i did some shopping today.

i was able to find some grape-blueberry concentrate and some "blueberry cocktail" that had it listed as the third ingredient, both for exorbitant prices. still no orange juice in tetrapacks. so, i went with the pure apple juice (not from concentrate) on sale, instead. i'll keep an eye out for it at the far store, and suspect there may actually be some at the italian store, as they carry weird things like that.

no plums at either store i went to today. i guess they're not in season, and the demand isn't high enough to carry them out of season. those blueberries are lasting longer than i thought, but i'll poke around a few places.

they had some sorghum fusilli at the bulk barn, but i took a look at the ingredient list and was kind of disappointed by it. i know that mass manufactured pasta has a bad reputation, but the packaging for the sorghum fusilli did not indicate the presence of any b vitamins. you'd think if they're there they'd be listed. and, i kind of assumed the sorghum pasta would be enriched. i don't want to strip my diet of b vitamins for the sake of anti-oxidants - that sounds like a bad trade-off. i would also need to change my recipe, if i were to move to fusilli from fettucine.

i'm thinking that the bagels are a better target. i used to make my eggs with rye bread, and my tomato sandwiches with bagels. over time, i ended up using bagels for eggs, and stopped buying rye - as i phased out the tomato sandwiches. that's not something i really sat down and thought about, although i was also getting a good deal on big bags of bagels, which has since disappeared. i should re-evaluate what i'm eating with my eggs, regardless, and probably go back to the rye if i can't find a sorghum option.

i did get some oregano at bulk barn for cheap, and will probably start getting celery salt there, too. let's start with that and see how it tastes before i jump to basil and/or parsley.
