It took me a long time to decide what to write about this time but I think I've narrowed it down to two things. SXSW and it's ITunes festival and the ridiculous amount of food samples that can be attained at Whole Foods. I will go into more detail tomorrow as I just found time to write this down now but I promise the time delay will be rewarded with a proper appreciation of at least one of the two topics!
So… The choice of the day is free food as we will probably discuss SXSW in class throughout this week and after Spring Break as well! Walking around Whole Foods yesterday, I sampled an Orange Custard, Fish, BBQ sauce on sausage, cheese, more cheese, a cracker with a ridiculously awesome, disproportionate amount of sausage and… cheese on it, more cheese, a piece of cake… Being a hungry teenager perpetually suffering from the affliction of hunger, I must maintain that these sampling opportunities are a blessing. I'm positive that Whole Foods loses money on me. I give them that they do manage to trick me into buying a small bite to eat (reciprocity principle) but that total is a minimal 89 cents. Their bakery is not bad at all. Also, the new Whole Foods (domain) has a pretty sweet seating area set up ranging from the hearths outside to the biergarten benches by the food trailers to the lounge style seating upstairs on the inside to the climax of the upstair outdoor seating looking out over the… highway… Yeah that part's a bummer but I've found it to be a great place to study and since even being in the proximity of so much food makes me happy, why shouldn't I be there? Whole Food's prices are at large ludicrous, but a small snack from the bakery is not a major threat to my wallet.
Recently, I've also been spending way too much time at Central Market. I found out that I could survive fairly well off of getting free samples there as well. However, if I wanted to legitimately feed myself, buying a quality loaf of bread there and then spreading either garlic butter or quality jam (preferably strawberry, blackberry or raspberry) on the delectable slices would/will be a great option in college. I just rambled for a while about food but the fact is I'm only scratching the surface. Next time, my ranting will be more focused.
