After church today we decided to take the clan to our natural food grocery store to pick up a few "nutritional" items that my grocery store didn't carry, and some great sushi for lunch (this place has fantastic sushi...even papa nothing loves it). One of the items on the list was "nutritional yeast" WTH is nutritional yeast? To me, it sounds kind of scary and "earthy". I ask the guy at the supplement counter, thinking it must be some sort of supplement. This guy has no idea and then parades us around the store on our mission to find this elusive nutritional yeast. Finally, as we are talking about it some customer tells us it is in the bulk grain section. We go to the grain section, and there it is...on the bottom shelf. I open the bin, and staring back at me is this brown flaky stuff. My son asks me "Is that dog food mom?" Hmmm...possibly, I think to myself. I have no clue what this is used for, so, let's hope it tastes better than it looks!
In case you are curious, I did find out exactly what it is used for. It is an inactive yeast that has a nutty flavor and it used in many vegetarian dishes because it is similar to cheese when sprinkled on foods or added in sauces or stir fry.
Before we left church today, one of the ladies had brought in some fresh lemons...so I took a small handful. My motto for the day: When life (or a friend) gives you lemons...EAT THEM! : )
