dancerjodiI've been reading the Real Foods book pretty quickly. I've gotten through dairy, meat, fish and produce and have moved onto the fats chapter.
Do any of you take fish oil supplements? I'm wondering what a good supplier of them is. I don't eat as much fish as I should and Brian doesn't get any beyond the periodic tuna sandwich. The book mentions that there are good and bad suppliers of these in terms of how they are made and how many Omega 3s are in there.
We're still thinking of looking into meat, produce and milk shares somewhere. I want to get through this book and research the options out there (and figure out how it would all impact both our budget and our schedules). I paid $4 for two green organic peppers at Hannaford on Thursday night and when we went to cut them up for the pot of sauce I made yesterday they were bad - what the hell! They didn't have any organic onions that I could find, but I'm less worried about stuff with removable skins. I'm going to hit Russos for some veggies tonight and see if we fare better with them (or perhaps Wilson's in Lexington since its on the way - what do you think?).

Russo's delicatessen/charcuterie seems better than Wilson's but I'm not in a habit to shop for cold cuts ... ditto prepared foods.
Wilson's, on the other hand, tends to have more 'interesting' and boutique produce items. Their meat/chicken selection is much larger, though also way overpriced, and their bakery is much better.
I find that I shop at Wilson's more often than Russo's, but that's largely because of convenience. Wilson's is on my regular bike commute route, and it's pretty easy to just stop there and pick up something for dinner. I always have to make a special trip to shop at Russo's.
