Come to Highland one day I will really make you laugh about that woman. Simone had his final inspection today for the shop.

Good! I heard there were some contractor problems and that's why it hadn't opened when planned .. or when re-planned

I can't wait to try this stuff out.

I didn't realize you work there. I thought you meant you were a regular visitor. I'll come by sometime when I'm not broke (next week)

I am the mayor of Chimes St silly. Cubbies can have the dog park.


ETA: his freebies last week were so beautiful(I don't give that phraseology out lightly) tasting it made the knees buckle. That was a handful, and he plans on 64 flavors.

I go for s few specialty items that only WF and Fresh Market have, but I also go to Calandro's for the same reason. The WF aisles are claustrophobia inducing tight, but it is fun to buy stuff unavailable in most places.

If you know your prices you can avoid the rip-offs, the bulk items are the best buys in the store. Last trip I bought a sample of most of the fresh sausages, they looked pretty good, they were mostly pretty dry and tasteless.

Whole Foods might have the worst sausage on the planet.

One has to know where to get thier food from based upon the need to feed(Cajuns live to eat kind of thing), and in the modern world it may require a trip in a car that takes many miles. My trips in STL on Saturday consisted of about forty miles of driving. Veggies and other stuff at one spot, seafood(markets that make me cry over what is availible in BR), actually one place to go to for certain meats(andoullie), and breads. Zach only thinks he has it hard. Starbucks, gym, cheeseless wife are toys play.

Concur. Lack of fat makes them useless.

We've been to parties where the menu was:
Green bean casserole with cheese.
Broccoli rice with cheese.
Pasta/Meat casserole with cheese.
Green salad with grated cheese already sprinkled on top.
Cheesecake for dessert.


I have a theory. People who drown food in cheese or cream sauce are just covering up their lack of cooking talent.

I liked the old location better. It was more of a neighborhood store. The new one is more corporate like the rest of the WF. And it may be bigger, but the aisles are still too narrow and there are too many freestanding displays clogging up whatever open space is left. I'm constantly banging into stuff.


Do you ever shop at Jimmy's? It's awesome, although the aisles are narrow. Local produce and great meats.

What? I'm there every other week buying sausage for get togethers. I love the variety WF has, and everyone that eats it always has good things to say.

No its a restaurant I would say is between Houston's because the food is consistent and service is good and say Cheesecake Factory because the portions are huge. They have regular chicken tenders and sandwiches etc.

They are always packed here in East Tennessee always a wait. They never ever advertise anywhere so their prices for food are reasonable.
