I ate a pickle, a stuffed cabbage roll, and a potato knish. (I bought a black and white cookie to take home and eat later.)

I bought a corn crust mushroom pizza.
I bought tofu.
I bought coffee filters.
I bought coffee.
I bought a red onion.
I bought spinach.
I bought sesame crackers.
I bought tortillas.
I bought tofu dogs.

I HEART SUSAN RICE.
