Uh, yeah, $3 for *bread* is kind of outrageous. But I note myself
getting some too. I think I've had the russian type of seed. They
are indeed different. This is kind of like getting a non-believer
to understand the differences between types of rice.

Well, I have a really good recipe for French-style bread from a bread
machine but I've never tried it without using the appliance. Sorry.

Nope that's pretty easy all right. Except nobody here seems to
have a recipe. Will you ever forgive us?

Now that I'm back in the AA/Ypsi area, where are some of your favorite places
to get bread? [I dunno if the above mentioned store is still around or
not...] Am always looking for some good stuff.

Great Harvest is still around and they still have good bread.
Another chain with good bread is Panera. There is one on Washtenaw near
the Whole Foods (which also has good bread)

Farmer Jack's seems to have gone out of business :(
It is too bad because they used to have good bread in their bakery.

Did they go out of business in general or just in our local area? A&P pulled
out of here a while back and Farmer Jack took over some of their stores.
Of four supermarkets west of town when I moved here, only Kroger is left,
but Arbor Farm has now become a supermarket as has Fresh Seasons. We lost
We lost Wrigley, A&P and Farmer Jack I think. Kroger got bigger.

If its Kroger and not Farmer Jack then that means all groceries are imported
from out of state. Evil.

resp:34 It looks like Farmer Jack is still in business but has closed
all the stores around Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti. I was bummed when they
closed the one on Washtenaw because I really liked to shop there. But
the truth is that I had been shopping there a lot less than I had
before ever since Trader Joe's opened.

I know there's a Farmer Jacks in Dearborn not far from where my parents live.
What is and where is Trader Joe's? I've heard it mentioned a few times but
don't know anything about it.

Trader Joe's is beside the old Lighthouse Motel at the intersection where
Washtenaw splits off to go into town and Washtenaw and continue straight as
Stadium. They have a lot of gourmet type foods that you can't get anyplace
else, at great prices. We don't shop there nearly often enough.

Trader Joe's is hands down my favorite grocery store in the area for a
lot of reasons. One of them is that they carry a lot of high end foods
but at much lower prices than a place like Whole Foods. Mostly they are
able to do this because almost everything is a store brand. Another
reason I like to shop there is that the service is amazing. I seldom
have to wait in line for more than a few minutes. The staff seem
cheerful and happy and on the rare occasion when I havent been able to
find something, they bend over backwards to help me. The last reason I
like to shop there is that it isnt very big. This allows me to shop
quickly and efficiently. I can get in and out of there in under a 1/2
hour even when they are really busy.

We walked into Trader Joe's once and immediately out again because all of
their produce is sold in plastic and styrofoam, prepackaged, rather than bulk,
except for bananas. We did not want the packaging or the premeasured amounts.
Plus we don't live anywhere near one. We shop at the Kerrytown Market
(pineapples, carrots, oranges, avocadoes, and cabbages are sold about at cost)
and at Farmer's Market and my neighbor around the corner orders bulk food once
a month from the a large coop that delivers by truck for anyone who wants to
pay her a small commission (well worth it).

Trader Joe's is fabulous, but it's the absolute last place anybody should buy
produce at. They are wonderful for a lot of things, but produce is usally
not so fresh, and not that great of a price, and pretty small selection to
boot.
Unfortunately, I have the ghetto TJ's, and they're always out of half the
stuff that I want. It's really starting to piss me off.

Trader Joe's is the home of some of the best inexpensive wine on the planet.
