Yesterday I spent a load more money than I intended to.

We went to Chinatown, hence the $15.38 for the following:

Set of 5 Kitty Chopsticks ($4.99)
A Pound of Pickled Ginger ($1.59)
12 oz. Dried Lotus Root ($1.95)
A Pound of Dried Shitakes ($2.95)
Fresh Ginger Root ($1.00)
Soba Noodles ($1.75)

That's what I remember. We should have bouoght more soba noodles. The lotus root was a superior value. The only thing we couldn't find was dried tofu.

I also bought subway tokens and the Kushi book mentioned below (for $9.38 at Molly's Bookstore in the Italian Market.)
