Jackson and Wesley -dinner at Whole Foods
I have to take a moment to brag on my husband. Hands down, I believe he is the best hubby out there! There are many reasons that I would grant him "World's Best", but tonight, I will focus on one. He not only puts up with my infatuation with cooking- I subscribe to two food magazines; have more cookbooks than even I care to admit; am obsessed with all things Rachel-Ray; and have an weird love for grocery stores - but he also encourages me to explore this hobby.
Take for instance tonight: He heard that one of the Ys in town was doing a special field trip to Trader Joe's (a farmer's market type store). He knew I would love learning about the different and unusual foods they had there so he arranged for all three of us to tag along! It was so much fun!
A trained chef went around the store with the group to introduce ways to cook with new, unusual ingredients. It was all quite fainting. I enjoyed the tour of the store but was more interested in purchasing a few tasty treats! Rachel Ray had voted Trader Joe's hummus the "Best All Around" so I had to find and purchase a container of that!
After the tour of Trader Joe's was finished, I asked Wesley if we could stop into Whole Foods, another large, upscale fresh market. He was all for it and pushed Jackson around for almost an hour while we looked at all the produce and meats. Everything looked so fresh and I would have loved to take home one of everything!
Though we only ended up leaving with a few pieces of produce, I had the greatest time. I know Wesley strongly dislikes going to the grocery store, but he never once complained. Since these stores are a few miles away from our house, I never get out to them and he wanted me to enjoy our little tour. He even commented that it would be fun to go back!
Thanks, Wesley, for indulging me in my hobby tonight. You know I love to cook, but even more I love to just be with you and Jackson!!
Jackson enjoyed the tour too! Actually, I think he just enjoyed the samples
"Give me another piece of Grapefruit, please!"
