No Pho No "Fresh" Produce

So I tried to go to a Vietnamese Restaurant here called Pho Na and well, it was a wash. I walked in and there was a sign there that said "Credit Cards only if order is more than $15". I thought it was a bunch of bunk, so I took a menu and left. I will only go back when I have some cash because that is like 3 bowls of takeout soup. The guy said there is an ATM next door, but so was my bank, but not where I had cash to take out.

I decided to go to Jewel and get some stuff to make some Pho from my brother's recipe, but I didn't remember everything, but I remembered enough to make something.

I then went to grab some green leaf or some romaine...not in a bag....could not find any! Not really happy, I looked and there were hardly ANY vegetables (leafy stuff) that were not bagged. I was not happy. Mental note, not going to Jewel for produce. Expensive and plasticy.

Then I went to get some meat for dinner.....all in vacuum containers, not shrink wrapped. Probably shipped in from somwhere else.

Why did I label this saving money? This is just a lesson I learned. Go to the farmers market and buy produce and meat without all of the vacuum stuff....it's older and processed more and costs more.....bleh.

I ended up not getting the ground beef, but instead I think I'm going to make something I have in the freezer.

Peace to all!
