nothing beats Fry's Market....not even Wally Wal-mart

While Wal-mart prices may be superior for the poverty stricken wallet of  millions, combine their prices with quality, and good probably doesn't even cut it.  Yes, I do possess Wal-mart issues with their atrocious community impact, but those have only recently developed. 

A beautiful 61 degree Sunday morning spurred on the laid-back idea of just grabbing something from the store cooked and ready to eat.  Something about having the money to do that [because I'd been frugal with the food budget] was satisfying on a whole 'nother level.  Words can't describe that simplistically luxurious feeling in our current financially mediocre strata.  It was nice.  Adding to that was walking into the buzzing Sunday market ambience in the newly renovated Fry's.  Despite Wal-mart's into pocket six million dollar move into town, Fry's was doing well to keep up with the beastly competition.  Even the quality of food  is more worth the extra dollar.  So, the competition might as well be null and void.  Especially now that I'd been most recently defogged of the ball and chain "I can only afford Wal-mart" mentality. 

It wasn't until today that I'd noticed the new sushi stand.  It's large enough to fit four of the busy culinary crafters who make the fresh delights everyday.  These were genuine orientals making the genuine article.  Brilliance!

       

The eye candy variety made it so hard to pick and choose.  The California dragon roll one could never go wrong with.  Very impressive was a 11-12 year old boy that approached the stand asking a chef to add some more pickled ginger to his packed order.  He glanced my direction and took notice of which packs my eyes lingered over more.  That mango spice he effused over including a few others.  Rarely does anyone cross paths with an American preteen who speaks of such oriental cuisine as a copacetic luxury.  Wow.

 So, I eventually settled on the california rolls and the shrimp dragon rolls.

Mike and I shoved those babies in our maws as if they were getting ready to sprout a few legs and run off.  That was some incredible stuff.  And of what I remember of the sushi from Costco....these were delectably superior.  As long as these guys are cheffing out quality sushi, we need not pine for the Costco copycats a-la-bleh.
