I hope this is allowed here.

I'm planning on making a trip to an Asian supermarket this week (there isn't one that close to me, and I'm in a not very diverse part of Spain). I want to know what things I should be looking out for. I've been to a few in the UK but I always get so overwhelmed with how much there is and all the packaging that I always panic and stick to the same stuff.

I'm definitely going to grab some Silken tofu as I have never seen that anywhere else, so I want to try cooking that, and I'll get regular tofu too. But what else do you recommend?

I've seen people mention tofu sheets before, so maybe I'll look out for them, although I don't know what I'd make with them yet, but is there anything else you recommend and are there any recipes you can recommend too?

EDITED TO ADD: Wow guys thank you all so much for these amazing suggestions, really, I wouldn't have had a clue what to look for. I'm really excited to see how much of this I can get my hands on. Thanks again everyone!

So, my partner came home unexpectedly with some junk food - I had a little bit, as I was peckish, and my mind still hasn't caught up with my stomach. My brain still thinks about food all the time, and craves food that my stomach doesn't want.

So I had a bit, I had some fries and some garlic bread, not much, and nowhere near the amount that I used to eat. I ate slowly and stopped when I was full, but really, I shouldn't have eaten it at all because now my stomach feels so heavy and achey.

I'm wondering, when did other people find that their mind caught up with their stomach?

Since day 2 I have really noticed how full I feel and how much less food I have eaten. All the food I've had until this evening has been healthy & nutritious, and I've noticed being full for hours. But, the food noise still goes on, and I'm having a bit of a struggle differentiating between food noise / cravings / habit / appetite / hunger, so I'm just curious to see if other people experienced this delay in their mind/cravings catching up with their stomach

It's been a while since we last shared some Yenny Girl updates. She's got her sockies back on today for the first time in months while her paw oil soaks in, she's not best pleased.

Lady Cuk making sure everything is in order and as it should be 🧽🫧

Cuk (17) if anyone asks, I'm fast asleep and definitely don't need to go out for a walk 👀

Cuk (17) Still so naughty and cheeky but you would never believe it. 1 kidney, deaf, almost completely blind and runs around like a mountain goat. We started her on librela this week and she's already feeling better - god help us! 😂 Not enough words for how much we love this little ❤️🐾

Coming home to Yenny Girl is the best, especially when she's feeling wiggly ❤️🥰🐾

Yenny Girl suffering once again from food related amnesia. She knows her way around perfectly, she knows where her steppies are, but the second there's a chance of a snackie, she can't concentrate on anything else 🙈❤️

Happy international blind dog day to Yenny Girl and all her fellow shipmates 🏴‍☠️🦜🪎

Lil princess Cuk (17yo). Our naughty, sweet, hilarious, cheeky little monkey. We are so lucky to still have her and her shenanigans each day ❤️🐾

Yesterday we took Cuk (17 years old) to the vet for an anti-inflammatory as she was having some back pain. This was her today ready for dinner....

My pumpkin plant is finally bearing fruit!

This was my favorite thing in the world as a kid in the late 90s. I took him in the bath with me and i was forced to throw him out after. Can we find him?

Found loads of vegan goodies at the asian supermarket girl dinner

Any vegan staples (preferably protein sources) I should get from an Asian supermarket?
