Food-Related Entry

[av8rmike]

I was looking in one of my cupboards for a particular pan the other night when I noticed a strange smell.  It turned out to be a pair of onions I'd forgotten all about, in the back of the cupboard.  Then tonight, I decided to try going to the local Whole Foods instead of the Giant, because the former is closer and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.  I'd never seen so many soy and organic products in my life.  Were it not for the healthier-looking produce, I'd probably never go back there.  They did have frozen Thai and Indian meals, which I thought was pretty cool.  When I got everything home, I opened up the vegetable crisper to discover a few carrots and half a cabbage that had probably been in there six months.

I think I need to spend more time in the kitchen.  And I still don't have anything to make for dinner.

Trader Joe's has frozen Thai and Indian meals, which I love. And they're $2.29 - $2.49 apiece.

I suspect Whole Foods' offerings are a bit more pricey.

Actually, they were on sale, 2/$5.

The Trader Joe's in Towson is a little far from me for casual grocery shopping, unfortunately.

The Whole Foods store at Columbus Circle in Manhattan is enormous, popular, and extremely busy. It has all the organics and health foods you could want, all sorts of fresh items and food bars, plus a huge selection of cheeses, coffee, baked items, meats, etc. It's overwhelming. And I'd definitely shop there if I lived in that part of the city. Most of their stuff is competitively priced and looks too good to pass up.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are both vegetarian paradise. :)
