I am a bit obsessed with all things domestic. Grocery shopping is
quite an experience these days.
Trader Joes- Pelligrino Water, brown jasmine rice, and ginger
Whole Foods-fresh meat, produce, fage greek yogurt
Farmers Market-berries, flowers, jam
Little Tokyo markets-Okinawa Sweet Potatoes
Gelsons-when I feel like having someone else put the cart contents on the belt
Did I really need to add any more to the list?
I ventured to two new grocery stores this week in Los Angeles. Tesco,
the British grocer, has expanded all over Southern California and
plans for more are coming together. Stateside, it is called Fresh and
Easy and it is just that. They offer pre-packaged fresh foods,
typically organic and healthy in single serving portions as well as
well-priced grocery necessities from standard brands. I visited the
Eagle Rock location.
simple and chic packaging defines most of the Fresh and Easy housebrand products….
Whole Foods has opened their largest retail store West of the Rockies in Pasadena.
I was in the area to attend the book signing for Nigella Lawson. I just
had to check it out. Admist the overwhelming mass of organic consumers
They have a tapas lounge, sushi bar, massage room, and a nice open two-floor plan.
