An avocado gives you 4 grams of protein with a perfect amino acid score

Had to go downtown today, so I stopped at Trader Joe's.

out-of-the-ordinary shopping list

3 avocados
1 lb. of oatmeal
2 lbs. 4 oz. of pancake mix
8 oz. maple syrup
17.5 oz. strawberry preserves
1/2 dozen English muffins
80 Irish breakfast teabags
and
dish soap

total: $27 and change

Avocados are expensive, but they are $1.29 at Trader Joe's and $1.99 at Milk & Honey.

An avocado gives you 4 grams of protein with a perfect amino acid score.

So I grabbed three, figuring I will eat one and Mark will eat one and I will use the other for sandwiches.

Things I can have now that I couldn't have before these groceries:

pancakes (with syrup or jelly)
English muffins (with syrup or jelly)
mushroom scramble on English muffin
an avocado, lettuce, & onion sandwich with mustard
an avocado
a bowl of oatmeal (with or without maple syrup)
iced tea
hot tea

We're out of bread and the stores are closed but I had a mushroom, lettuce, & onion sandwich earlier, will get bread tomorrow, and will have the avocado sandwich for lunch Friday.

Shortly: pancakes

For breakfast tomorrow: English muffin with strawberry jelly, oatmeal

For lunch tomorrow: not sure

Dinner tomorrow: baked potato, steamed asparagus & carrots, miso soup

Breakfast Friday: grapefruit, oatmeal

Lunch Friday: avocado, lettuce, & onion sandwich with mustard

Dinner Friday: pancakes

How's that?
