I worry a little about mar-
ried couples who make gro-
cery store dates and get ex-
cited about spice scoops, but
not much A week's worth of
planning, and a one-hour date
that consumes less than 95 in
family funds may not seem
like much to the Carringtons,
but what else is there to do?
What do you do anywhere you
go’
You walk, you stand, you sit.
You look at things Occasion-
ally you eat Then
home and go to bed
We did all of that
date
Excitement hasn't
been this easy, or course I
had a grandfather who lived
for 85 years by getting excited
about these things The only
time he was in danger of dying
was when somebody talked
him into leaving his home in
Burkburnett We were visiting
relatives in Wichita Falls,
about 15 miles up the road, one
day when somebody noticed
he was missing
Several panic-stricken min-
utes later we found him walk-
ing down the side of the Burk-
burnett highway. The sun was
going down, he said, and he
had a horse named Maude he
had to get back and feed
At the time I wondered why
he even bothered to live, but
he must have found something
to enjoy to stick around as
long as he did
I used to get depressed when
people left our house earlier
than I thought they should It
was always on a flimsy ex-
cuse They had to wash the
dog. or turn up the thermostat,
or get back to see if they had
turned off the oven
I was wrong, though A per-
son has a choice He can do his
standing and walking and sit-
ting in a suit and tie. trying to
keep the sauce he's dipped his
hors d oeuvres in from getting
on his clothes.
Or he and his date can wear
their jeans and khakis and jab
their toothpicks at the same
foods while standing and walk-
ing and sitting in any good
food emporium.
The conversation is proba-
bly better, too

When that happened, we
would go out and do The Food

It turned out to be an infor

Jane Fonda.

We stormed the doors in cos-
tume at 7:30 on a Friday even-
ing and immediately found
ourselves in front of the bak-
ery department. Not a normal
bakery, but The Food Empori-
um bakery. A bakery that was
not only large in terms of
square feet, but which made
large “Texas-Sized” dough-
nuts.
How large?
Put them in plaster of parts,
they could be used for steering
wheels. Put them in your
mouth until they’ve been con-
sumed, you’ll probably have
to call for a stomach pump
Next came the tortilla sec-
tion. Conveyer belts bring
them within smelling range.

We sampled bratwurst and

The Food Emporium is full

Scoops to get your own spices
Are spices really cheaper
when you scoop your own and
put them in a plastic bag. or
does it just seem more like
real food9 And didn't they do
these things back in the nine-
teenth century when life was
less convenient?
Old fashioned, hand-printed
advertising signs are back In
recent years, supermarkets
had gotten wider and cleaner
The signs above each aisle
saying Bread, Cereal. Coffee,

ality was lost in the process.
The signs had gotten to the
point where they were making
