Grocery Shopping for First-time Vegans

Lori and I went vegan shopping on Monday. We decided to buy ingredients for just a few new recipes to ease our way into this experiment. Frankly, we had never heard of some of the items we were looking for: Seitan and Nutritional Yeast. While I went to grab a few of the items we had heard of, Lori went to ask for some help. As I am walking back over I hear Lori say to the clerk, "My sister is vegan, and she is visiting soon. I'm having some trouble finding some things on her list." To keep from completely cracking up, I quickly changed my direction and noticed the fresh leafy greens on my left. I guess it's official: We are total vegan NOOBS!
