my local (and 24-hour, which is important) Kroger, and Whole Foods, which is at least a ten-minute drive away. I'd love to be able to shop at HEB, but they don't have any decent versions of their groceries nearby to me. I probably should start getting up earlier on Saturdays so I can go to the various farmers' markets in town.

Now, when I run out of Mediterranean spices, then I make the half-hour drive to Phoenicia Specialty Foods

And yeah, "cheese" is still the most difficult to get right of the fake veggie-friendly substitutes.
