Organic buying guide

I know these lists have been posted elsewhere but if you are anything like me you forget it not long afterwards so in an attempt to remember them and at least remember where the list is I'm adding it here. I've copied the lists from Gluten Free Vegan Blog.

Mr T and I lately though have been buying almost all organic food from the vic market and it hasn't been that expensive. Around $60 a week which includes fruit, veg, grains (quinoa, couscous, rice etc), nuts, and snacks and often a bulk purchase like Mr T's latest pack of 12 cans of baked beans. Considering most people say they spend around $75-$100 a week on groceries and Mr T eats more food than anyone I've ever met I think that's pretty good.

The top foods you should buy organic because they have the greatest levels of pesticide residue - are:

1. Peaches
2. Apples
3. Capsicum
4. Celery
5. Nectarines
6. Strawberries
7. Cherries
8. Pears
9. Grapes
10. Spinach
11. Lettuce
12. Potatoes

The top foods to buy conventional if you can’t get all organic food. These are the conventional foods with the least amount of pesticide residue are (starting with the cleanest):

1. Onions
2. Avocados
3. Sweet corn
4. Pineapple
5. Mangoes
6. Asparagus
7. Sweet peas
8. Kiwi fruit
9. Banana
10. Cabbage
11. Broccoli
12. Papaya

Ok its official

I depend on the internet a little too much. I haven't been reading Harry Potter the whole time. I finished almost a week ago, I thought it was the best one yet in case you were wondering. Shortly afterwards though my internet went down. It's been a little under a week without internet connection and it drove me crazy.

No blogging, no reading blogs, no facebook (except for a tiny bit at work), less personal email time (I did check at work).

But worst than that I actually had to dust off my yellowpages to look for phone numbers, and to check class times I actually had to call and ask and I felt like all the burning questions that I could have found with google just had to wait.

It drove me crazy!

Now I'm off too catch up on blog reading. Will blog properly soon I promise.

I may not post for a little while, at least until I finish the latest harry potter book.

You win, you lose some

I found a car and if all goes to plan tomorrow I will pick it up tomorrow evening. It's Mr T and I's first massive purchase together. It's scary stuff buying a car, thankfully it will be all over soon.

I decided to go for a bit of a change and cut my hair. Big, big, big mistake. I have the haircut of a 50 year old women, it's a longish bob. Its is by the far the worst look on me ever!
