I didn't say that I resisted the shiny new foods. That's why I don't go to Whole Foods very often. I'm the person going, "Ooh, heirloom tomatoes! Oh, look! Chocolate-covered ginger."
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'll wander good grocery stores for fun. When I was in NYC, Trudy took me through one in Grand Central Station and let me walk amongst the shiny. Bliss.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Chocolate-covered ginger."
Your Whole Foods lets you do that?
Right on.

I love Whole Foods special fancy almonds (the real name of which I'm blanking on). They're skinless and extra salty and I can go through a container of them in under 10 minutes.
They also have a really good chocolate selection. And, as Cash has discovered, cheese galore. Mmmmmm. And I also like their butcher counter--applewood smoked bacon is teh yum.

I like their 365 coffee. It's quite good and no more expensive than other grocery stores or specialty coffee shops. So far, the Whole Foods here is the only place I've found fresh figs. I'll go way out of my way for fresh figs.

The Marcona almonds. You can also find them in the nut section of Trader Joe's...
I'm not allowed to have them.

I go to WF primarily for their meat, till I can find something more local.

Thrive to spite them
Ginger took me to the DeKalb Farmer's Market when I was visiting her.
Oh my god. It had everything. Purple beans, two kinds of baby bok choy, all kinds of exotic chocolates and dried fruits. Multiple kinds of flavored dried cranberries. More kinds of greens than I could shake a stick out. Huge long stalks of lemon grass. Zipper peas and pink eyes. Pretty looking figs (which I never had so I still haven't had a fig).
Live crabs, live trout. So many different kinds of cheese. I swear I never knew there were that many out there.
Perfect little key limes, better than what I can find here. It was just amazing.

That is sad.
I have no Trader Joe's, which from the sound of it, is also sad.
And now I'm hungry.
