Day 16, New Year

I am trying to convince myself I don't have a cold. I am ignoring the symptoms in the hopes that they will go away sooner. I'll let you know how that works for me.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I went to Whole Foods. I love Whole Foods. The one near me, in Oakville, has a very small seating area otherwise I would actually go there and hang out and have lunch. Their coffee is excellent as well.

It is pricey but I like that I can get items there that I can't find anywhere else and I get lots of ideas from their salad bar and deli/prepared meals counter.  Yesterday we saw an orzo, cranberry and pecan salad. It looked delicious. They always have samples and yesterday I tried Amy's Refried Beans. They were delicious! I've never liked refried beans but these were creamy and didn't have that heavy, beany taste - you know?  I like most of Amy's products but am afraid to try them in case I don't like them and wasting money.  I should be more adventurous.

Over the next week, I'll write about some of the new-to-me food items I picked up and will be trying.

I haven't been outside yet but it looks like a sunny, albeit cold, day in the neighbourhood. I wouldn't go out today if I didn't have to, but I need to drive my son's girlfriend home and pick up some fruit for the coming week and get tissues and some cold meds. I know they don't hasten the cold but they alleviate the symptoms and if I feel better, that's all that really matters.

Have a great Sunday!

  1. Whole Foods is so addictive and wonderful, isn't it?! My neighbor works there. I'm jealous of him. LOL!

    I hope you don't have a cold. But...if you do: get better fast.

    *hugs*

  2. I've got to make the drive to Oakville and visit Whole Foods. I've always wanted to. I drove my daughter's bf home tonight...I wish his parents would drive my girl home once in a while!
