Chocolate Corn Nuts

These large kernels of corn are fried, dipped in chocolate and dusted with cocoa.  You might see these same kernels of deep-fried corn dusted with salt or chili powder at your local convenience store under the name of Corn Nuts or [...]

Guava Soda @ World Market

Bundaberg Guava Sparkling Soda

We’re fans of just about all things guava.  And, we were drawn to the gorgeous pinky peach color of this soda.  We weren’t disappointed.  This is guava in a bottle with a nice bit of fizz.  The one downside?  It is super sweet.  That’s ok.  We’ll [...]

H&F Bread Co. -- Croissant

Le Croissant

H&F Bread Co.’s almond croissant might be our all-time favorite croissant.  But, their plain croissant is mighty tasty, too.

1 Croissant + 1 Piping Hot Cappuccino = The Perfect Breakfast

H&F Bread Co.

Penzeys Spices

You can’t beat a store full of freshly stocked herbs and spices.  From Aleppo to TienTsin, there’s a hot pepper here for you.  Or, would you like something a bit more exotic like ajwain seeds, epazote, galangal, kala jeera, sumac or mahlab?

Holiday season is right around the corner.  That’s [...]

Alon's Bagels

Everything Bagel

Loaded with…. everything!

We tend to neglect the bagels at Alon’s.  But, they deserve better.  There’s a gorgeous deep golden exterior that has a nice crunch.  The insides are tender, chewy and full of flavor.  Slice it open and add a schmear of triple creme brie.  Now, [...]

Kombucha

Multi-Green Kombucha

It looks a bit like New York City sewer water might after the Zombie Apocalypse.  But, after a sip or two it’s oddly addictive and “interesting”.  There’s a seriously sharp, vinegary bite.  And, there’s quite a bit of harsh IN YOUR FACE (and tickle your nose) super-carbonation that [...]

H&F Bread Co. -- Pretzel Rolls

Pretzel Rolls

These beautiful pretzel rolls are formed into mini baguette shapes (AKA mini ficelle).  And, they couldn’t be more perfect in freshness, flavor, or texture.  Though, we might appreciate a touch less salt.  But, that’s an easy fix.  We simply brush off the excess with our fingers.  Very simple.

Duck Eggs @ Dunwoody Green Market

Duck Eggs By The Dozen

Duck eggs… each egg is gorgeously unique in size, shape and color.  Aren’t they lovely?  Garmon Family Farms offers duck eggs for sale by the dozen ($6 a dozen) at the Dunwoody Green Market.  They might skip a week here and there.  But, Garmon Family [...]

Pine Street Market's Applewood Smoked Bacon

Applewood Smoked Bacon

The rich, sweet yet smoky taste of this bacon is out of this world good.

Applewood Smoked Bacon in front, End Scraps in back

That little package of bacon ends in the back was an absolute bargain at $3.  It’s the perfect size [...]

Saffron Rock Candy & Tea

Saffron Rock Candy & Tea

This will make a lovely accompaniment to this weekend’s morning tea… or coffee.

Earl Grey & Cardamom Sugar Crystals

Many of the teas are “buy one get one free”.  So, we did.  Also, we happily grabbed a bag of cardamom sugar [...]
