It seems the older I get, the less I like to venture far from home, which means that my husband does most of the grocery shopping these days. Occasionally, I do like to get out in the sunshine.
Today, I decided to make a Market run. There is just something about the Twain Harte Market that I find warm and inviting. I have a terrible problem though. Each time I enter the store, everything flies out of my head. I can never remember what I was supposed to buy while I’m there. So, I try to remember to shop with a list. It helps.
Have you stopped into the Market recently? The new meat case is very snazzy but I have to admit, I really hate change. I failed to inquire as to the reason for the new case; perhaps the high end meat was being stolen from the case? I’m certain the new case will be more energy efficient, a closed case will hold the temperature better than an open case anyday.
While I think the cases are a wonderful addition to the store, the wonderful small 7 or 8 oz ribeye steaks have been replaced with huge 1 inch think ribeyes that must weigh more than a pound each. For someone who only eats 4 oz. at a sitting, more than a pound of steak is way more than overkill. I do hope they see fit to offer the more petite ribeye steaks in the near future.
If you haven’t been to the Twain Harte Market recently, stop in and check out the meat case. I noticed the seafood case was stuffed full of all sorts of delightful seafood. It seems I can’t shop there without checking out the seafood. It’s my favorite aisle in the store.
