[AGL] Trouble in paradise?

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Whole Foods on 6th & Lamar is just a few blocks from here.
It is a weird new shopping experience: crowded almost always,
more prepared food at many mini-restaurants scattered throughout
the store than there are groceries and produce. Food served on paper
plates and in take-away cardboard boxes. Mountains of
prepared food (hard to believe they could sell all of it before
it goes bad). The prices are sky-high. We buy there in a very
selective manner, just a few items are bargains. One discovery:
they are selling a very large sour-dough bagette of bread (they call it
Rustico) for $2. Unbelievably excellent, like something you might
find in Italy or France. Their 3-liter tin of olive oil, labelled with
their house brand name, is cheaper than what you will find elsewhere.
Bananas at 49 cents a pound is competitively priced. They have
a German trained German sausage meister (Herr Lehman) whose
bratwurst and andouille is not bad and often on sale. Avoid his
mint flavored lamb sausage! Too dry.

On another subject: Happy Birthday Texas, Mike & Pat Holman,
and me!
