I seem to be a sucker for whatever Al Baraka (on Hillsborough Street, right next to the I-440 ramp) sells.

Today’s way of killing money:

• fresh lamb, locally grown (from Salisbury, NC)
• Baba Ghanouj (metal can, but who cares, as long as the contents are good)
• Kurdish olives. Pickled, not very salty

Every time I go there I discover something new that I really have to try. I hope there’s cure for that.
