Grocery Store Tourism

Knowing how much I enjoy grocery shopping, after breakfast today our hosts suggested we check out their local grocery chain. They promised lots of Texas shaped foods, and boy, did HEB deliver.

Say you're having a barbecue and you want people to know you're from Texas. You also want to make stuffed jalapenos but you're not sure how you're going to keep them from falling through the grill rack. I have a solution for you.

People are probably going to want snacks at your party. Maybe some salsa and chips?

And you know everyone loves your pasta salad, so now you just have to declare your loyalty.

Of course, you could just stay neutral.

And you're going to want to put some cheese out for snacking.

Texas Cheese

Ah, but as you cut into that cheese the shape won't be as easy to see. Might as well just go with a party tray.

And of course, crackers and cheese go together like football and beer, just pick a flavor.

Or go with the lighter option...

Then there's this product, which is amazing on so many levels. TexaFrance pestos. Note the cactus and Eiffel Tower motifs. Note also that pesto is Italian.

  2. Ladies, it was awesome. This is mostly just the Texas shaped things, but there were an awful lot of Texas flavored things, too. I guess they were sort of jalapeno-barbecue-y, but I did not try them.
