Key Limes!

Fact: on February 16, 2009 I found double-fist sized bags of little Key Limes at WinCo. WinCo you are wonderful. Why? These little mesh bags of imported exotic pygmy fruit cost $.68 in toto. Who says you can't eat like a gourmet?



To top that, I found a bag of 8 Kiwis for $.98 - and they're delicious! For breakfast, cut them in half and eat the inside with a spoon. Amaanda taught me that in Prague.



How do you store your potatoes? Mine go in a big bowl on my kitchen shelf. Oh dear, my cookbooks are showing.

Cara Cara Pink Oranges. Look like oranges on the outside, grapefruit on the inside and taste like oranges on the inside AND outside!

Found these at a good ol' WinCo and I must say they are delicious.

Have I ever told you my tip for picking produce? Smell the fruit. It should be fragrant and smell with certainty like an orange, grapefruit, etc. This works great for melons, too. Be prepared for some weird looks.

Gives New Meaning to Rear-End Collision

Over at Femina, Rachel has a great post in praise of grocery fun at WinCo (Stands for "Winning Company" in case you're wondering).

Which reminds me that I love grocery shopping too and that's where many of my adventures happen.

Take Monday, for example. As you all know it was Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, and apparently all the college students celebrate their day off by heading to the Grocery. I found myself in rush hour traffic down the produce aisle.

Well, I was breezing past the citrus section, pondering the price of lemons as opposed to the limes and not paying nearly enough attention to the front end of my cart. Confident my stash of lemons was holding out nicely and I didn't really need more, I once again gave my attention to the cart traffic - just in time to watch myself run my cart right into the behind of a poor, unsupecting college guy in front of me. He was in the "lean" category and my collision was enough to launch him forward with an audible "Whoaah" and ram the person in front of him!

Whoops!
