Kale Chips

Good to know. Went to the PF Giant last night.......strike 1! Figured I'd try Nick's but now that I know Target has it, I'll get it there because I need to go there tomorrow anyway.

I still haven't gotten up to the Whole Foods since they moved from the other shopping center. Is it a lot bigger than the old one was?

I never went to the old one, this was my first time going to any Whole Foods. It is a very nice (and good sized) store. My wife says it's a larger store than the old one. To me, it felt a little like going into a Wegmans.

So today I was in Annapolis (went into Whole Foods for the first time, and Sur La Table), and lo and behold, right across the street from me is a Target. So I walked in and went to the spice section. Sure enough, they had it. So I bought one, haven't tried it yet though.

The parking lots are under the stores there, and they have these special escalators just for shopping carts. Never seen those before.

Good! I think it tastes good on anything savory - my husband puts it on pretty much everything. My step brother and I agree that it's a must-have in any tomato based sauce (like spaghetti or chili). My favorite use is to sprinkle a little on zucchini, then sautee in olive oil. Although I could eat zucchini every day (and sometimes I do ) without getting tired of it.

Thanks, I love Wegmans. I used to live in NY and we had 3 Wegmans within 15 miles. Miss those stores but I like Whole Foods too. I just can't seem to get up to Annapolis as often as I'd like to.

Spaghetti sauce, huh? I'm making some stuffed shells later this week, I'll have to try that out. We like our foods with a little bit of a kick.

I opened it and we each had a little taste of it, very good. Has a little heat, and salty (a little Old Bay-ish and Adobe-ish, but yet different from both of them). I can see why people like it to season different foods. Looking forward to trying it in a dish soon.

The other night on Top Chef they had a challenge where they had to cook for 100 people using only things found in a Target store. One of the contestants used what I assume was Tony Chachere's (the container looked the same, but the label was blurred out) and the judges reamed her for it.

I saw that, poor Tiffany. I think Target sponsored them to get some good advertising, but I think it kinda back fired. There were a few comments about how they didn't have any good food to work with.

I agree. Target has a lot of processed food and very little fresh. And I thought it was really stupid that they had to get everything, including heat sources, at Target. It really seemed to take away from the point of the show, which is cooking. The food on Top Chef isn't really supposed to be accessible. I love watching them make things I've never heard of. And then Dale wins with grilled cheese and tomato soup?

I know! It's Top Chef, not Project Runway! Do you remember a few years ago when they had to go door to door raiding people's pantries for food? Same thing.

Was Dale's soup canned? If so, that's awful that he won! And he used a stupid iron!
