Whole Foods for lunch

[jmc_bks]

I love shopping at Whole Foods periodically, even if some of their products are ridiculously expensive. In my kitchen is a tin of whole, pitted dates that I can pop open and feast upon. And I bought a beautifully ripe avocado -- the last couple have been brown and rubbery. And best of all, Brown Cow cream top yogurt. Chocolate is my favorite flavor, although I'll be trying maple later this week -- I felt experimental while standing in front of the dairy case. I'm sure the cream and the chocolate do away with any benefit gained by consuming yogurt. But still. I can say I had yogurt and a banana for lunch, which sounds better than saying I had a Big Mac or KFC or some other fast food.

Avo question -- do you need a knife to slice yours? I just cut it in half, then pop out the seed/pit, then scoop out the flesh. But I've had two people lately tell me that they bought avo peelers. Should I be using a gadget for this instead of my handy-dandy utility knife and the soup spoon?

Every time I think of Whole Foods, I think of Bookseller Chick when she called it Whole Paycheck in one post. It's so true. But then they do have good food.

Can't help with the avocado question. Can't stand 'em.

Love Whole Foods. LOVE it.

And you don't need a fancy tool for avocados -- that's a "we want your money" gimmick, IMO.
