Today I worked out, went to the library, and got a bunch of good things to eat on Atlantic Avenue. Sahadi's is in mid-renovations, and the staff are still figuring out exactly where certain things are. Mostly this is minor: the guys who scoop and weigh the dried fruit, nuts, olives, and such are still relearning, say, where the milk chocolate covered cashews are. But I didn't get another reusable shopping bag (Sahadi's sells flat-bottomed ones that work well for trips to the Greenmarket) because the cashier couldn't find one. However, I do have pistachios and pecans and dried fruit and rice and rosemary and chocolate-covered ginger. And pistachio bird's nests and pita bread from Damascus Bakery.
