I have a problem...I suppose not really a problem, but a confession. They say never to go grocery shopping when you're hungry b/c you're liable to buy everything in sight b/c you want food NOW. Well, when I'm hungry and I'm in a grocery store I walk out with nothing. I mean nada, zilch, zip, zero. I'm so overwhelmed by the choices and I can never figure out what I'm in the mood for (sweet, savory, salty, chewy, crunchy, smooth, microwaveable, healthy, the litany goes on and on). So then I just wander and wander and just leave b/c it's better to make no choice than the wrong choice (at this point, feel free to think I'm slightly wacky, I would completely understand).
I'm not saying it makes any sense, but that's how I roll when I'm hungry (you should see me try to pick out a birthday card in the card aisle). But when I'm not hungry, man, I can go to town in a grocery store. I can wander for hours and ooh and ahh over all the fun products and buy a little of everything.
Case in point- Whole Foods opened today in Columbia and it was so much fun! Maybe because I can't remember the last time I was in a WF, but there was food to sample, and a beautiful cheese section, and pretty layouts, oh man, I want to go back tomorrow and check out the other aisles!
There was the olive bar and the pasta bar and the salad bar, so much food everywhere! Not that my unemployed self can afford any of the fun stuff, but it's nice to have a place that sells bulk (although Roots in Clarksville does that as well). And when I want to treat myself to something small, it's a great place to find something interesting (although could not find my Maine Root!).

Knew I was getting Indian in about 30 minutes so I resisted the urge to buy some sweets, but these all looked pretty amazing. I did find some Vermont beef jerky (finally got to try it!) and bought some Turkish dried figs. Gobble gobble drool :) I am a happy camper.
*I put dietitian in quotes b/c I can't call myself one yet, but hopefully soon!
