Asian Farm Dissapoints, Whole Foods Good.

Got up somewhat early today and walked to the bank and then to Asian Farm to get Ian some fruit since the usual grocery store was a bit disappointing this week. It was about 9 AM and although they are supposedly open 24 hours, there was not a cashier in sight so I ditched the fruit and left.

They didn't seem to have very good deals on the fruit, no asian pears, no cheap pineapples. Also, there little outside tent didn't seem to be heated (aside from open doors to main building) and alot of the product seemed to be frozen.

On the way home from curling, I stopped by Whole Foods Market. It is the mother of organic/healthy/upscale grocery store chains. It is quite expensive, but really nice with lots of samples, weird vegetarian cooking related items, great bread, take-out, home-made sauces, soups etc. Ian and I went to one in NYC with a line-up basically circling the whole store. Yep, it's that good. Even better, for those gas guzzling types out there, they validate parking if you spend $25.

Still no readers, very, very sad. It's time to branch out big J into your own gig. I think this Kuon guy is dragging down the quality of the whole operation. Love your big sis
