A new health food shop has opened in my city. Same people who had one which closed down about a year ago. They stock a good range of hemp/pea/soy protein.

 

Also a lot of things like vegan cheeses (it's basically plastic I swear down), smoked tofu ect. It's just so expensive...may try a s bag of pea protein, not holding much hope for taste mind. Most important they stock zest & their vegan pesto's...literally this is pure sex in a jar, boom.

I have to agree there - most of the vegan cheeses I've tried either taste like I've melted one of my son's toys or have nearly no flavor at all. I'm OK with the no flavor variety, as it just adds substance to whatever I put it in. My wife found one mock Mozzarella that was OK. If I remember to ask her I'll post the brand. Personally I could care less about the cheese, but one of the reasons my wife's not vegan yet is that she doesn't want to give up cheese so she tries to find substitutes but to no avail.

Yeah, training is going really well. My wifes' cousins cousin is racing in the Womans triathlon tonight (check out the last post in my log to see who she is lol), so will be an exciting night of shouting and cheering at the TV with all of her family. I think she's going to do well, if she's off the bike fast and one of the first onto the run she should be locked in for a medal. I've had access to her training, and she's running a shade over 30mins for the 10km (same speed as the men). She is one of the fastest runners in the race and I think a lot of the girls aren't expecting her newly found speed. I know she's spent a lot of time getting a faster sprint as well in case it comes down to that.

Sounds awesome! Fair play! In all honesty I've not watched a second of the Olympics, that's pretty bad!

 

My dad is getting to goto the paralympics! He's staying in the village & will get a couple of nights there & he'll see the basket ball. Going as the supermarket he works for sponsors the para's.
