What Is The Best Grocer In Detroit?

gourmet list
Faygo asked:


Most of us should know by now about the lack of Fresh Gourmet Food Markets within Detroit City Limits.

In order to get around this problem, what store do you shop at for the freshest food, best service and cheap prices?

You can list a suburban one if you please.
There’s a Joe Randazzo’s on 7 Mile and Outer Drive.

I want to share this for everyone that has a pet?

Help, menu planning?

gourmet list
mrs.v asked:


Can someone make me up a menu for a month with a corresponding grocery list? We’re not too picky at all.
I’m not an expert cook, so nothing to fancy or gourmet,
nothing too expensive. We can use a crockpot, oven, stove and microwave. NO tofu, soy, or the like…. THanks all!

Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee Helps Orphans

gourmet list
boake moore asked:


Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is a non-profit corporation dedicated to making a significant difference in the lives of children here in Atlanta & around the world. We give our money directly to children and to other non profits. However we give supplies and books to other non profits so the support goes to the kids. We are careful to make sure our money does not go to pay salaries. We have no salaries and we make certain we don’t pay anybody’s salaries. We’re accomplishing that goal by selling our GREAT-TASTING, gourmet coffee & donating 100% of the profits to carefully selected charitable projects such as group homes, shelters, orphanages & schools. The Company – Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee This coffee company was founded by Boake and Carol Moore, as an extension of their mission work in Africa. They got the idea from another friend who brought back bags of the local coffee to sell through his church.  They wanted to help a lot of children but wanted a way to generate consistent donations over a long period of time so they could really help a lot of children. They joined the Café CoopeTarrazu Farmer’s Co-Op which enabled them to make purchases from a local group of 2500 farmers. Then they began importing the coffee that is now sold as Mission Grounds. There are no administrative overhead costs at Mission Grounds. We rely on a team of volunteers led by successful business executives such as Thomas Loach and Rick Sample. No one involved in the effort accepts a salary. Overhead is limited to shipping, packaging and labeling the coffee, and comprises less than 5% of revenue Every penny of profit goes toward child-centered projects in the U.S. and countries around the world. We use personal contacts to transfer funds and ensure the entire amount reaches its intended destination. The Coffee Mission Grounds Coffee is made from the finest Arabica beans grown in the rich volcanic soil of the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. Known for its intense aroma and depth of flavor, coffee from this region is frequently used to improve the flavor of big-name blends. Tarrazu coffee is graded at five levels. The highest quality (#1) is also the least abundant, because it is grown at the highest altitudes and takes the longest to grow and ripen. Large coffee chains, which must purchase their beans in huge quantities, routinely pass over grades 1 and 2, even for their finest coffees. Mission Grounds buys only the #1 grade beans. We offer two roasting options: Dark Roast, which is slow roasted for a smooth, rich taste, slightly spicy and full-bodied, and Mission Grounds Light Roast which offers a more delicate flavor that is crisp and bright. The Opportunity:There are several ways you can show your support for the work of Mission Grounds: BUY MISSION GROUNDS COFFEE. Whether you purchase one pound for your personal enjoyment, or several pounds a week to serve in your corporate break room, every donation helps our causes. SELL MISSION GROUNDS COFFEE. If you have a restaurant or coffee shop, we’d love to be your house brew. DONATE DIRECTLY TO A PROJECT. We’ll be happy to discuss the efforts we have underway and how your donations can make a difference. Our current projects are listed on the back panel of this brochure. Corporations can know 100% of their donations go to helping children and not to a salary or overhead. Donate where giving makes the biggest difference. VOLUNTEER TO HELP HOMELESS CHILDREN: Please give me a call at (678) 480-1067, and let’s talk. The Projects: Mission Grounds is currently supporting projects in several areas: Atlanta, Georgia: Sales from Mission Grounds Coffee support The Children’s Restoration Network (CRN) and Jars of Clay. These two organizations provide food, clothing, housing, education and job training for children in need in the Atlanta area. Jars of Clay works specifically with the inner-city poor, CRN works with shelters and group homes throughout Metro Atlanta. China: Mission Grounds has recently completed a third school near Kunming in the Yunnan province. We have identified 12 more sites for future school construction. Our goal is to complete at least 2 or 3 schools per year. Venezuela: Mission Grounds is constructing and supporting an orphanage housing 160 children that is under construction in the town of Barquisimeto. It is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2008. At least one other site has been identified for a similar facility. Russia: Mission Grounds supports several orphanages in St. Petersburg, including an HIV home, through an organization called Relational Bridges International. Other Projects: Mission Grounds partnered with Family Circle magazine to help families displaced by Hurricane Katrina. We also sponsored Back to School festivals to distribute backpacks and school supplies to children in Buffalo, NY and New Orleans, LA. We currently are exploring similar opportunities with children’s charities in Pittsburgh, PA, Charlotte, NC and other U.S. cities

Are Gourmet Foods For Everyone?

gourmet list
David Swanson asked:


When you think gourmet foods what comes to your mind? Expensive, only available in the top restaurants of the world presented in unique design by men that speak with accents wearing tuxes? The truth is that they are not as expensive as you think, they do not need a culinary master to be prepared and they do not take as much time as you may believe.

Gourmet foods can appeal to all the senses. Taste, touch, sight, and sound. Finer gourmet foods when beautifully presented and carefully tasted can equal the experience of seeing an original piece of a masters work of art. The aroma that lingers in the air and the beauty in the way it was arranged can be worth the price that some of the finest restraunts may charge. Only high quality food and drink will suffice for those that consider food to be a delicacy and treasure.

With that being said, how does a person go about selecting everyday foods from the local market and preparing them at home to equal those prepared by a world renown chef? I completely believe that preparing gourmet meals at home for yourself, several times a week, is possible and not saved for those times when special dinners are required for guests while entertaining. Where to shop for gourmet foods? That depends on where you live. Gourmet quality items can be found at your local grocery or farmers market, it just takes some looking. There are some areas that have specialty stores or gourmet shops. Remember, I said it doesn’t have to be expensive to be gourmet it has to be high quality.

So you are going to look for foods that look good, are high quality and are fresh. You want foods that are not processed or packaged and in most cases have not been treated with pesticides and such. Pick the freshest foods if at all possible. If fresh foods are not an option some frozen varieties are acceptable but never use canned. You know the difference in quality foods when you see them. They are usually the foods that are packaged attractively and displayed in a way that makes you want to buy them. You are consuming it, it should be high quality.

If you are not sure how to go through the grocery and pick out the high quality foods, then you can turn to the internet. There are many quality gourmet shops online. If you are going to use the online approach to gourmet food shopping I recommend making a list of what you are looking for. Once you have that list you will want to find the better sites that offer the best foods. Places such as Amazon.com can help you locate the foods you are looking for and offers you a simpl way to price compare.

Price compare, paying more doesn’t mean that you are getting better quality of food. The quality of the food is not always revealed in the price tag. I have been to restaurants and had a filet mignon and paid an insane amount of money for a steak and then gone to a chain restaurant and had a filet that was ten times better and cost 1/3 of the “fine restaurants” filet.

Shopping for the good gourmet foods takes time. It can be an enjoyable time. Planning ahead and getting bargins by watching for coupons in your local paper is also wise. Instead of taking a long county drive on a Saturday, try visiting one or two local markets browsing up and down the isle looking for special food items to create a gourmet meal. Eating should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience, so take the time to prepare your gourmet meals.
