World Market Finds
 

I was running low on dried shallots. I assumed I had purchased those at
Target because the bottle looks just like their spice bottles. Nope. They
came from World Market. I bought 2 bottles of those because they were on
sale 20% off and they go really well in a tuna or chicken salad.

Sadly they did not have any lupini beans. I know I have seen them somewhere
but maybe it was when we lived on Cape Cod. I read that they are commonly
eaten in Portugal as well as Italy and there are a lot of Portuguese people
who live there. The manager was going to look into it and try to order some
for me. Yay! I have found them online but am unwilling to pay $12 or so
for postage on one jar.

I did find thin, whole wheat pizza crusts that I can eat. And some whole
wheat and sweet potato gnocchi. Daughter immediately said she wouldn't eat
them. I don't know why! I can see refusing to eat some things like maybe
octopus or snails without even trying them. But a vegetable based product?
She loves pasta and she loves sweet potato fries. I would think she would
like these.

I think her mother is a lunatic.

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy my breakfast of scrambled eggs, mashed potato
pancakes and sausage patties. I'm not allergic to food :)

What's it become if you add chili or sauerkraut--over loaded?

She tells us only what she wants us to know. I concur.

They'll find it stomped into the floor in the corners weeks later.

Aerobic exercise is the key to making any diet work...walking, running, bike
riding. It's going to be slow if she (or anyone) skips that part.

That is not enough exercise to do it- you 2 should be taking a good
walk daily. I'm sure you can't for a number of reasons, but it would
do you good regardless...

Are you freaking kidding me? Have you ever taken a dance class? And no. I
can't walk. I am disabled.
