Hard Work - A Day in the Life of a Yuppie Trying to Eat Right
Shopping with a conscience is hard work. I first went to the farmers market where I quickly realized that, outside of pork, Eric really cooks all the meat. So the main thing I went there for I found, but didn't buy for fear of not knowing how to cook it. Darn it. Next time. I did buy some nice looking kale I plan on broiling to a yummy tasty crisp with a light covering of olive oil & garlic salt. My mouth waters just thinking about it. Slurrp! (me licking my chops)
Then off to Madison Market, local co-op and conscience-for-people-like-me-too-busy-to-want-to-think-about-it-all. I was, quite frankly, shocked to find that the only grass fed beef they had was in a special freezer off to the side. So much for being my conscience. Good grief. I may as well go to QFC and do my own homework if this is what it's going to be like. Which I did after loading up on Maddy food since E's favorite granola is only sold at QFC but I still do want to support me local co-op.
But before QFC, a quick detour to Cafe Vita for 2 pounds of Seattle's Best Coffee Beans.
Then, finally, to QFC, to buy the granola and a few things I forgot at Maddy's. Criminy it's hard having a conscience and being a snobbie yuppie. Do you think the gas consumed in driving to all the markets offsets the local free-range chicken I bought?
