food crap?
You guys are gonna rot away without your preservatives.

On the flip side...I'm gonna live forever :p

Pumpkins! I got three pumpkins a day or two ago... and I am cooking one of them now! With brown sugar and margarine and spices :) in a baking pan :)

Such a yummy way to cook a pumpkin! :)

I like baking pumpkin after lightly steaming it.
Try steaming it for a few minutes in peices (skin on) then cutting about 1/2 way down into them, rubbing in some olive oil (agreed on the brown sugar too), a touch of salt, pepper, a small amount of mild chilli powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

This, is how I like to eat pumpkin.

I want to cook pumpkin,i never really thought about all the ways to actually prepare it.How do you guys cut it up?Sounds dumb,i'm just trying to figure out which way to cut it up.

I go every day and buy for that night's dinner. I ride my bike and only buy what will fit in the backpack.

Today:
Pork sausage
garlic
broccoli
lemon
dry ravioletti
baguette (which pokes out of the top of the bag)
bottle of chianti
canned tomato
canned tomato paste
fresh basil

I'm making ravioletti bolognese with a side of steamed broccoli w/lemon and the bread

Mmmm, that sounds great!

hamburger
turkey burgers
coffee (christmas flavore):rolleyes: lol
whole wheat bread
cap'n crunch cereal
2% milk
egg nog
potatos
tea
ice cream
butter
beer
vodka.

shit ..you should all see my shopping for last night..
cost me 169$s for 51 items.

the meats bloody expensive but it was the dairy products that
cost the most..
cheese
milk and eggs..etc

Seriously! I cant stand how expencive food has gotten i cant go to the grocery store anymore without spending a whole pay check!:mad:

Dude, that sounds disgusting! :eek:

Well i spelled flavors wrong but its sometimes good they have peppermint and cinnamon and hazelnut all kinds of stuff. Its just to expensive and they only give you about enough to make 3 cups.

I made some 'Christmas flavored" tea last night - Vanilla, cinnamon, cloves (not sure what else was in it)...It was pretty good, Dustin really liked it

But, when I think of 'Christmas flavored' I think of egg nog...And I LOVE egg nog ice-cream

I'll tell you my favorite thing at holiday time: get some chocolate coffee, either Folgers Chocolate Silk or something along those lines, and get Coffee Mate's Peppermint creamer........OMG, heaven!!

About the only flavor I like for coffee itself is chocolate. Now, creamer, on the other hand.......I go nuts buying all different flavors.
