CHOCOLATE

As I’ve been recovering from the crud, my appetite has been increasing. And I realized that I’m low on teh fewd. So this evening I went to the store.

For dinner I had Amy’s Mattar Tofu:

In my omni days I LOVED Amy’s Mattar Paneer. So I was stoked to see that Amy’s subbed out the cheese with tofu. I won’t be scarffing this down every day cause it’s spendy. But I plan on making my own soon. I love Indian food. And blessedly, the sub continent is ripe with vegetarian cuisine.

I also picked up a handful of CHOCOLATE.

I was in Medford Food-4-Less (who it seems no longer have little debbie pies *cries*) and I looked all over the junk food section of the health food area. I walked away with two Lärabars:

Chocolate Mint

Chocolate Coconut Chew

I keep hearing about Lärabars from other vegan bloggers so I figured I’d give them a try. They’re dairy free, gluten free, soy free, vegan, kosher 90% raw and any other label you can throw out there that might contribute to your kid getting beaten up for being different.

I also grabbed a Enjoy Life “boom CHOCO boom” dairy-free rice milk bar:

it’s dairy, nut & soy free and “made in a dedicated nut- and gluten-free facility.” It’s tiny and the packaging is obviously ugly. But what do I care? I’m not collecting wrappers. I’m eating chocolate.

My last chocolate purchase was Terra Nostra’s Ricemilk Choco:

And this is the one I’m excited about. Gluten-free, organic & “Equitable Trade”, I feel holier than thou, just having it in my shopping cart.

And as I was making my way to the checkout I picked up a 3-pack of cracker jacks. I don’t know when Cracker Jacks decided to start sucking in the prize department, but it’s getting more and more difficult to recreate timeless Breakfast at Tifanny’s moments like engraving a cracker jacks ring at Tifanny’s when all I get out of a box is a poorly drawn picture of a young George Washington with the trivia question “Who did I grow up to be?” Srsly Cracker Jacks? Srsly?
