two new obsessions

i just can't believe how exciting and educational my evening has been.

i had so many new experiences and discoveries almost as soon as i left work.

by far my greatest discovery today was the fact that the new whole foods blocks from my office gives out free samples on wednesday nights. the samples were amazing, i could have easily eaten dinner there without spending a cent. i noshed on organic salad with cucumbers and tomotoes and feta cheese, steamed broccoli and asparagus, corn on the cob, apples and caramel sauce and rhubarb and strawberry pie.

so as i plot to visit whole foods every wednesday until this free food bonanza comes to an end, i also learned two fun facts about shopping there. first, they sell trial size cheese blocks, for about $1 each. for the uninitiated, whole foods has an incredible selection of cheese that are sold by the pound. there are individually wrapped blocks for sale that are at the least $5 each. but why would you buy a whole big block if you don't know if you even like the cheese? these individual blocks are great!

and my second great find was the fact that if you bring your own bag to whole foods, they take 10 cents off your final bill.

after returning home, i turned on my tv to find a new obsession. so you think you can dance is a reality show that i missed in its first season, but after watching two back to back episodes tonight, i am happily hooked. dancing is fun to watch. and the contestants on this show are so passionate and talented. its a new summer obession i think.

and right now i'm drooling over a very sepcial episode of another favorite show, top chef. i can't wait for the new season to start! summer tv, i am so ready for you.
