Seedy…

Blech! It’s so hot out. You know it’s bad when you start choosing your route home based on where there’s shade.

You know what I love? Trader Joe’s. That store is so sweet. I’ve only been there three times in my life, but I’ve been eating their food longer than that (thanks, Mom). I just feel so much better shopping there with all their natural and organic foods. Hmmm…hippie-riffic. It’s a bit more expensive of course and they don’t have a store near me, but when I go, it’s a treat.

I made one find that I was especially excited about. You see there’s a Trader Joe’s right across the street from where I was staying in Chicago and I found something awesome in my friend’s cupboard: Hemp Plus Granola organic cereal. How sweet is that? I had to go buy myself a box to bring home. It’s very tasty. I also picked up a little flaxseed meal. Goes great in oatmeal or yogurt. I put some on my cereal in the mornings now too. My friend Marla introduced me to flaxseed. It’s extrordinarily good for you and has a nice nutty flavor. Ya know, being a hippie isn’t so bad. I even picked up some veggie sausage for breakfast (by accident) and defiantely enjoyed that (although Chad was less thrilled).
Everyone stay cool and drink lots of water. I’m off for a little barbeque action.
