I *love* our supermarket. I picked up some cardamon seeds today. Not seedpods, not ground cardamon - just the seeds.

Of course, the evaporated goat milk only comes in 12 oz cans, and I need 5 ounces, as Lizziey may recall. *blush*

So, when we were in California I paid a teeny bit of attention in the supermarket. The supermarket was superficially huge - wide aisles, and more of them - but upon closer inspection they had less stuff. Or less of the sort of stuff I'm willing to get. I mean, they had an aisle and a half for water (and given their crappy water out there, I don't blame them), but... they had no beets! No kale! No eggplant! You could cook from your produce aisle, but nothing very interesting.

I'm sure other stores out there have more choices, but it was very frustrating.

Stores do vary widely. Plus California is a big state, so I'm sure it has a lot of variation from region to region.

I'm not sure whether San Deigo is any different from what we have up here, but there's a reason I only shop at Trader Joe's and the Farmer's Market. And in the winters we're limited to TJs vegetables, ugh.

Make two bunches of fudge, and use the remaining 2 ounces in some oatmeal. Problem solved! :)

I didn't even know anyone made evaporated goat's milk!
