general observations about food

dchenesI'm discovering that now that I can get good (and varied) food reliably, I'm going slightly insane with it. I went to the Brookline farmers' market and Trader Joe's (and the walk up to Brookline was quite nice, actually) and came home with more food than I intended to, but it's all good stuff. I didn't buy anything chocolate, which is a major departure from the usual. I admit that's mostly due to the price of almonds lately; I think the almond crop somewhere must have been a disaster. I'm not buying a pound of chocolate-covered almonds for almost $7, thank you. A lot of what I bought at Trader Joe's was indulgences, but at least it's not the kind of indulgences I have to walk five miles to balance out. I think tonight calls for pasta salad with chicken sausage and tomatoes and basil in it.
It's interesting what some people consider staple food, and other people don't. I have no flour and no rice in the house, and I'd buy rice before I bought flour. I also have no honey and no peanut butter. I don't miss them because I don't like peanut butter very much (unless it's got chocolate around it) and the only thing I use honey for is in yogurt milkshakes, which I haven't made lately. Living by myself in Ohio definitely changed the way I eat; I wonder how living by myself in Boston will change it?
