Today was a weird day.
I got to school a little yearly and talked to a couple friends while we were waiting for the class to begin. The subject turned to the Mexican Swine Flu. One girl thinks it is man-made and a result of bio-terrorism. She launched into a big conspiracy theory about it. I didn't pay much attention to the theory but I don't believe it. I think this will pass as long as everyone is cautious and washes their hands properly, etc.
So I went to the grocery store today. I spent a whopping $142! But I went to two stores- Walmart for everything but chicken and salmon and a second store for the chicken and salmon. The salmon cost $20! I wonder if I should start getting that at Walmart. The Walmart near me sells good produce and meats, but the salmon today didn't look great. The second store is a lot more expensive, but their seafood looked more reliable.
I learned a lesson today in reading the product label thoroughly. I wanted to buy avocado for sandwiches but didn't want to buy a whole avocado- I just wanted the inside (does that make sense?). So while looking in the produce section, I saw this container that said "Avocado" so I grabbed it. I got home and discovered that it is Avocado veggie dip. It tastes weird on sandwiches but really good on crackers. I guess I broke even.
I'm going to try a new recipe tonight. It is this:
My online payment to my CC went through just fine. I'm glad I figured out online bill pay. It will become very useful.

Argh. I'm having trouble explaining this.
I didn't want to buy a whole avocado (skin and everything). I want the avocado to put on sandwiches, so I was looking for a container of the inside of the avocado. At sandwich places (at least the ones here), you can request avocado on the sandwich and they scoop it from a container. That is what I am looking for.

Nope, not too worried about the swine flu. There is talk of bio-terrorism, but that is not a fact at this point.
Good luck finding your avocado spread!

And the pizza was delicious! I changed it a little (spaghetti sauce and no red onions), but it was still really, really good.
