Holy Lord! $27/lb for 10-12 sea scallops? No skate wing, but not a single affordable selection in the seafood counter. I love whole red snapper, but not at $17/lb. I can rent a charter out of Tybee, drive six hours each way and still get snapper cheaper than that.

Whole Foods is for people who want to be seen and wish to present an image of massive disposable income.

Frozen lasagna and spinach salad tonight. I have absolutely no energy to cook tonight. No energy or creative spark whatsoever.
