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.
Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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.
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.
I shop at Whole Foods when Jen K comes to visit and I cook for her.
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.
I'm not allowed to have them.
That is sad.
I have no Trader Joe's, which from the sound of it, is also sad.
And now I'm hungry.
Mm, Farmer's market.
Yeah, I can't complain about access to fruits and vegetables. I'm only a couple of miles from produce nirvana.
Really, if you go there for basics and forget about the really nice and tempting stuff, the prices are not too shabby.
I'm really only there for the cheese samples anyway.
Grocer porn. Why am I not surprised?
