This morning I woke to my roommate, Ashley informing me of her tough night in the ER. In doing so she requested a nice tempranillo for when she gets home tonight. So I needed to get wine and a few groceries.
I think it will be a walking day.
Yep, walkin in my flip flops.
My eco-bag.
First thing, Hops n' Vine.
I had no idea it had homebrewing supplies!!! The selection of wine was very decent, not too over the top plus they had a nice variety of craft beers.
I picked up two bottles for Ashley. The tempranillo she wanted plus a shiraz from South Australia.
As I was walking to Ingles I got distracted.
Oh hello homemade ice cream.
Oh you have vegan and sugar free flavors?
Plus an ice cream mosaic?
I think this is a sign that I should stop on in and get some ice cream. A kiddie scoop should be good.
I love their window art!!!
The selections were very creative.
Craggie Antebellum Ale
Spinach Raspberry Swirl
Salted Caramel. I've had this one before and yes it is really, really good. I think my taste buds gravitate towards those salt and sugary combinations :)
I tried a sample of the Lavendar Vanilla with Almond milk. The best way to describe it, you know when you take a taste of something and as soon as you try to savor the flavor, it disappears? I mean disappears before you can identify the flavor? I mean I tasted a touch of lavendar and the rest was very light. Perhaps it's just my preferences, but I don't think this vegan ice cream was my favorite :-/
So I picked the Grasshopper.
Very light mint and with a few oreos.
After I was done devouring my ice cream, I had to run to Ingles. I found a recipe called Beans with Mushrooms, in one of my vegetarian cookbooks. So I needed some mushrooms. Lots of mushrooms.
Here are my purchases, eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, THREE containers of mushrooms, shallots, canola oil and lettuce.
Here's a closer look at the wine I picked up :) The Strong Arms Shiraz has been a favorite of mine for many years. It has that usual Shiraz taste of pepper but then it has a nice medium fruity blend. Ughh I love it and hopefully Ashley will too!!!
