I spent last week in Lake Tahoe, staying at the same condos I’d been to 5 or 6 times before.
Immediately upon arriving in town (Tahoe City), I hit up the local grocery store to buy food for the week. The feeling of walking through those doors was crushing. I hadn’t been to a “regular” grocery store in an entire year. It felt more like walking into a cramped Target than a place where I’d be buying tasty food.
Almost everything I bought there was noticeably bland - particularly Arnold Oat Nut Bread, which I used to love. No wonder I never used to get excited about food!
Just before arriving at the condo I noticed New Moon Natural Foods directly across the street. I’d passed this exact spot dozens of times - how had I not noticed it before? Well, it’s like when you need some bizarre electronic gadget and then Radio Shacks you’d never seen before start appearing all over town.
Well, I’m on the lookout for good food all the time.
Guess what? The tiny little town of Tahoe City also had an amazing farmers market! 30+ vendors selling a wide variety of stuff, and a few things I had never seen before like golden raspberries:

When you care about food, you realize there are great options everywhere you go.
