We'd been to Fox & Obel once or twice before, mostly to browse, and it is not known for it's reasonable prices, I can assure you of that. Still, they have top quality foods to choose from, and several unique international foods as well. It's a gourmet grocery store set right in the heart of downtown.
We made it a fun evening, and brought home some special treats for the mere $20 I spent ($40 value):
Kemp's milk (plain and chocolate!)
Organic greek yogurt (I usually make my own, but I needed a new starter)
Edamame
Pluots (yum!)
Grapefruits
Jelly Belly licorice mix (this was Gentry's... we allowed him to choose one treat for himself)
A wedge of Saxony's Raw Milk Cheese (LOVE THIS ONE!)
And then, we just had to grab a snack for the ride back home, so we added some gourmet cheddar and caramel popcorn to the cart, along with two Oranginas :)
I must admit, had the popcorn been marked with a price, I would have definitely chosen a different snack to travel home with. Oh my! But we had a great time together and the food was soooo yummy.
It's fun to do something different once in awhile, isn't it? Do you have any any memories of a unique trip or experience from this summer? Please share!
Joyfully,
