Having a half day work only today meant that this afternoon I was able to do the main weekly shop at a leisurely pace, browsing every aisle and taking time to really look at the products. I also chose to go to a different supermarket, a large Morrisons, from my usual one - a small Sainsbury is the closest to me in the village/small town that I live in.
I would like to think that I am not a supermarket snob but I think I would be fibbing just a little! I'm a Waitrose girl at heart and I also like M&S when I need something almost ready to go without having to add to it too much on busy work evenings from time to time. Unfortunately neither have stores very close to me now that I have moved out into the countryside. Mind you my bank manager is probably relieved as previously I used to be able to pop to Waitrose in my lunch break from work and could do M&S "on the way home" (well only a minor detour was needed to make that statement true!) However the Morrison store I went to today was actually quite a pleasant experience and the variety of fresh produce and the fish counter was really quite impressive.
The ramblings and musings of a food fanatic! I am constantly thinking about food in some way; what to cook, what new kitchen gadget can I simply not live without, do I really need another cookery book to add to my existing 500+ collection (silly question!), new ingredients and recipes, interesting foodie topics and events - this blog will be my brain dump of all things culinary to sort the clutter from my head into something more meaningful - well, that's the theory ...
