Cashewgurt & Numista

The last several days or weeks have totally gotten away from me!  I knew for the last 5 or 6 days I wanted to post something but other things kept popping up!

Finally, as I get back into the swing of things and posting again I thought I would share a couple of things with you starting with this Cashewgurt!  Hillary has mentioned it on her blog a couple times or more and I was so excited I finally found it in my region!  Problem is - because I didn't blog about it right away - I can't remember if I found it at Wegman's in Lakewood or Buffalo Whole Foods!

Regardless, here are the two flavors I found and tried.  I enjoyed both of them.  I think the Strawberry was sweeter but I think the Blueberry was more intriguing.

The most important thing I want to mention here is the texture!  This has the best texture I have tasted to date when it comes to vegan yogurt alternatives!  It's not gritty or mealy or grainy.  It's completely smooth.  I do think it was a bit on the thin side but I would gladly have that over the goofy texture if you know what I mean!

In other news...

I know I have been blabbing about the virtual flags I have been collecting on my flag counter widget but over the last week I went 'dumpster diving' thru my old boxes of memories and found my Foreign Coins from over 20+ years ago!  They are from when I had over 120+ pen pals from around the world.  A few of them swapped low value coins with me.

I decided to finally catalog what I had which ended up being about 90 coins from 26 countries!  I used a site called Numista and it's a wealth of info - that is for sure!

2 Friday Finds!

I didn't plan on grocery shopping when I went out today but there were two things I couldn't pass up!  The first one was this Veggemo Milk.  I had not seen it around 'these parts' yet so when I saw it was vegan and made from Peas, Potato, and Tapioca I was intrigued!  From what I read online the texture is supposed to be similar to 2% Milk.  Not that I was really looking for that, but still.

The other item I couldn't pass up were Alyssa's Healthy Vegan Bites.  These are another new-to-me-product.  They were REALLY expensive but I figured I wasn't buying all that much and it would be my treat for the week.  You only get 6 small cookies in the package and I believe they were priced at $4.99.  As for the Veggemo the price was right in line with Almond Breeze Brand.  Oh!  I opted for the unsweetened one, by the way!  Have you had either of these items?  What are your thoughts?

I also thought I would take this time to welcome my newest visitors from Comoros, Iceland, Belarus, and Cocos (Keeling) Islands!  Thanks for stopping by!  I'm researching recipes from your regions and hope to veganize some of them soon!

I have 3 more books to share with you in the near future, too, but I wanted to give you more than 'just books' to see here on my blog this week.
