Spinach finished?

JANUARY 11, 2008

Ahhhh……yesterday was the big grocery day. I spent $134 on totally Canadian food. However, very little Canadian produce. I only found apples, potatoes, carrots, onions and fresh herbs. I guess that new recipe I really wanted to try with spinach and red pepper will have to wait. I couldn’t even find any frozen spinach. Hmmm..again…this was something Kevin could grow in his garden….all pesticide free….why wouldn’t we carry any Canadian frozen spinach.

My shopping was all done at Sobeys (downtown). I was disappointed.

Later in the day, Kevin made a run to the Superstore . He wasn't able to find spinach or red pepper, but did pick up a few items for his lunch. He bought his favorite frozen dinners. Alas, they were packaged in the US. You cannot return frozen food, and we really want to try and make this work, to live with our mistakes.....so... I threw them out.

I didn’t find this too difficult…as I have been going down this road for a few years…with just a few detours. I do see lots of choices for some lovely Quebec cheeses I am eager to try. Some are a bit pricey, but I will have extra money from not buying lots of fruit.

I wonder what my cholesterol levels will be by summer. More cheese and less fruit.
