I love asaragus! Yes, my pee smells weird after I eat almost half the batch each time I make it. Even if you just eat 3 or 4 stalks it will smell different. FYI.baychef said:YES...feet...and not the freshly bathed kind either!!! I will have to look for that brand. It says in Season's Best that we can sub. Camembert cheese for the Brie. Is that less "feety"?!?! I love most cheese...in fact, my arteries will turn into 100% cheese someday soon. Limberger is the only other cheese I just can't get past the nose!
And ivykeep...we have a consultant that refers to aspargus as aspara-gross!!
In small doses, I can eat it. I guess it makes your pee smell if you eat too much of it. That is sad...since I never really thought pee smelled good to begin with!!!
Hopefully, no one is eating while they read this...my apologies!
chefann said:Hey, Becky D! Wish you had come shopping with us. We had a blast, and discovered a new product on their shelves: Dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt. YUM! They're sweet and salty and crunchy.
But you do have a Penzey's Spices in GR that you can head to. It's on 28th Street. That's a fun store to spend some time in. And they usually have a kids corner with crayons and paper to keep the little ones busy while the adults shop.
JAE said:I didn't mind Becky's DS. He's very sweet. We will have to plan a day trip to Trader Joes and Whole Foods to meet up with Ann and anyone else available. That would be fun.
ChefBeckyD said:Okay - don't laugh, but I had never heard it called "three buck chuck".....and I thought you were referring to $3 Chuck Roast, or possibly ground chuck.....and I was thinking to myself..."hmmm, that's not such a great deal".
I'd love to come over and spend a day shopping at TJ's and Whole Foods......we have nothing like either of those over here. In the GR area, you can choose between - Meijers, Family Fare, and D&W.......the last 2 both being local chains who are also Spartan Stores.......so their ads look pretty much the same.
Probably for most people this isn't a big deal.....but my favorite kind of shopping is Grocery Shopping!!! I LOVE Grocery Stores, and I want OPTIONS!!! (And I don't consider Wal-Mart an option - won't shop there!)
Anyway - I would be all over those dark chocolate cashews, and frozen artichoke hearts - oh man I want some of those!
PamperChefCarol said:OMG... I have found my soul mate!!! I ADORE grocery shopping. Anywhere for anything!
If you are ever near Ann Arbor, Michigan, call me and we will have some fun! I know all the good places!!
Teresa Lynn said:Sorry, I didn't make my post clear... we eat brie all the time I wondered where Linda found it for that great price!! It freezes well so I stock up when I get a good deal on it.
My 14 YO daughter cuts it in cubes wraps it in crescent roll pieces and bakes it in the MMP
whenever I buy crescent rolls she and one of her brothers fight over them she thinks they are ONLY for her brie bites and he thinks they are for pigs in a blanket!!
ChefBeckyD said:Usually people look at me funny when I tell them I love to grocery shop!
Carol - that is what we are hoping to do - take a road trip one day to your area and go shopping! I'd have to bring coolers though!
PamperChefCarol said:I am considering hiring myself out as personal grocery shopper! I can't believe the number of people I run into who say they hate it. Then again, I am totally obsessed with food.
ChefBeckyD said:That is so funny - because I have seriously tried to think of a way that I could grocery shop as a service for people!
When my friend Michelle was sick w/ cancer - I would get a list from her and do her grocery shopping every week - loved doing it!
Whenever friends are dealing with sick kids etc.....I always volunteer to go to the grocery store for them!
I actually have friends who call me because they can't find something in the store - and I just guide them to it over the phone!
I am totally passionate (not obsessed haha) about food too! I'm surprised I don't weigh 1000 lbs! But it's not just the eating I love - I love the process of cooking, I love the history of food, I love the social aspect of food (FOOD is the universal language!), I love textures and smells........I just love food!
Carol, you could put the groceries on a dedicated charge card, and present the receipt to the client, who would then write you a check, including your hourly fee.PamperChefCarol said:Charge $15/hour. Haven't quite figured out how the paying of the groceries is going to work.
Who knows if I will actually get around to doing it, but it's a thought.

I think this is a great idea!
I like browsing grocery stores, but I hate having to do "real" grocery shopping. Probably because by the time I get around to it, we're down to the really weird things in the pantry and I have to buy EVERYTHING.
No, that's your pantry.raebates said:Like groundhog?
Been there, done that! Reminds me of the Simpson's episode when Marge is going through cupboards looking for items to donate and keeps finding jars of pickled beets and cans of pumpkin. (I love pickled beets, though.)raebates said:They will take those carrots at the local food bank. That gets them out of your pantry (making room for more chocolate cake), and gives you the good feeling you get for donating.
Hmmmm, maybe I should be glad I didn't make it Sat! While you were stocking up on upscale junk food - I was at the Farmers Market buying fresh corn on the cob, blueberries, peaches, peppers & baby red potatoes. From your list (which all sounds yummy!) I can just imagine how upscale my pantry would be right now!chefann said:mmm.... Pringles and Pop Tarts....
My junk food is only upscale right now because I went to Trader Joe's on Saturday and stocked up. What's funny is that DH tends not to like the fancy things (his favorite is crunchy Chee-tos), but when I unpacked the bag, he snatched up the PBPretzels and opened it immediately.
chefann said:But, Becky! I also picked up a bag of frozen artichoke hearts! And some salsa verde (to make the Tex Mex Chicken and Rice Skillet). And some tortillas (Mediterranean Quesadillas and Enchilada Casserole).
And I noticed when we were there that TJ's had Plugra - European style butter. It's got a higher butterfat percentage than American butter, so it makes richer desserts and sauces. I almost picked up a pound. But I figure I'll wait a month or so until I start doing holiday baking.
chefann said:No, that's your pantry.
Things that taken separately are OK, but can't come up with a meal using them all together. Like: canned carrots (I have no idea how those ended up in the pantry, BTW, because I hate canned carrots), a jar of Spanish olives, and a chocolate cake mix.
The Tangy Pepper Pacen Brie Recipe takes only 15 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook, making it a quick and easy option for any occasion.
