like the locals do....


after a fine time searching for voodoo donuts .."is it on davis? is it on burnside, is it on 3rd...??" scalder and i decided to stay in for new year's and create our own tapas bar. after getting drenched from the voodoo donut adventure - we took refuge (wallets don't apply) in the nearest whole foods a/k/a "take it like a vegan". the upscale, overpriced grocery was crammed with all sorts of people....but there was one thing that we noted as the most common accessory....the knitted...braided...beanie. there was even an end-cap dedicated to "lumber chic"...or loom-bear sheek (come on, roll those r's) we selected our beanies and had a mini photo-shoot in the household cleaning aisle...we made our purchases and headed home...pockets much lighter, heads much warmer and our insulin levels spiked from not beer,...but the donuts.....we felt like portlanders already....

My uncle calls that store "Whole Paycheck", not "Whole Foods". :)

no doubt! the place is great if you're picking up items for a special event...but wow...who can afford to purchase an entire bill of groveries there on a regular basis?

Tee hee hee. God, we are gorgeous in our lumbar-chic garb.

the whole foods in Allston always had meat at an affordable price, well chicken anyway

is chicken not meat?

This is a blog about the girls in the photo, People, and the wondrous adventure which ensued. Not about prices. Focus.

ha! Prices have overshadowed our adventure in Portland a la 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle". Must be the recession.....but those hats..........

the internet is a free expression realm, I stand by my statement, and yes, chicken is the other other white meat

If I was a hat wearer, I'd want one of those sexy thangs, prices be damned.
