stoutfellowI think I'll stick with Shop'n'Save in general, despite the coffee debacle. I've found three alternative sources for beans: Schnucks (not a wide selection, but better than Shop'n'Save's was), the Chef Shoppe (a narrow selection, but including Kona and Sumatra), and an online dealer whose selections include Sumatran and Ethiopian coffees. The last involves a 5-7 working day delivery time, so if I start relying on them I'll probably order a new bag every time I open one.
At any rate, I got some beans at Schnucks, and also the meat I'd forgotten the day before. I'm currently slow-cooking Yankee pot roast, recipe from the new cookbook. This is the first time I've ever cooked something involving parsnips; I'm reasonably sure I've never even eaten anything with parsnips before. Fortunately, I did have a vague idea what they looked like, and was able to find them at SnS. We'll see about taste....
