when moms get bored- they go shopping.

i thought it would be funny to tell my kids we were having OCTOPUS for dinner.

(i know, i'm hilarious)

They are some of the pickiest kids around, i'm sure it something i've done wrong.

so they didn't try it, but they played with it.

the suckers don't still suction after the tentacle is cut off.

we're sending it to show and tell tomorrow, it was worth 4 bucks.

I made them try the Jackfruit.

it kinda tastes like pineapple only milder.

the label says it has no vitamins in it so i didn't really get the purpose of it. OR it could just be that the chinese people writing the label skipped the nutritional part BECAUSE on the bottom of the label it say- THIS FOOD GOOD AND HAS VITAMIN.

that label alone was worth the trip to this new Asian market on Dobson south of Main! It also would've helped if i knew a little chinese b/c the employees didn't know English.

i did find some good stuff to fit into my super healthy diet.....

Peral barley powder and rice flour- its a good source of protein and a little sweet so it works well in my smoothies. Its dang expensive online at the raw food sites but i got it for $2 a pound!

mussles & scallops & dried shrimp- excellant low cal protein sources. only $3 a pound or less.

there were SO MANY kinds of fish there at good prices- you can even get them with there heads still on.

A few new types of vegis- chinese broccoli. the rest of the packages just say "wrapped produce" on them, they were green so i bought them and steamed them, not bad- mushrooms were delicious too.

If your getting bored with your current healthy selections try some new ethnic food!
