Molly Bea's

On my way to school this morning, I was absolutely starving because I worked out for about 2 hours and hadn't eaten anything yet (dumb, I know!) So I stopped at the store to get a clif bar, and just happened onto a bag of Asian trail mix with wasabi peas! I can guarantee that you have never seen someone get so excited over a small bag of wasabi peas....but I was overjoyed!

When we lived in Chesterton there was a WONDERFUL little dry ingredient store called Molly Bea's Ingredients and I visited this store several times a week. I loved this place! I would go in and stock up on wasabi peas, pepitas, raw nuts, dried fruits with no sugar or sulfur added, carob chips, carob covered raisins and nuts, salt free tail mixes, and gluten free foods. The great thing about Molly Bea's is that you can buy things in bulk, or you can buy a tiny scoop just to try it out in case you don't really take a liking to it.

I fell in love with the wasabi peas (dried peas coated in wasabi) and pepitas (pumpkin seeds) and also the dried strawberries. Unfortunately in this fat and grease town there is not much of a variety of healthy foods (have I mentioned this before??) so I haven't had any of these things since we moved here. I bought this Asian trail mix and picked out all of the wasabi peas and ate them with my breakfast. I think I counted about 15 peas. Now I'm sad again.

So what is my point, you might be asking, after reading my ranting and raving....my point is this: I would like to see if one of you lovely northern ladies would be willing to go into Molly Bea's and BEG them to put a store in down here. Bribe them if you have to! In the meantime I will be bombarding them with e-mails, phone calls, and letters. Thank you for your assistance in this matter! :) Love ya!
