Sunday recap and a new HIDEAWAY

I am writing this from the GOOD EARTH a few blocks from my apartment and totally enjoying lazily chilling out and CALMLY reading blogs and typing this. Why have I not been doing this earlier?This is my new hideaway-destressing place! I always make plans to GET OUT, and yet end up feeling crammed anxious, aggitated when I'm @ my apartment and on the computer because it is SO cluttered. Anyone have any ideas about de-cluttering? I hate being in there. It is like an episode of Hoarders!! Anyways, my sister finally returned my lap top and I finally decided to get out!  Rewind to yesterday:
I woke up too early, too tired....went to the gym and pushed my way through my workout. I was feeling MEH. Just down for no reason.I ate 3 bags of radish, 2 340g bags of cauliflower, mushrooms, red peppers and of course my Protishake and 4Fiber gooey pudding invention! SOOOO good. I realize my lunch picture looks yucky- but it's all how you season it and it was GOOD!

I have to say this batch of CREAMY amazing Protilife soft serving/shake was RIDICULOUSLY creamy and amazing. I think it had to do with the fact that a, I added more 4Fiber to it and

b, I let it sit for awhile and let it congeal and thicken. My pudding was so good too!

My weekend friend picked me up around 2pm and our first stop was Walmart where I grabbed 4 Mann's Rainbow Salads, French's Bold'n'Spicy mustard, Vaseline Intensive Therapy (my right hand is so chapped, that when i\I make a fist, the skin on the knuckles cracks and bleeds!) and

Celestial Seasonings Cran Apple Zinger Tea.

We didn't really know what to do next to kill time, so we decided to head over to Lina's Italian Market!

I haven't been here in YEARS! Sorry about the crappy cell pictures! I think the lense was greasy from the Vaseline cream! lol. This place is BIG and has a kitchen/utensil section, and isles of spices, vinegars, oils, canned goods, SPICES& SEASONINGS, SPICES....lol as well as a cafe, deli, fresh cheese bar, gelato, pizza, and cute Italian boys serving you! They sell European food (Polish, Hungarian, Spain, Italy, Croatia etc). I got Italianna Dijon Mustard , and Szeged Hungarian Seasonings that I haven't had in about 5 years!

I got the Fish Rub and the Chicken (amazing- my mom used to buy their Hungarian Paprika all the time!)

In my cupboards...

They closed at 5pm on Sunday's so we were pretty much kicked out.
Since I am of European origin, I was literally having 'reminiscing' moments of nastalgia! A lot of the gingerbreads, neopolitanki, sweets etc were imported from Central East Europe ( where my family originates).
