Hubby added lemon juice to his and loved it!   The boys all broke up Mozzerella Flavored soy on theirs.  AND ATE TWO HELPINGS!!!

Grocery Shopping RollerCoaster

So I found myself alone and with an hour to blow tonight.  What better way to spend it than checking out a new Superstore location in the city and see what new hopes it carries.  BLINK BLINK.   Ya… well.  Note to self.  Do so first thing in the morning after a good cup of coffee.  Those kind of excursions require either rum or some serious uppers!

I was getting more and more descouraged as I went through the entire store looking.. HOPING for items to be there.. with no luck.  I called a life line!  “Hubby… I need a pep talk!  Tell me I am doing this for all the right reasons and it’s going to be worth it…”  Like a trooper he stepped up to bat and told me what an amazing supper they had all had ( My second attempt at Fettucine Alfredo) and how the baby had eaten his whole meal without a fight.. and my brother had two helpings!  Points for the man!

Then.. like a gold ray of sunshine in the middle of a thunder storm… I stepped into THE AISLE.
The Aisle is the specialty foods section I guess.   All Organic and such.  I must say I am still annoyed with the Soy Cheese manfacturers ( see soap box entitled  CASEINS!) but at least there were all the ones I had seen to date!  Including the casein free one’s I had recently purchased.  There were several of the decedent soy icecreams.. including the chocolate flake peanut butter one!  MMMMMM  and not only the CeliMixes.. but also the Kinnikinnak line in the freezer and on the shelves.  Also another brand of …errr can’t remember the name.. will add it later.

Egg free ” mayo”.. and lots of other items redeamed my trip.  Well worth it.  NOW to start actually price checking!  Off to eat kabobs and lettuce wraps .. with Praline Soy-ice cream for dessert.. maybe with whipped cream and melted Chocolate chips.  ( milk free of course).  

Hey!  I’ve earned it ;)
