~ Where you shop for groceries.... Trader Joe's
What is very good about it? Friendly people, bargains on interesting food items, good quality, very reasonable wine prices. It's fun to shop there because you never know what you'll find.
What is not good about it? It's a quirky food retailer, not a full service grocery store with a wide selection of merchandise. So don't look for common items like Tide, zip lock bags, Tylenol, styling mousse or cling wrap.
Some products come and go, so you try something new, love it and go back for more only to find they've stopped carrying it.
And it can be insanely busy with long lines at the cash register.
What would you change about it, if you could? I wish they still sold King Arthur flour and Hansen's Diet Cola
~ You have just received a brand new Crock*Pot (slow cooker). What will you put in it to try and make your first Crock*Pot creation? I have absolutely no clue! When I owned a crock pot years ago, I had no luck with it and ended up giving it to my mother. The meat would cook, but the vegetables would still be rock-hard.
~ A good bean: Cannellini
~A crappy bean: No such thing! I love all beans.
~ The last thing that you stirred was: Espresso
~ 'I have a very hard time trying to concentrate when': Long-winded people are taking forever to get to the point.

~ Free bottle of cooking/salad oil for you today! What kind would you like? Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
~ You have to eat your greens or you can't leave the table! What kind of greens will you eat? Just about anything you can name, but I'm not a big fan of kale, chicory or mustard greens.
~ Two frozen foods that you would eat: Amy's frozen vegetarian pot pies (any variety)
Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken
~ What have you ever bought from a 'food truck'? Nothing recently, but I saw a very entertaining movie called Chef about a restaurant cook who loses his job but then buys a food truck and creates a sensation with his Cuban sandwiches.
~ You are writing a poem/song of sorts...what word will you choose that sort of rhymes with "elephants"? "Why, I'd wrap him up in cellaphant!" -- Bert Lahr as The Cowardly Lion
What is very good about it? We use thee different places. The primary one is a tribal owned grocery store. Rather give our money to them than walmart.
What is not good about it? It's an hour away.
What would you change about it, if you could? Nothing. They have a frybread store next to it!
~ You have just received a brand new Crock*Pot (slow cooker). What will you put in it to try and make your first Crock*Pot creation? Meat. A great big hunk of meat.

~ You have to eat your greens or you can't leave the table! What kind of greens will you eat? I will sit here for awhile. I don't like greens. But if I HAD to, I would say some spinach with a dash of vinegar.

Where you shop for groceries.... My regular, on my way home grocery store is Giant--but I love when I can get to Wegman's or Trader Joe's.
What is very good about it? Giant--good Customer Service. Wegman's-has everything you could possible want along with great Customer Service. Trader Joe's--hipster, love trying their little samples meals they have in the back in the store along with their sample coffee (their k-cups are the only ones I use now). I love googling "best things to buy at Trader Joe's--they have quite a following.
What is not good about it? They just replaced our old Giant with a new huge Giant--it is just too big now, and the dim lighting I do not care for. Wegman's and Trader Joe's is not convenient for me to get to--both out of the way for me.
What would you change about it, if you could? Giant--go back to the smaller store and the bright lighting. TJ's and Wegman's--build one that is on my way home from work! And for TJ's--would be great if the liquor laws changed in my state for them to carry their wine.

~ You have just received a brand new Crock*Pot (slow cooker). What will you put in it to try and make your first Crock*Pot creation? I am using it today to make a version of Salsa Chicken. Throw some chicken in, a jar of salsa, a packet of taco mix, cut up celery, onions, green peppers, carrots, and a can of black beans. Cook for short time and shred up chicken when done.

What is not good about it? Shopping at four stores about an hours drive from my house. It's a once a month trip.
What would you change about it, if you could? I COULD just not shop at all four stores, but I've turned into my mother. (Ahhh!) I wish one store would carry everything I want & have good prices.

**** Okay, dear people...have a very nice Fryday and remember to eat well this weekend or whenever you can! **** The cooler days of autumn will be here soon! Noooooo! I'm still enjoying summer!
Second & hopefully last day in court today. Finally it will be over.
~ Where you shop for groceries.... - Usually not at commercial stores. I like the Greenbelt CO-OP or Mom's Organic Market in the next city over - College Park. Both are awesome.
What is very good about it? - Both are unique, clean, and free of those self-service checkout lines.
They are staffed by real people who need jobs.
What is not good about it? - N/A
What would you change about it, if you could? - Longer hours at the CO-OP's food bar. They only have lunch hours and IMO keep their food out about 2-3 hours too long. I rarely purchase from that department but I would if that and other changes were made.
A few employees at MOM's Organic Market seem to have bad attitudes. It didn't used to be that way.
~ You have just received a brand new Crock*Pot (slow cooker). What will you put in it to try and make your first Crock*Pot creation? - N/A. I would give it away. I cook for one person and it's extremely rare I ever have leftovers.
~ A good bean: - Lima, Hi KP!
~A crappy bean: - - Hmmmm. Okay, spicy black.
~ The last thing that you stirred was: - - Sauteed mushrooms and garlic - 2 days ago.
Oh, brown sugar and raisins in my oatmeal yesterday morning.
~ 'I have a very hard time trying to concentrate when': it's too hot.
My job has inadequate A/C when it gets real hot due to it's building design. There are plans to fix in the next 2 years but I hope I am out of there before then.
Saturday through Monday it's supposed to be 100 degrees with the heat index going near 110 (37 / 43 Celsius).
~ Name 3 states that you think it would be nice to live out in the boonies in: - IDK. I only know city life...
Okay - VT, NH, CA.
~ Free bottle of cooking/salad oil for you today! What kind would you like? - A high quality olive oil makes a big difference...
~ You have to eat your greens or you can't leave the table! What kind of greens will you eat? - I'm happy with the 3 I rotate, always fresh. In order- broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green or yellow string beans. I always eat all I cook.
~ Two frozen foods that you would eat: - Most of Amy's I tried are good. Some selections from Tandoor Chef and Trader Joe's too. Rarely have as I prefer fresh.
~ What have you ever bought from a 'food truck'? - The last time was 3 years ago - a bottle of Perrier.
It's a mile away. I kind of like shopping, so much that I go there 3 times/week. I am the king of the 12 items or less checkout lane
What is not good about it?
It is a bit limited
What would you change about it, if you could?
They don't sell lamb chops, no demand apparently.
~ You have just received a brand new Crock*Pot (slow cooker). What will you put in it to try and make your first Crock*Pot creation?
Pot roast. I make a kick ass pot roast. Fill an onion with cloves, it makes a big difference

Limabean of course

Made a quick sloppy job, had to stir in the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar
