Day 32 - rambling

With not much to report I just feel like rambling a bit. I am still not sure about today's lunch. I mean, I'm hungry and all, but lack motivation to head home to cook. So maybe I'll just wait until the working hours are over and then made me a tortilla... which will require a grocery stop first for lettuce, since I ate all of it yesterday evening in one of my extra large salads. He he :)

I might stop at a local vendor. I don't know about your country, but we are fully packed with ex-Yugoslavian people selling fruits & veggies in small shops, that are not even built, but just a tin house or some other prefabricated solution. They do tend to have good quality products (in sense of taste & appearance, but I highly doubt they're anything close to organic) but at a high price (strawberries at 14 €/kg, whereas in a regular shop you can get them at 6€/kg). And if I want a really good watermelon I'll usually buy it there, no matter the price. Yeah, I'm sensitive when it comes to watermelons.

I'm lucky to live close (like, 100m) to the most important facilities. We have a bakery, this fruit man is a new addition, pharmacy, a regular shop and an small organic shop, where yesterday I spent a fortune, just buying some bars, a traditionally baked bread (from bakers oven on wood fire - really YUM!) and ... wait for it... hemp protein powder! Actually, I entered the store to buy me some coconut water and left it minus 30 eur on my bank account. I still don't know how this actually happened, but when I spotted the hemp protein powder on the shelf, I just had to have it. Anyway, haven't tried it yet, just opened the package for a smell, curious me. It actually smells like... powdered hay, who would have thought, ha :) So I guess I'll try mixing it in a banana smoothie, for start. Just need to gather the courage to give it a try.

And I still need to try a green smoothie, I have plenty of organic spinach but it's not the most appropriate for raw consumption, since it has been growing the whole winter. My mom actually already planted a spring crop that should be ready for consumption in 2 weeks. Now THAT is something that will go straight into my salads and smoothies!

I'll leave you with a cute picture of our 2,5 year old female beagle, stretching in the sun. La vita e' bella, right?
