Grocery Love
This weekend I took a trip to Phoenix to see my Dad on his birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad! And while I was there I hit a million asian markets looking for good deals on groceries and I totally won. I know I failed to wait till next month but a)the savings were SUPREME and b)I don't make it down to Phoenix as often as I should and c)grocery shopping in Flagstaff is costly. It burns us. Anyhoo, I think we've got ourself enough dried fungus and frozen udon noodles to last us quite a while. If I'm smart we should have enough pre-made frozen, pickled, canned, and otherwise preserved meals to make it another month. I am pleased and also cooking my buns off.
And check out my lunch for tomorrow:

This is my first real foray into Japanese bento lunches (I say real because my bentos in training all involved gladware and very lumpy rice balls). It consists of sushi rice and furikake, salad of jicama, carrots, and bell pepper, grape tomatoes, nori peanuts, a lemon bean cake, and (not pictured) edamame skewers. It's incredible how much food you can pack in those little tiny lunch boxes (mines about 3x6 inches). I think it came out pretty cute. Again, I please myself.
And no, still no spinning or knitting. I have no idea what kind of blog this is anymore but whatever. The blog needs to find itself. The blog needs its space.
