Oh honey no. You wanna come with next time I hit the farmer's market or one of the big bulk stores we get things from? It'll blow your mind. Well, the farmer's market might not, because I imagine you had something similar back home, but the warehouse store might.

PLEASE - we went to an actual grocery store this weekend just to treat my sister that was visitin (and send her home with treats for the kids) but I’d love that!

DARCY.

COSTCO FIELD TRIP?
(wegmans field trip? Whole foods field trip? shit, also the import market, that might be a little much though)

xp_wildchild xp_darcy If y'all take me on a food shoppin field trip I am gonna cook for you so best let me know now if there's any dietary restrictions

[xp_wildchild]

I've gotta list but mostly it's restaurant food and chocolate. My gut hates processed food.

Good news for you is that I grew up on a subsistence farm. It's still weird to me that I don't know that folks that raised the pig for my bacon. I'm great with unprocessed food.

This is why we have chickens for eggs too. (have you met the girls? Audrey doesn't like her legs to dangle but otherwise she's a cuddler, fyi, she will get in your flannel or hoodie in the winter and try to get warm. We heat the coop, she's just That Bird)

I've heard about the chickens but ain't seen 'em yet. I'll have to visit and take pictures to send to my littlest sister who's in charge of our chickens back home!

Oh you're gonna love the farmer's market here. It's a little scant in winter (lot of jams and fresh canning, less fresh fruit and veg because not much grows this cold), but it's wonderful from about March-October.

[xp_cannonball]

I've honestly been lookin' into gettin' my own canning supplies for up here so that sounds great!

[xp_darcy]

My gran would love you. We have an alpaca farm, and we did a fair bit of gardening to supplement when I was growing up.

I’ve also thought about gettin my fishin license here so I could make a real fish fry but that’s a project for later

[xp_darcy]

Oh no, how terrible, someone is gonna cook for me!

I don't eat a lot of pork and I don't eat extremely spicy. So no pork chops, but if whatever you decide on normally has some bacon or a ham hock for flavor that's fine.

[xp_cannonball]

Got it! I'm most lookin' forward to experimentin here. Got access to stuff I ain't ever seen nor heard of. It's exciting!

Costco or BJ's, Wegmans, and that local butcher in town so Sam'll at least know who is processing the meat, even if he doesn't know the farmer directly.
