Today I went to the Good Harvest Market. It is the nearest organic health food market. It is a little further than my regular shopping place but I knew I had to load up on goods. I spent the morning reading and planning on what to buy but when I got there I felt so disoriented. So many choices and I seriously had to investigate what certain things were. For example, I know what soy sauce is.. but shoyu?Duh. And what are daikons? Okay I may be a complete moron but I didn’t quite know. And the sea stuff?  I know what Nori is but that is about it. Luckily the sea stuff was all grouped together for next time. I felt a little overwhelmed here and there but  oh well.  Next time I am focussing in on  specific recipes and the ingredients. And guess what?  I know what Daikons are now and can’t wait to use them!! Looking around at all the beautiful food I got inspired. I wanted to go with the Nabeyaki Udon noodle dish and miso soup. And that had a bunch of random ingredients I didn’t have on my list. So I looked up the recipe from Alicia’s book. I think that might be my new Bible. Any way. I made it out of there and only spent 20$ more than I regularly do. However, not sure how long the supplies will last and/or if anyone besides me will eat them. I am also happy to report for the first time since forever I actually remembered to bring my own bags and not use paper or plastic. That felt great...so great  in fact I took numerous pictures of the bags and my groceries. I have to say a full bag devoted to greens... was beautiful.
