Party for One

July 24, 2012 by Mitt

So I had a party for one recently. My husband worked a double shift and it was 100 degrees outside so I drove 40 miles to Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s and did some serious shopping. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are favorite stores of mine, but since they are so far away, I really only get there every 3 months or so. When I do go, I go big! I really love that both stores are within 1 block from each other. I brought my huge freezer bag and 8 frozen cooler packs. Once I was done shopping at Whole Foods, I packed the freezer bag full and brought it into Trader Joe’s with me. Even though I had the freezer bag, I was not going to risk my sushi spoiling.

Here’s what I feasted on once I arrived home.

Squid and Mountain Vegetables (chuka Ika-sansai). This was by far the best new food item I have tried in a long time. The squid was tender and the vegetables were crunchy and a little bit spicy.

Spicy Tuna Avocado Rolls.

Seared Albacore Rainbow Rolls.

Squid, Sushi Party for One. Yes, please.

I also snagged a container of figs. They were kinda pricey, but figs are worth it. I only get them fresh one time per year so I splurged.

What can I say, I’ll drive distances for good food.

Hope your having a great day.

Question of the Day: What’s you favorite Sushi? I’m a huge Spicy Tuna Roll fan.

I like California roll. I’m not a huge fan of sushi but do enjoy it once in a while! That looks delish, as do those figs… I might have to look for those soon. 🙂

I love california or veggie rolls.

I do the same thing when I go to Trader Joe’s especially–stock up and then I don’t go again for about three months. Pretty soon, I won’t have to do that though since we are getting a TJ’s about 5 miles away. I can’t wait!

I’m not a sushi fan. But I am a WFM and TJ’s fan! I spied figs at TJ’s last week but am still making my way through a 10lb box of blueberries!

Sounds like a nice way to spend the day. I miss TJ’s so much and love their prepared salads and low prices. I’ve never actually had fresh figs before but I take it I’m missing out?
