• Jan. 23, 2006 - Today
I made it to Echo Hill (a Mennonite run health food store that is 40
minutes away) and back today. Here is a list of my purchases
wheat for my bread grinder when it arrives
some flour to use in the meantime
yeast
raw honey
stevia drops(thought I would give it a try)
raw sugar
tea tree oil as I would like to make some of my own oinments & toothpaste (I already have some essential lavendar oil).
dutch cocoa that was processed with alkaline...not sure if that was
good or bad and it didnt say it was unsweented, but didnt list sugar
(or "ose) in the list of 2 ingredients. 
baking soda
baking powder (without aluminum)
eucalyptus leaves
hops (I know I saw a recipe that included that, but I cant remember what it is)
rose hips
elderberry flower
licorice root
raw unhulled sesame seeds
raw peanuts
raw wheat germ & sunflower seeds (for my granola, which reminds me that I fogot to pick up some coconut)
raisins
and some yummy farmers cheese.
We then stopped by Burger King on the way home for lunch. 
I will have to make tomorrow my baking days since I went shopping this
morning, I desparately needed some yeast and strongly dislike paying
outrageous prices for the packets.
Made up with my MIL today for forgetting about supper Saturday night (I still dont know where my brain was).
The cat caught another mouse, which my 2yo picked up and put in a
plastic cup. I threw the mouse outside and the cup in the trash
(made sure it was buried).
While I was talking to my MIL, my 2yo found a bottle of refill ink
(which I thought I had put way up), opened it, tasted it, spit it out
(thankfully), spilled a little on the floor and on his shirt.
Well that is my exciting day so far, besides the fact that it is raining and yucky. I think I will go take a nap!

My dh said that one day he's going to turn on the news and see a report about his wife being arrested for following (stalking) a Mennonite Family home after Sunday Service! Ha Ha
