Food For Thought

I have a big huge post coming in the next few days, but it's not finished yet. To tide you over until then, here's a little side-post.

We went somewhere AMAZING tonight. I had heard of this place, this wonderful place, where dreams come true...



FOODLAND.

The picture is a little shaky from excitement, and the fact that the flash was taking too long to charge so I took it without.

Foodland is this incredible grocery store with EVERYTHING. Salsa, relish, cheese, sour cream, steak, macaroni and cheese...it has it all. At decent prices, too. I bought everything I need to make some really great meals- pork burgers, chili, burritos and tacos- plus some other delicious ingredients for less than $60. For imported "Western" food like Feta cheese, cream of mushroom soup and herb salad dressing, that's really cheap. I was ecstatic.

The service there is great, too. These two young guys unloaded all our groceries, packed them all, wheeled our carts outside and then hailed us a cab. They also put all the groceries into the cab for us. Steph and I were really impressed...and Foodland is open 24 hours a day. Imagine that: if I get a hankering for some honey garlic ribs at 4 in the morning, I don't have to go without. No more! Now I can live the dream...

I found this item at Foodland. I thought it deserved posting. It's another case of "If you don't get why, don't ask".



They're pea shoots. That's not what's funny, though. Notice the brand name...

Anyway.

I made this dinner the other night in another attempt to emulate my mother. I think I did a bang-up job. The tofu here is FANTASTIC. It's called "hard tofu", which almost put me off, but I'm glad I gave in. I had the leftovers tonight and it was two nights of good eating at Chez Heather...



Until next time,
Heather
