Did I call it or did I call it? I knew the second I discovered this Nourish bread in the back of the freezer it’s days were numbered. The only problem was, I couldn’t decide what I wanted on it. I kinda felt like nut butter, but I don’t love any of the nut butters I currently have on hand. I mean, they are all fine, but none of them are calling to me lately. Maybe I just need a break from the ones I have been buying? Normally TJs is fine for an every… Read more >

This girl!! Do you see how she eats mini bell peppers? Leaving nary a scrap behind. It’s like a science. It reminds me of how my sister eats corn on the cob.

Well it appears there is a Silk soy creamer shortage in the world because I cannot find it ANYWHERE in Davis. This wouldn’t be as annoying if I could easily go to stores to search, but we are a hop skip and a jump from a full court press lockdown so I can’t just pop into every grocery store as a I please trying to track it down.
