We hit Cupertino’s this morning, grabbing a bagel and coffee before heading to Whole Foods to gawk at the Richmonders gawking at the food.

We do love our grocery stores around here, don’t we?

I thought it wouldn’t be that busy, what with Hanna making her way through town. I couldn’t have been more wrong (I should have checked out the former cube monkey’s blog first). The place was absolutely PACKED—every aisle, every section of the store. There were even 5 or 6 people doing tastings at the wine bar! A little rain won’t keep a Richmonder from checking out the new grocery store in town.

Green beans, baby carrots, new potatoes. All fresh from the garden.

I’m celebrating Father’s Day with my girls a little early. They bought me 55 lbs. of lump hardwood charcoal from Wicked Good and couldn’t hide it—so I’m tossing some of Tom Leonard’s steaks on the grill tonight. I’ll serve it up with a bottle of 2000 Chateau La Louviere and the veggies that we planted in the spring.

Nothing beats a dinner served fresh from the garden.
