Food Frakker: Scouting out groceries

Here’s a few sights from grocery stores around Austin.

Every once in a while I have to use the restroom at the HEB when it’s being cleaned, so I have to visit the second-floor employees’ facilities.

It’s a grackle’s eye view of the store.

The other day I did a walk-through of the El Rancho Supermercado up on Research. It was a sensory-overwhelming experience, crowded, colorful and filled with visually perplexing products. Take for instance what is clearly the most awesome birthday cake ever created.

There is a freaking T-Rex bursting out of a volcano! I repeat, a freaking T-Rex bursting out of a volcano!

These fish are striped bass. It’s an ocean-going species that the State of Texas frequently stocks in reservoirs, including Lady Bird Lake.

Consider this a wistful photo of an angler’s dream.

I bought a crockpot recently, and I’m going to be kicking myself for ages because I didn’t buy one large enough to fit una cabeza de borrega.

Maybe if I tamped it down?
