- Shop frequently.
- Speak French to Jean-Marie, the really well-dressed and super-friendly cashier.
- Get something other than peanut sauce in my delicious woks.
- Do that “savoring” face when checking out the smell of the amazing soups — you, know, that “mmmmmmm” thing with the closed eyes.
- Buy at least 2 Maui Gold pineapples a month.
- Always bring either my huge IKEA bag for big trips, the Waitrose bag for smaller runs or the New Seasons bag for even smaller ones.
- Not tell stories about the Italian Market in Philadelphia when buying grated parmesan.
- Smile all the time in the store.
- Purchase all of our baby food when the wee daughter is old enough to eat solid food.
- Always buy that really good extra virgin olive oil in the bulk section.
Note: there will be more promises as I think of them — as long as I am still the mayor of New Seasons.
