VEG, VEG, VEG
Where do you buy your produce? Whole Foods? Farmer's Market (store)? Smiths? Do you often say to yourself, "organic - who cares?!". Just curious. I recently "found" a new place to buy tons of cheap veg, and they are better quality than any place OTHER than Whole Foods or the co-op.
B Riley Fresh Herbs, a mere 5 minutes from where I work on Copper just east of Juan Tabo. They have been a well-known supplier of herbs to many local groceries, but I had no freakin' clue that they also sell a full line of dried herbs, dried goods like pasta & beans & chiles, and a huge list of actual produce. I visited the store the first time about 2 weeks ago, and since then I've been back twice, each time leaving with a bushel of various green things for about $20.
Oh, and did I mention the dried chiles? More kinds than Mark Miller mentions in his Salsa book, and that's a ton. The last time I was in unfortunately they did not have fresh thai chiles, but that's how the fresh stuff is - you just buy the best of what they have that week and its always great.
So of course for pre-lunch I had a horse-grain-bucket-sized salad, primarily mixed baby greens with some green bell peppers and sliced almonds, and a basic viniagrette. It should be about another 10 minutes before that settles and I'll be ready for lunch.
