I shop at Whole Foods when Jen K comes to visit and I cook for her.

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.
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?
I'm happy to say Madison is finally getting a Trader Joe's. While I like the Whole Foods here, I think Trader Joe's has some stuff that I can't find even at WF. I'm ready for it to happen now, but it looks like a year or so. They have to gut/demolish the old grocery store that used to be in that location. Ah, well, at least it's not another Walgreen's.

We had a big local chain close up all its stores--so I was glad to see WF jump in and fill one of those empty stores up.
I loved Trader Joe's in San Francisco. Sadly, they have no plans to come to Georgia anytime soon.
