Last night at the Lomo Alto Whole Foods Market, I found some distinctly different organic arugula. It's in the same old place in produce, but I could tell it was different the minute I saw it: The leaves were big and dark green, and some looked more like dandelion than the spicy green I love so much. This arugula was more like what you get fresh from the garden, with big, peppery flavor. Try it on burgers instead of lettuce.
While I was there, I also picked up The Whole Deal, sort of Whole Foods' version of an advertising flyer (24 pages). Worth checking out: the seven-day dinner planners for one, two and four and for entertaining on a budget. The Mediterranean Deviled Eggs (entertaining/budget), with capers, lemon and a teensy bit of anchovy, sound divine. So does the Blueberry Breakfast Bake, a cross between bread pudding and a fritatta, in the same plan.
There are also several pages of coupons at the center of the booklet. Hey, even WFM shoppers welcome ways to stretch their food dollars.
