food links and grocery shopping

Ann and I went to the Wedge last night, and this is what happens when you go with a very small list, and you feel like doing a little impulse buying:

one loaf of Great Harvest Bread Co. multigrain sandwich bread

BULK
a pound of Peace Coffee Italian Roast Sumatra
a pound and a half of organic rolled oats

BAKERY
a peanut butter cookie for Ann
a vegan pumpkin cupcake for me (it was just okay)

FROZEN
a bag of Cascadian Farm Organic Spud Puppies (i.e., tater tots)
an Amy's roasted veggie no cheese pizza (on sale!!)

PACKAGED GROCERY
a box of Annie's organic shells and WI cheddar cheese

four organic, fair trade bananas
two organic Gala apples
one organic Mutsu apple (a variety I'd never heard before!)

one organic, fair trade mango
one and one third pounds of organic red grapes

one organic red bell pepper
one small organic zucchini

REFRIGERATED GROCERY

Well. That post sure took a long time! I rarely buy that much prepackaged food, however -- I think it must have been time to stock up. Usually, I spend most of my grocery shopping time in the produce and bulk departments. A fluke.

No cooking projects planned yet, but I'll let you know if I decide to hit the kitchen at some point this weekend.

Happy Saturday!
