New wife tip #1.....if your live in a town with a Whole Foods and don't feel like making dinner...purchase dinner from your local Whole Foods. Throw it in the oven at your house and your husband be praising your home cooking skills!!!!!
So you may be asking yourself why I'm so excited about new wife tip #1....well with new wife tip #1 came a wonderful secret about the BEST store on the planet....Whole Foods. And guess what...a Whole Foods is opening in my town TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipppeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not been this excited for a long time. I don't think my hour long lunch will be enough to enjoy all of the Whole Foods, so I am sure I will go back at least 2 other times today. It is wonderful that this store is opening!!!!
There are many people in Santa Cruz that are die hard new leaf shoppers and for people that are local to the area....I understand. For thoes of me as an "import" of sorts the Whole Foods Store is something I've known my entire life. I grew up with Whole Foods being a stones throw away from my house. With it's wonderful pre-made foods, great salad bar, amazing yummy soups and all around great shopping environment, I know if you go to Whole Foods, you will not be disappointed. Now don't get me wrong....Whole Foods might be the Walmart of Organic foods (as Thomas, Therea's husband like to call it) but I know the quality of the products is superb. I grew up with the Berkeley Bowl being one of the most local home grown stores you could think of. The location was odd...there was never any parking and you could always smell the produce then you were walking through it. Being 5 or 6, I was just thinking of how much I wish the store looked like Safeway or Whole Foods because there was no nice person behind a bakery counter to give me a cookie. Now in my late 20's (oh god, how depressing....30 is right around the corner) the Berkeley Bowl has a new location but there is still no parking....the place is even more packed than I remember. It looks more like a regular grocery store but with many specialty items. The prepared foods section is amazing and the fresh fish is to die for. I still go to whole foods in Berkeley for my pro-biotic all of the yummy baked goods and their prepared foods. I love their eco-friendly paper products and somehow the milk there is just better. I'm hoping with the opening of Whole Foods a stones throw away from my home in Santa Cruz, I will feel much more at home here.
Now after returning from whole foods....WOW that place is a zoo!!!! When the newness wears off....it will be wonderful!!!!!! Yippeee!!!!!! Back to eating my sammy.
