Grocery list - for dinners this week I need portobellos, edamame, greek yogurt, and feta cheese.  For breakfasts we need OJ, and we'll also need to replace our pantry hold of stock and flours.  Shrimp is on sale at Meijer this week, so I'll pick up a couple of those packages for the freezer. 

Something that you might notice is forever missing from our grocery list is coffee, and you can bet your bottom dollar that's not because we don't drink it.  Actually, we buy our coffee whole bean in bulk from Borders, because we only buy Seattle's Best, Henry's Blend, and for a while that was the only place we could find it whole bean (in fact, for a while there we coudln't seem to find it whole bean anywhere in Michigan and were importing it through our very accomodating friends, Steve and Rachel).  Even though now it is available in other locations, we feel loyal to the one place that served us well all these years and we keep going back.  Well, that and the fact that if you buy a pound of coffee on Fridays you get a free drink, and Jon is always careful to time coffee shopping just right...
