I came back home this weekend from my travels with a very bad cold, K2 was also sick...so we spent a lot of the weekend drinking hot soups and under the warm blanket ...partial social isolation...scary thought...I spent a lot of my spare time in the past with friends - confiding, sharing, empathizing...and it felt good. In these twelve months I have focused a lot more inwards...doesn't mean I have become self absorbed, just more self-aware (or so I hope...). I guess I will be back to being a quasi-social butterfly in the near future...but for now the isolation is comforting and comfortable. We took the in-laws to Turmeric this weekend. We then went grocery shopping at The Milk Pail and what a fun time I had shopping there...for all of $15 I picked up -
- 4 lbs of Organic Apples
- 4 lbs of Mandarins
- 1.5 lbs of Cucumber
- 1 lb of Baby Radish
- 1 pint of Grape Tomatoes
- 2 Orange Bell Peppers
- 4 Lemons
- 1 Bag of Frozen Chocolate Croissants (check out how it looks !!!)
- 1 wedge of Sheep & Cow Gouda Cheese
- 3 Lbs of Zucchini ( free for any purchase over $10)
I almost sound like Frugal Fannie...but here is a wonderful, non-traditional independent grocery store that helps you live healthy even if you are on a budget. If you live in Mountain View or Sunnyvale and haven't visited The Milk Pail...you are definitely missing out...
Looking forward to Chinese New Year tomorrow. I picked K2 some of the traditional chinese new year candy and cookies...he ate some but has kept some to share with his pre-school buddies at their Chinese New Year Celebration...xīn nián kuài lè !!!
