Stanley's Fruits and Vegetables




"Stanley, we love your fruits and vegetables!" or says the mural that so happily greets you at Stanley's Fruits and Vegetables--the best most wonderful loving yummy place in the world...or at least on the west side of Chicago.

Mrs. Shin, the mother of the little girl I tutor, took it upon herself to make sure that Emily and I knew where to shop for our produce. She shuttled me off to Stanley's and I've never looked back. Now Emily and I make a weekly trip on the #9 bus and come back with bags full of groceries and minds full of ideas for delicious recipes to attempt in the week to come.

We've decided that we'd like to share our food adventures with you, since so far they have been so delicious and beautiful. We hope to post pictures as well as verbally enticing descriptions of our concoctions. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do and are inspired by our vivacious kitchen exploits.

Stanley is awesome because he rides a watermelon plane and smokes a pipe. Funny enough, I've passed by that place hundreds of times, yet never went in. Indeed, Ryan and I discussed going there cause their prices looked good, but never got around to it.
