Expedition to the natural foods store!

My lovely mumsi came home from work today and before heading out to the grocery store told me we could stop at our local A Market for a little while. I promptly spazzed and galloped happily out the door and into the car. I was very excited because I havent been to the A Market since my nutcase dad brought me a few years ago to buy his mega herbal shampoo (he absolutely refuses to use any other kind).
So we get there and go inside and the happy smell of non-processed food stuffs greeted me. My mom and I grabbed a coupon book and went to go try some fruit samples. We wandered around for a while and I found some absolutely delicious looking organic whole milk from a local farmer that was unpasteurized. They also had the stuff in CHOCOLATE and you could literaly see the cream rising to the top. Ohmygiddygod it looked so good! It was in glass bottles and you had to make a bottle deposit or something so I didn't get any but I will most definately be getting some next time.
My mom was pestering me to try and find some healthy-ish chips for her and I to snack on and we picked some DELISH chips from a brand called Olive Oil. I think they were rosemary flavored. Oh jeez they were fab (my mom and I snacked on them the whole ride home!).
The best find of the night however, was in the cereal and snack aisle. I was strolling around, just looking while my mom was on the phone with her man, and I happened upon some organic, all natural, Pop-Tart like toaster pastries.
Now, for all of you that don't know, the frosting the Pop-Tart people use has gelatin in it. I do not eat gelatin because it's made from yucky animal related ingredients. However, Pop-Tarts were one of my favorite foods when I was a non-veg. So it's been very difficult for me to not eat them.
Anyways, back to my story. Just for fun, I grabbed a box of the pastries to read the ingredients in the off chance that they were made minus gelatin. Lo and behold.......HOLY CRAP NO GELATIN!!!!!!!!! VICTORY DANCE! RIGHT NOW!
Ok sorry. Any who, I got a tad bit excited. My excitement escalated quite a bit when I saw they were 2 for $5. I grabbed two boxes, wandered over to my mom, and promptly made puppy dog faces at her while she was on the phone to get it into her head that she should really buy me these. Needless to say, she did! (Thank you, magical puppy dog eye powers!)
So we only got a few thinkgs at the whole foods store because darn it they're pretty expensive! Then we went to good old Hannafords to finish up the rest. I replenished my stock of veggie burgers, french fries, pizza, cheese, yogurt, and strawberries. All the essentials. Yum.
I also picked up some things to make a new vegetarian fried rice recipe that I found! That'll probably take place in a few days. As soon as I finish, I promise I'll put it up and say if it was any good or not. Hopefully it's better than my last run in with home-made chinese food. Let me just say I attempted to make scallion pancakes, and it was NOT pretty.
Alright well I have to finish watching Dog the Bounty Hunter (it's right up there with Wife Swap as one of my fav shows) and get some sleep. Also, I'll be pretty busy for the next week or so, since I have to move all my things from my dads house to the various other houses I call home. So I may or may not be able to blog for a while. But rest assured I will return......EVENTUALLY! Haha I crack my self up.
See you tomorrow my dears!
