Fish, Waffles, and Lasagne

Fish
So there's this guy Bill (not the butcher) who brought us some salmon a couple weeks ago. The salmon is pretty great and is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. This week he brought some cod. It's also pretty great and certified. He also has some sea bass that we'll be carrying soon.

Waffles and Pancakes
So there are these guys Janssen and Meyer aka, De Wafelbakkers, who make waffles and pancakes. They used to make waffles in Holland and send them to America. Demand was high so they built a bakery here. Now you can get them here in our freezer! We have the A+ Whole Grain Spelt Waffle made with sweet potatoes and the Whole Grain Pancake.

Lasagne and Gnocchi
So there's this guy Caeser. I think he's kinda famous for some stuff he did a bunch of years ago like conquering the salad or something. Well, he hasn't stopped his quest for supermarket domination as evidenced by his new company Caesar's Pasta. He was generous enough to give us some gnocchi as well as a wheat and gluten free, cheese lasagna. WF and GF!? What a thoughtful guy.
