good friends!

JayT, you wanna picture of Hank? THE Hank? I'll see what I can find~

We live in a very unique place. Our (one and only) grocery store is owned by a person who is a very avid hunter. In the store are specimens of all sorts. Imagine... you reach into the froxen foods cooler, pull out some Crinkel Cut Fries , glance up and see a snarling hyena. At the check out stand is a male lion mid-attack of a warthog.





Only in the Methow!!!!!
 
Edit- YEP! That's our store!




Twisp basics-
Hank C- owner of the grocery store which has the typical deli and they do all their meat processing in-house ( That's unheardof nowadays..). They make pepperoni, sausage, smoked meats, bacon...
Thomson's Meats- an independant meat processor/butcher. Freaking awesome (and pricy, but worth it) local butcher. They process wild kills in season, lamb, make several different brats...and if you want something ...different...talk to Chris.

HankR- TV star, spud farmer, redneck, ...:lol:


I'll try to link the article about HankC later. Don't feel like dealing wiith it on the tablet~~~
 
SL, that sure ain't no hippie store! :rofl:
 
"Which aisle is soyrizo?"
 
"See those two doors in the front? Through there."
 
It boggles my mind the throwdown entries you come up with out of that little store.  I shop at four or five stores sometimes to find all the ingredients I need and everyone of them are twice as big as that.
 
:rofl: yea, the soyrizo is at the other Market on Glover Street.

Yep, Hank's Harvest Foods is pretty much it! GloverStreet Market is a verywell stocked (but still small by comparison) health food store. We can drive to Walmart/Safeway....and one time I had a store in Wenatchee (1.5 hours away) bring in some catfish for me. They sometimes (but not always) carried it. So for that challenge I had the store bring in the catfish, and then paid a local delivery service to pick it up ad bring it to the Methow.

It's also that smaller personable aspect which allows for me to ask the butcher to cut a piece of chichen breast not over $1.00 worth (for the $5 challenge). Funny thing is, between CJ/Scovie and me the employees are knowing what's going on and will ask us later "how did that challenge go" ... Love IT!


edit- also- JayT, we know what we have to work with, so I usually don't go lookingfor ABC ingredient, I just alter the recipe to usewhat I have available. Luckily for the last CincoDe Mayo we had enough notice I could pick up a few things "out of area"...aka...the Walmart 40 miles away...
