prosodicJust went out on a shopping trip. Had to pick up stuff for the potluck tomorrow.
I went to Grocery Outlet because I usually have good luck with finding interesting cheeses there. And they had some: Danish bleu and goat cheese. Not quite what I was looking for. And probably not made with pasteurized cheese.
I finally just got a block of high quality sharp cheddar, some pepper jack, Alouette spinach & artichoke spread, crackers, roasted eggplant hummus, and assorted marinated olives. That, along with the spicy Indian party mix that I already had here at home, should make a pretty decent spread tomorrow.
So...not quite what I had in mind, but you know, I saved a lot more money by shopping there than I would've if I had gone somewhere else. The price of groceries here is insane, and I know I said that before. Grocery Outlet is amazing and you get all this brand name stuff there, as well as some gourmet foods and some off brand stuff, and it's all very inexpensive.
I picked up a couple pints of Ben & Jerry's while I was there too.
So...I'm all set for tomorrow. I already sliced up the cheese and packed up everything except what needs to be refrigerated. So I have all day tomorrow to hang out here and work before I have to head out.

Date: 2009-06-25 03:46 pm (UTC)It's set back a bit from the road.
The first time I went in there, I thought it would be like an Aldi's and have nothing but off-brand stuff, but they have a lot of brand name stuff. I wouldn't do my regular shopping there, since their product selection is constantly changing, but I go in there quite a bit to find cheese, since they always have an interesting selection.
