Lesson 56: Vegetarians eat dirt cheap.

After a hard day of studying I decided to begin a new experiment that I will proceed to execute during my time here in Spain. The objective of my experiment is to cook every recipe in my vegetarian cook book possible. The first victim for tonight was Fajitas! I read through my book, writing down everything I would need, and then headed for the grocery store before it closed. I then spent the next half hour walking around the grocery store, list in hand, looking like a lost child. However, as soon as I got the groove of bagging fruit, weighing, and printing a sticker, I became a produce bagging MACHINE! I was grabbing everything and having a blast, I even started grabbing things I wasn't sure I needed. One consequence of that being that I now have a red pepper in the fridge and a huge zucchini that I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with. After a while my bag began to grow heavy with all of my groceries and I began to worry that I had possibly bought too much. I was determined to exceed 25 euros since our grocery store give you a free gift if you bought more than 25 euros worth. I found this out after I won a loaf of bread on my first visit, and a had a very confused conversation with the cashier about why she was putting an extra loaf of bread into my bags. In the end I only spent 19 euros and have plenty left over after my Fajita adventure! The most expensive thing on my grocery list was hot sauce, something that I can't live without.

My Fajitas consisted of broccoli, zucchini, onions, and corn. It was delicious and I made enough to have some left over for tomorrow! Yummy! Here are some pictures of me and my creation.
