Our First Farmer's Market and our Last Good-bye to Past Living

Please scroll down to the bottom to read from our very first post. =-]

Today marks the start of a brand new way of living! We are eager, ready, and excited. Today has been a very eventful day. First, Nina and I went to our first farmer's market today! Hooray! We were blown away by the wide array of produce available to buy.

The farmer's market at the Northridge Fashion Center:

Guess what we bought? Ready?
- four Fuji apples, one lb. of peanuts, one onion, twelve potatoes, four honey sticks, one head of lettuce, one celery (branch?), three containers of strawberries, a loaf of organic cheese bread, one red bell pepper, seven avocados (the guy threw in a few extra), organic salsa, and thirty-six cactus tortillas.



All for only roughly $30 dollars! We were definitely surprised at the little amount of money we ended up spending. As per the rules we have set up for ourselves, we will only eat this food. For example, tomorrow Nina is going to have strawberries for breakfast, an awesome salad (lettuce, green onions, bell pepper, avocado, and more) for lunch, and a combined dinner with Brian of an avocado, lettuce, bell pepper sandwich on cheese bread. Yum!

So, in proper fashion, we had to say good-bye to our past lifestyle. What better place to do that than Outback. After a hearty blooming onion,
We chowed down on a very nice chocolate cake (no picture provided, but I'm sure you can use your imagination on this one). Our last farewell was almost finished. But we needed to say good-bye to one last friend. Our white chocolate mocha and java chip frappaccino have never tasted so good. Your frothy coolness and sweet texture will be greatly missed.

Please join us on our journey from processed foods, factory farm meat, antibiotic laded and genetically engineered produce, and other farmer exploited foods to local, farmer supported, natural, healthy food. It will be fun. It will be difficult. You can be with us every step of the way! =]
