On the way home (after finishing off my strawberries, of course), I stopped into India 4 U, which has fairly recently moved from Hawthorne to Belmont. Their space seems to have been reduced by 90%, but it's amazing how they really squish all their items into the little place. Anyways, I told the clerk that I wanted to figure out some food and he was gung-ho on setting me up with all the ingredients and a recipe for dal. It was great! Now I'm all set, although, with the weather being so warm, I doubt I'll be eating the warm lentils for a while...
Then, today, my friend and I went to Bob's Red Mill in Milwaukie to pick up some bulk items. It was my first time there, but I've always been a big Bob's fan. I bought a Whole Foods bag-full of bulk oatmeal, sesame seeds (I plan on making homemade hummus), fresh-ground peanut butter, flax seeds, and brown rice, and it only cost me $9! YES! Supporting local farms and food seems easier than ever, but that's also because it's May and the fresh food is plentiful. Now I just have to learn how to buy large amounts and preserve them for the colder months.
