So...Wait...Where Are You Taking Me??

So one of my circle is gluten free, trying to eat better, and has a family chock full of interesting allergies and dietary business going on. So she says to me...."Wanna go to the Co-op at lunch?"  Uh...never been there. I have heard about it. Never actually experienced it. So what the hell, I'm in! Katherine, who shares a hallway with me, says "Yay!!! Lets go to the Co-op!!" Yay, we're going to the Co-op. So we jump in the Prius, and head to the Co-op...As we are driving I think to myself  "How this has happened to me?" I truly have no idea. I'm Vegan, I'm in a Prius, heading to a Co-op. Just 70-ish short days ago, I was in a cross-over, driving to All-You-Can-Eat-Rib-Night. Oh how things have changed.   I have a picture in my mind of how this is gonna go. I expect to walk through the door to find a ton of expensive organic fruits and veggies, and the smell of patchouli in the air, men in running shorts, and women in Birkenstocks with no make-up on. So...I get there and walk in and...and there is a ton of expensive fruit and veggies, and the smell of patchouli in the air. And the lady in the Birkenstocks asks me if she can help me find anything. So that was nice. I say hello to the nice man in the running shorts, who is eyeing the ridiculously expensive produce. It was a truly interesting experience. They have a ton of vegan items. So, that was cool.  I ended up buying my vegan butter (Earth Balance, I opted for the olive oil one this time), some meatless sausage to put in my spaghetti for dinner, some vegan meatballs, to put into future spaghetti, a box of cereal, after all, there is a chance I will run out soon since there are only 5 boxes of assorted vegan cereals on top of my fridge right at this very moment, and a $4 vegan cookie because no price is too high when it says right there on the package "Vegan, Oatmeal and raisin cookie, with cream fluff filling". Well, hello beautiful! I'm full from lunch, but I will still finish you off, because you are vegan and full of cream fluff filling. Oh, little cookie, I will definitely go back, definitely.
