Honeybun on the cob! Yum.

I worked a bit more than usual this past week (also--one day on, one day off, which is not ideal). And sure enough, even one extra shift and I see the dishes start to creep back, which makes cooking harder, etc. Hence my goal to remain part-time for life!

But I'm still keeping up with my homemade food (last night: chick pea sandwich spread, beans and rice in the slow cooker, and banana cake), and recycling, and trying to stay off the corn grid.

I didn't buy my favourite Snapple drink when at work (made of corn) or make Crystal Light (made of corn), but have been drinking Red Zinger tea instead.

I managed to avoid buying any honeybuns. This is the *treat* I like to get when at work, from the store next door. I've long suspected it's mostly made of petroleum, but I suppose corn and soy, two of the most subsidized US products, is more likely...

[In Bold: possible corn or soy ingredients]

enriched wheat flour, water, palm oil, sugar, yeast, dextrose, mono/diglycerides, calcium carbonate, salt, soy flour, agar, baking powder, extract of annatto and turmeric, cinnamon, ethoxylated monoglycerides, diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono/diglycerides, soy lecithin, dried honey, soybean oil, flavours (??so mysterious), calcium sulphate, calcium iodate, calcium propionate, sodium propionate, potassium sorbate

As far as veganism goes, I've never been 100% off the honey (though I'm close to that now) but... well I never would have suspected that dried honey is more than... dried honey. It's a processed ingredient, and usually has corn syrup added to it. That is hilarious. That is tooo much. [Source: The National Honey Board.]
