Happy Shopping

Some people might think it sad or weird, but I love shopping for food. It makes me happy. So there.

Today I made my way out into the 70mph gales (that part I didn't enjoy quite so much, and I nearly lost my special hat) to traipse down Leith Walk to the Chinese Supermarket.

I haven't been there in a while, and I was out of soy sauce. There are always new things to wonder at, and sometimes, if I'm brave, to try. Here's me bounty...



Soy Sauce

Spinach

Bok Choy

Coconut Milk

Bean Sprouts

Noodles

Garlic Powder

Mild Curry Powder

Pressed Tofu

Preserved Chilli Tofu




All pretty standard Chinese Supermarket fare, and I did in fact get the giant bottle of soy sauce I was after...Hurrah.
The one odd thing I did pick up was the preserved tofu in a jar... I was curious. We shall see how that one turns out.

I also made my way to the green grocer, Tattie Shaws. This is a great little place that still manages to exist in a time of Superstore domination. Here's what I got...



Red leaf lettuce

Beetroot

Corgetts

Egyptian Potatoes

Peppers

Fresh Basil

oh and Purple Sprouting Broccoli - it's in season, and it's lovely

Horray for fresh veg!
