Denise,

 

are you OK after all the storms/tornadoes we had? I hope so--it

sounds like they were towards your neck of the woods. it looks like a

few towns were fairly leveled but didn't know how far they were from

you. take care and hope you and your family are safe : )....

---Denise,

 

it's a balmy 1 degree right now here : ). we had a total of 9 "

snow and it is SO COLD : ). New Pioneer Coop not bad at all. the

bulk section and produce section were by far the best. the rest of

the store was kind of disappointing--it didn't have much of what I

was looking for. they had a poorer selection of vegan stuff than our

little store much closer to home. they did have a good selection of

organic imported dairy cheeses though. thankfully the organic meat

section was more to the back of the store--separate from obvious

veggie stuff. downside is it's next to deli so if you pick up a

sandwich from there--hold your nose : ). deli though has FANTASTIC

sandwiches-both vegan and veg. the jalapeno-cashew spread is worth

driving for : ).

I may check out their other location on South VanBuren street next

time I go down--I went to the Coralville location and it looked like

it catered more to " yuppies " --no offense to any here : ). I had

visited the one on South VanBuren many years ago and had more of a

college-town-feel which I am more comfortable with : ). overall it's

not bad : ). it's $60 for a membership but you can shop without one

and pay an extra 5% on your stuff which is nice if you don't go very

often : ). it was fun to stand in front of TONS of bulk bins--it

felt like being a kid in a candy store : ). kids were enthralled

with them and the produce section : ). the funniest was Jacob

couldn't believe there was " grass " (wheatgrass) growing in the

refrigerator there and had to loudly announce it for all to hear.

the vegan carob chips were by far my best deal at 2.49 a bag. they

are over $5/bag here. their bulk prices are good--if you know what

you want I might be able to remember some prices : ). take care : ).

off to make Potato-Cheese Snowballs and " Popcorn Chicken " (seitan)

with baked beans for supper--kids are starving..........

I know a coworker from Scotland brought one in and I ran away from it. Really

creeped me out. I didn't remember which animal it came from but I didn't want

any part of it.

Thanks Denise,

Donna

Traditional Haggis is definitely the insides of things, usually

sheep/lamb or deer, but chicken isn't any part of it.
