So it turns out that I am a bit sick - not a great week to start a new chapter. But nevertheless I am going to try to be good. Yesterday my roommate and I made a trek to the farmer's market. Oh my goodness I spent so much money and got some amazing stuff!!
Such great looking organic strawberries, asian pears, nectarines
and also green beans, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, lots of mixed greens, and tomatoes So last night I made a tofu stir fry with some veggies, and tonight I grilled up some and threw it over an amazing blend of mixed greens (random greens I would never buy unless at the farmer's market - which is awesome) and added some tomato and oil/balsamic - so delicious!!
Of course today wasn't all good. I bought a parfait at school - granola and yogurt and fruit - none of which was organic and I have no idea what the actual ingredients are.
For lunch all I wanted was PB&J - to make it better I used honey and asian pear instead of J. The bread though - I noticed has a ton of ingredients that I don't understand. And the peanut butter - although organic contained sugar! what?! isn't it supposed to be peanuts and salt?? where does this sugar come from? But I ate it anyway.
So, not the best start - but Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

Loco for Local!
Oh USF, good for you for getting on the bandwagon. Even if that bandwagon is 10 x more expensive than the farmer's market!! So, USF has started selling fresh local produce at the cafeteria! Crazy! Also stupidly expensive. Though they know that the students don't care much about cost, mom and dad pay for the money on their id cards, so the kids just swipe away! They also have certain meals that are made from produce grown within a certain amount of miles. I have yet to try it, but good for you for trying to minimize your carbon footprint! So I move into my new place this weekend! So stoked. Can't wait for fresh produce from farmer's markets! And tofu, oh I have missed just eating tofu out of its box with soy sauce. I know - weird. I got use to making great delicious mostly organic stir fry and sandwiches before going to school, but now I have gotten used to take out and frozen foods. Ugh!
Today's bus ride, besides crazy (some old homeless people were fighting and yelling...oh SF...) went through a farmer's market. Had I not just been to the gym and starving I would've gotten off to peruse the selection. I am sure there have to be some better markets in SF than the one I went to, which has NO organic! craziness...this is SF people!! Live up to your green, hippie rep!
Off to do some homework.
ugh
