Hmm… so barking at everything that does or does not exist is really not a good thing…
OK My new obsession is the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series. Although I guess it’s now an old obsession because I just finished the latest book as soon as it came out! I picked up my copy yesterday at B&N and bought Loki a new bone so he’d let me read. (Loki says: These Zuke’s bones are awesome!) Anyway, here’s what we did Tuesday night.
Why is it so difficult to buy food without hydrogenated junk and high fructose corn syrup??? I just spent an hour at Jewel trying to buy normal things - like BREAD and JAM - and every last thing had one of those two ingredients, or both! Even chocolate milk! It’s not necessary either - MOST of the food at Trader Joe’s doesn’t have that stuff in it. I paid $4.50 for a 1/2 gallon of organic chocolate milk just to get something with *real* ingredients. (Which Traders would probably have for half that) I ended up with fruit, some Haagen Daas and some plain apple juice. It shouldn’t be this difficult! Traders… please come to Sugar Grove!!!
