I've always had an attraction to nice grocery stores. There's something just so amazing about neatly stacked fruits and vegetables. Or when the store goes the extra mile to actually mist the veggie section. Added thunder to the mist hikes up my enjoyment oh so much. I like an artful wine section. Food samples are always a bonus. Wine and Cheese tasting -- so great. So I make it my duty to check out new grocery stores. My favorites? Harry Teeter & Whole Foods. Trader Joes is ok too -- but it's fairly small and they don't really get new selections....
The new Whole Foods on Duke street is a Palace of Organic products. They have IT ALL! Fresh fruit slices for taste testing. I'll have two please! They even have a egg buffet! Like 10 different types of eggs (free range of course) and you get a little basket and pick your own eggs! The wine section is not THE BEST but it's complete. I prefer a wine section that is not like an ordinary grocery store isle -- they should jazz thier wine section up a tad. This storehas a fresh salad buffet, which I love, and a BREAKFAST buffet. A pizzeria. A dining area. Fresh fish placed perfectly atop beautiful mounds of ice. Every shelf is in the store is full as if there's a Whole Foods employee replacing the item as you go along and shop! How DO they do that? All the shelved items are all facing forward like little imperishable soldiers. It's amazing. The cosmetics section is loaded with high priced eye cream, wrinkle cream, hand cream and diaper rash creme! The shampoo section is enormous -- score!
I'm thinking that this new Whole Foods might turn in to my weekly lunch spot.
Go there and get the Tomato Bisque - it's to die for!
Tonight Eric and i are going shopping for a car CD player. On top of every other item that's gone wrong with my car in the last year -- my CD player crapped out on me. I don't know if it was hours and hours of listening to books on tape on it. Or if it had just lived it's life and pooped out of natural causes. Either way -- I have to buy a new one. I must have SOMETHING to play my new Will Hoge CD on. I'm debating on getting a Sirius Radio ready CD player...I shall keep you posted.

In this college town that I live in, we have a Martin's, and their store is so appealing! They have a little cafe in there, a seafood bar and a salad bar. They have all types of meat as well on the seafood bar. But everything is so easy to find in that store.
It's much better than going to a WalMart. I don't like Walmart only because of the massive amounts of people, and the clumsy way they park and drive. There's another less populated Walmart 13 miles from where I live, so I prefer to go there. Much less crowded!!!
