East Texans Run to Brookshires!

Okay, maybe that's a little dramamtic. But I don't think so.

So today was a great day!

When I got to work I found this:

Yes! It's true, yesterday I took my exam to become an official Registered Dietitian!! Praise Jesus (really)!

My hair feels great because of THIS.

And today on my way home I stopped at the local Brookshires and saw this!

If you're not from around here and maybe your Brookshire's always looks like that. Good for you. But ours usually looks like what got left on the truck after they made all the other deliveries.

My theory: Fresh (Brookshire's new Whole Food, Central Market-type store) just moved in to Tyler and I think that means we get fresher stuff delivered on the trucks to the rest of East Texas!! I asked the lady at the checkout if my theory was true and she said

"I think it's because many of our vegetables are seasonal. Now that more fruits and vegetables are in season we have a wider selection."

False. She doesn't know. Cinnamon sticks are not seasonal... and we've never had special tongs to pick up fresh cinnamon sticks before. And there's never been quite a selection of fruit!

So if you're in our town and your best excitement is the idea of an IHOP coming to town, maybe, someday (AKA Jill), then run to Brookshire's. But that's just a suggestion from your friendly, Registered Dietitian ;)

See, even a larger selection of sausage than before... can you tell I'm from the South?
