I'm a mad mad grocery shopper! I love to get fresh food, but I also love lots of other things. I have a nice big pantry, but I don't keep a vast oversupply of stuff onhand, probably because I like to shop and to plan meals only a day in advance, or even just a few hours before I do the cooking. I like to pick the nicest fruit and vegetables I can find, the best-looking meat, or fish that's on sale (usually that's because it's freshest and most abundant, and indeed I'm devastated by what's happened in the Gulf). Is the weather nice? I can get something to barbecue. Is it cold and rainy? I'll make a stew. But let me to to the store and decide just in time.
So I've been posting on my favorite markets.
Whole Foods:
The Ann Arbor Farmers Market:
The Produce Station:
Trader Joe's:
and Hiller's -- I'm flattered that Lydia has included my choice to kick off her market series: see
The Perfect Pantry for July 10, 2010.
What great markets you have! I must visit Ann Arbor one of these days. Thanks for being #1 in the new Market to Pantry series.
