Friday online shopping report: I just got I, Claudius, Apollo 13, and 101 Dalmatians from Amazon. IC was only $37, so I had to buy it, and the other two were because I was weak and they were cheap.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I'm making dinner. I really need to go grocery shopping and have practically no food here, so dinner is multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic. Possibly some nutritional yeast, too. (Mix nutritional yeast with something salty or vinegary, and you get a cheesy flavor. It's deeply weird.)
(I actually do have some carrots and lentils and split peas, and could make soup. Or I could make some seitan, since I've got some wheat gluten. But both of those would take time and require slicing vegetables, which I don't feel like doing tonight.)

Is this TJ's by any chance? If so, how is it?

I used to love putting nutritional yeast on pop corn. Mmm mmm.

Yep, it's the TJ's, and very good. Absolutely the best flax-seed pasta I've had, and one of the best whole-grain ones. (The best whole-grain one, IMO, is the Bionaturae, with the Safeway house brand a close second. This isn't quite as good as those, but still yum. Flax-seed pasta tastes a bit different than regular pasta, so you've got to think about the sauces a bit -- I think it would taste kind of weird with marinara, but it's good with something less tomato-ey, and fabulous with something a little earthier, like a sauce with balsamic vinegar or a peanut sauce. Basically, the flax seed gives it a slightly nutty taste, so you've got to take that into consideration.)

My diet has been sadly lacking in actual vegetables lately. I've been getting in maybe two vegetable servings a day. (Today, I think I had just one -- some spinach empanadas for lunch.) I've got no fresh veggies, because nothing at the grocery store lately has looked remotely appetizing. I hate winter. I think I've got some frozen haricots verts. I could heat those up with some sesame oil or something, I guess.
