Don't misunderstand me, I'm not condemning the Piggly Wiggly or the Winn Dixie or saying that they are deficient in any way. I think their produce departments leave something to be desired most of the time, but that is true of most grocery stores. As far as meat goes, I don't think they sell prime beef. I will grant you that preparation does take you pretty far at times, but it's hard to beat prime beef. And they don't have much of a selection of fish. But, I've had good pork from the grocery stores and the chicken has been fine.
I don't think the bakeries can compare. Now I could probably bake much of the stuff they sell if I was so inclined, but frankly, I like the convenience of buying a good artisan loaf. And the grocery store in Alex City don't seem to carry much in the way of organic dairy. And I'm not stuck on organic necessarily, but I am trying not to load up on chemicals.

And yeah, I'm guilty of liking a really good bottle of olive oil and I do tend to be a bit of a snob about balsamic vinegar. And I was really pleased to find some tubed anchovy paste in Catherine's the other day, because I like the depth it adds to sauces and dressings.

But, as someone else said, if you are happy shopping at the Pig or Winn Dixie and they have everything you want, then no big deal, skip Catherine's. I won't look down on you. I'll even come over for dinner if you invite me.. LOL


You are not going to trick me into a cooking contest Swim.... for all I know, you may be a professional chef.
