rebeccmeisterNo, not like that, silly.
The drive there and back involved exciting things like hills and a zillion and five traffic lights. I was so anxious about the trip that I accidentally arrived an hour and a half before my appointment time.
After dropping off the car, I realized that I was within walking distance of a grocery store that has been on my list of places to visit, a place known as Farmer's India Market. Friends had mentioned that it had opened not too long ago, and was a much better destination for (East) Indian groceries compared to the other spot we recently learned of, in town.
I walked in, and was basically dazzled by the extensive variety of foods on offer, and how beautifully and brightly they were displayed:
I came home with almost zero actual Indian groceries, because I also discovered that they stocked a wide range of Mexican items that have been really hard to find. Plus a couple of the cheeses we like, and other Latin American foods. I did buy a bunch of ataulfo mangoes, though, because they smelled amazing.
Among the other Latin American foods, something I haven't gotten to enjoy in over a decade!!
No salsa molcajete that I saw, though.
There is a Bus Rapid Transit line that runs up Central Ave to this spot, so I'll probably be back again sooner rather than later.
For now, I am relieved to be home, having run the gauntlet of all the traffic lights on Central Ave twice today (4 stall-outs).
