A disclaimer to start: This is not a food blog. I am slowly working my way through every egullet blog from the dawn of time and I am not brave enough for an attempt!
I have simply run away for the weekend to a beautiful quaint seaside town, and thought I'd share some things I find. To be honest I'm not even planning to cook. But we will have to eat to survive I suppose.
We had a two hour drive after work to the place we had rented and it was straight to the supermarket. We have learnt to pack most essentials (I'm talking olive oil, salt and kitchen towel - nothing like 'camping princess style' much to my shame. I can only dream of being that prepared - and thats in my day to day life!), so we needed to grab something easy for tea/dinner/winesoakerupper. This place is, well, affluent. I love finding things I can't get at home, but then choke a little at the price and put things back on the shelf.
Stone fruit & Melon, Figs & Grapes.
I have never found Miso before, should I buy some? Can I use it low carb?
Never heard of it. I had always thought it was Sir Winston or the industrial revolution. Cheese is better.
Fancy (to me) marinades & vinegars.
I had no desire to taste this 'real broccoli' but I hadn't seen it before.
Didn't want to try these either but I thought of the Smiths topic.
Shopping complete we went to investigate our rental. While we have stayed in the town alot, it was our first time in this particular house.
The kitchen is tempting me to abandon my 'just chill' philosophy for the weekend.
The fridge. Oh the fridge. And the space! I can only dream of having a kitchen like this. And I do. A lot.
Back to reality. The next two pictures are dinner. Do not judge me too harshly - I'm on holiday 
.
Another disclaimer: It is raining cats & dogs, its predicted to do so all weekend. I hope I can find some things food related that may interest one or two of you. If the weather keeps weathering it is unlikely to be fresh seafood.
