I've been to it loads of times but have never had the decisiveness (or money) to actually buy anything!
I've been stuck in a bit of a food rut recently, so today I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy some vegetables!
I got some ruby chard, simply because I've never tried it before, some purple cauliflower, for the same reason, a head of broccoli, a carrot, some brussel sprouts (haven't tried them in years, I wanted to give them another chance) and a tiny cute little pumpkin, all for €6.
The mixed baby leaves I got in Fallon & Byrne, I love going in there and ogling all the colourful, unusual and expensive vegetables, the only thing I ever buy there are salad leaves because they've a really good selection of them and the company they buy from is based locally to me. The mixed beans I got in the health food shop.
I also got some dates in Holland & Barrett, they've a permanent offer of buy one get one half price on anything in the shop, so I got two 250g bags of dates for €2, which I was well pleased with!
When I got home all my vegetables were cut up (I cut my finger peeling that pumpkin, it better be a damned good pumpkin!) and stored appropriately, mainly in the freezer, only the salad leaves and the carrot went in the fridge.

Obsession Du Jour: listening to vegan podcasts during my frequent long bus journeys. I mainly Veganfreak, but I have downloaded some Vegan Radio ones, which I will get around to listening to very soon.
