Whole Foods

Undeterred by the embarrassment of a salsa-photographing companion, Dad next took me to Whole Foods. We don't have these in Australia and I've always wanted to go to one... and now I want one in my neighborhood now! Wow, gorgeous food. To have all these specialty products under one roof is so fantastic. At home, we have only a small portion of this range, and they are scattered around the city in a handful of small stores.

I especially liked the Arrowhead Mills organic grain products and the Lundberg Family Farm rices. And the cheeses. And the natural cosmetics and creams. And everything.
