I was reading a blog on the Philly Post today about Whole Foods, and how the author was never particularly excited to walk into the store and shell out large amounts of money for organic cheese and soy milk. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, mostly because I have the same aversion towards the chain and whenever I can meet another person like me it gives me a false sense of security. It's not me. It's the aisles of wheat grass and ground chia seeds. Okay, I know I'm irrational. I don't go to Shop Rite because I think the parking lot is too small, but I know that walking through Whole Foods makes me hate myself.
I used to go to one particular Whole Foods where around noon I couldn't find a non-employee that didn't have yoga pants on. Should grocery shopping make you feel this way? Should you want to change your pants before you walk in? I don't think that's healthy.
I have problems with grocery stores in general. My main issue is that I can never just walk out of the store with what I came in for. But that's a common problem. (On a side note, I'm celebrating a week without going to Target!) As I was thinking about Whole Foods today I started thinking about my shopping experiences in general. I always write myself a grocery list, but come out of the store with double what was on it. Am I trying to trick myself into thinking this will be an inexpensive trip? It's like I walk in the door and sensible Danielle goes off to look at Redbox movies. I turn into some kind of Supermarket Sweep contestant, what the hell's wrong with me.
The next time I go to the grocery store, I'm picking up the ingredients for these: Potato Chip Cookies Drizzled with Chocolate. Whatttttt. They sound amazing! Every once in a while I scroll through internet lists of the best cookies ever, and these appeared a few times. From the blog, Canadian Baker Too, these cookies have just 5 ingredients and end up tasting like shortbread. The past few recipes I've posted have been pretty involved, but these sound like a breeze.
Consensus? I'll try anything that calls for potato chips.
UPDATE: Just made these, they are excellent!

wow...potato chip cookies??dts unique idea
The super-market can be a scary place... I hate going alone. We just saw a movie called "Food inc." and read "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan, now working on reading "The Unhealthy Truth" by Robyn O'Brien. Food industry and shopping are taking on a new perspective for me. Just try to avoid soy in all its various forms, as if your extremely allergic to it, on one trip. =)
