Made a quick jaunt to Whole Foods this morning as we were out of milk (and more importantly half-n-half for coffee) and whey powder for breakfast shakes.

I haven't been there in ages, and I was quite pleased to find...

1) Large outdoor bin full of LOCAL vegetables (!)

2) Local foods CLEARLY LABELED as such in their appropriate areas, such as my much-beloved garlic paprika jack made by Kenny's Farmhouse Cheeses in Barren County, Kentucky.

3) Large endcap display of local-ish foodstuffs, including the awesome chipotle garlic jelly from Rattlesnake Hill Farm in Kentucky and Ole Ray's apple/cinnamon barbeque sauce from Ohio - my favoritest BBQ sauce ever, by the way.

4) A big can of my precious Konriko brand no-MSG Greek Seasoning. No more running out until I can get to a Publix in Georgia! Wheeeee!

5) A new brand of coffee called Raven's Brew. It ain't local (Washington state) but I couldn't resist the artwork. Yeah, I'm a packaging whore. Anyhow, I picked up the organic Deadman's Reach and I'm sipping it now. Dark but surprisingly mild. I'm gonna go back and get the Three-Peckered Billy Goat now that I've read the descriptions on their website. Good stuff!

Lavash and hummus for lunch! Woot!
