food porn for laura.

(this entry is for laura, sam, teri & the other foodlovers i know. <3)

guh. the co-op is my salvation. my boxes were finally delivered this morning & i immediately unpacked all my kitchen things first, then took myself to the co-op to start stocking the pantry. it is gorgeous there. bulk rice in every variety you could think of, the cheapest most beautiful organic vegetables i have ever seen, a million kinds of soymilk, lemongrass, quinoa, 8 kinds of mushrooms, at least ten kinds of flour, milled cane sugar, huge granny smith apples, bulk pasta bins lining one wall. it is bright & clean & spacious. i want to eat the whole store.

tonight's dinner: soba noodles with creamy mushroom-leek sauce, & braised baby bok choy. dessert is a rice dream mocha pie. i have a kitchen again. i have a bed to sleep on tonight. i could not be happier.
