Ha Seth, if you’re footing the bill when you go grocery shopping with your parents, I think it’s time to change your strategy ;)

Please don’t take this offensively, I’m trying to be constructive…

Did I remember you saying you needed to cut back on the grocery budget? One great way to do that is to not get all of those pre-made foods. Personally, I NEVER buy hummus in the store. Not only is it waaaaaay more expensive, but I like to leave out a lot of oil to make it much more calorie friendly. It’s just so easy to whip up a batch that I like to make my own.

That reminds me… I need to make a new batch of hummus. I haven’t had any in a while.

To answer your drink question: I am not a coffee drinker, and on the rare occasion that I drink tea, I like chai.

What a fab day! Glad you got to see everyone- Scottish oats are where it’s at ;) I eat Scottish ones but they look like normal. I think yours may have been Scottish pinhead oats? That restaurant looks awesome…I cooked some felafel today for the first time in ages. Good stuff. Also tried Maranatha for the first time- LOVEEEEEEEEE it.

Tea or coffee? I drink both. I am fussy about coffee though and it needs to be ‘just right’. Ie, made myself or at least jazzed up by me. I think coffee is like a signature- everyone’s taste is so unique to them. Does that sound crazy? I rarely order coffee out unless I know exactly what is available because I would rather have no coffee than bad coffee (self-confessed coffee snob here!) My family are like that with tea, but as long as it’s black tea and served with milk and sweetener/honey, I’m happy.

I am a tea and coffee person! If I had to pick then tea would win…I am English after all but coffee is amazing. Sigh, caffeine, how I love thee.

Every time you go to that restaurant I am left drooling at my computer screen! It looks phenomenal!

I prefer coffee to hot tea but I prefer iced tea to hot tea. Weird huh?

I want to eat everything in this post! YUM!

If I’m getting it anywhere but home I always choose coffee over tea. If I’m at home I always choose tea. My favorite is green tea.

The beet and goat cheese salad has me salivating!! I’m so going to that restaurant when I’m back in NB….

I’ve never tried that hummus before, now I guess I’ll have to. I’ve always bought the Fontaine Sante 2-pack of hummus instead. That stuff’s pretty crack-a-lackin’ too!

I’m a coffee girl. I prefer espresso – done on my stove top “Mooka” – it makes two cups of delicious cappucino in only minutes.
