The Heaven of Food: Wegmans

Wegmans is the most amazing grocery store I've ever been to, it has everything you could possibly imagine. I don't go in there much knowing how much I could possibly end up spending. There's one right near my new and old work place. I went there after work the other day and only allowed myself to carry around a small basket. I seem to discover something new every time I go there. This time I discovered the organic and herbal aisle they have. They have an entire section of organic energy drinks. It's like everything they have at whole foods plus all the stuff they have at your general grocery store put under one roof. An awesome gift would be a gift certificate for Wegmans. Jason and I would have a ball.

They have so many different selections of fresh fish, cut meat, cheese galore, pre-made salads, and so much more. You can just go there for lunch, grab a tray and have your choice of homemade soups, fresh Chinese food, sushi, fried chicken, gourmet sandwiches, and fresh fruit for desert. Then you can sit in there large food court and enjoy an awesome lunch with your co-workers. The options are endless no matter what isle you are on. Wegmans definitely intimidates me and going in there is scary at times, but it is truly an absolutely glorious mecca for food lovers.

Improv Everywhere

I just discovered a group called Improv Everywhere, they are a musical theatre troupe that performs spontaneous musical performance acts in public places. They've done one in a food court and another one in a grocery store. The one in the grocery store is just awesome, I just love the idea of out-of-the-box art. And these guys are so musically talented and their choreography is spot on. You got to love the different reactions of all the bystanders witnessing their outburst in song and dance, it's priceless. Some people chose to just stand there in complete shock and amazement. While others start grasping the fact that it's just an act and standby enjoying the free performance. Then there are always a few that get mad at the dumb display for interrupting their busy schedules.

I personally really feel more acts like these should be put together and organized. If the act doesn't involve being as talented as these guys are than I would absolutely volunteer. Life is way to short to not allow yourself to stop and smell the flowers every so often, or in this case enjoy a spontaneous art performance.

Hey Crock Pot, You're Awesome.

It's my turn for a crock pot entry. This morning I went to the grocery store to purchase the items I needed for my first pot roast. Got home, cut everything up, put all required ingredients into the pot, including I few of my own twists, and turned it on.

Since I've been out of work I've loved having the time to cook. This time I get to be a witness to this amazing crock pot devise. The smells haven't started yet, but soon they will fill the whole house. When Jason gets home, one of Kate's new creations will be ready for the tasting. It makes me only a little nervous when I muck around with recipes. I really haven't royally messed one up yet, so my confidence that it will turn out great is pretty high.

So little prep work is needed for most crock pot recipes, it is an amazing discovery. Thank you crock pot creator. You are the light of my day and hopefully of my evening as well. I'll let you know how it turns out.
