Super King supermarket. My favorite market.
I trade recipes, fruit buying tips, advice, and smiles with strangers from around the world here. This place, and Los Angeles, is my living proof that we can work it out, no matter what.
Working class families are fighting for parking spaces with renowned city chefs. Asian, Spanish, European, Middle Eastern and Arican mothers are exchanging oxtail recipes.
Grab a paper number from the deli, or the butcher line, but be prepared to wait for great deals, like forty nine cents per pound chicken!
Super King market added service to delivery companies, including instacart so we can pull up and let the amazing people who work here load up our minivans with fresh produce.
The best melons in the city. Root vegetables, (the longest lasting ones) organic milk, hard cheeses, smoked meats and fish, or the ingredients to make anything from scratch, and bottle it up in your pantry.
I love to cook, I love to trade recipes and smiles. (I miss the smiles part)
Wearing a mask, whenever I leave, is mandatory, and choosing delivery services, for me and my high risk friends, and anyone who cares about us, is the best choice. I'm in the market for a mask with a smile on it, in honor of this market, the people who shop, work, and deliver here.
I'm trying to start a cooking club with friends, to trade recipes and smiles online. Slow-the spread tips, like how to pick long lasting produce to minimize the frequency of marketing while buying the same amount.
We fight over carts, and the last five cent watermelon! We cook our chicken soup by different methods, but we pass on the bargains, and comfort to our families with love, just the same.
I love this market. I love what it represents to me too. People from around the world come together, for fresh produce and international groceries from around the world, to make amazing meals.
I'm trying to learn how to slow the spread for myself, the people around me, everyone. I'm working on an algorithm. So far, Super King market is a great place to start!
Thanks to the thoughtful advice of stay at home chefs from around the planet, who host online cooking parties, and entertain through newly invented ways to stay healthy, to stay connected, I'm learning new stuff. I never would have learned it any other way.
How to make kimchee with leftover cabbage so it doesn't go to waste. Japanese pickled vegetables, so my fresh veggies last a little longer. Turn stale bread into bread crumbs. And so many more great ideas, so I can turn two marketing trips into one. Or a dinner party into an online cooking class we take together.
Thanks for helping me feed my friends and family over the years Super King Los Angeles!
And. Thanks SO much for all the living proof of love, and tolerance I have collected here. We make lemonade out of lemons, find the flowers harvested from dirt. MAKE silver linings.
Most people are good.
It might be harder to see behind a mask, but the proof is still out there. Tolerance incorporated, collected by the smiles of a million strangers here. Represented by all the smiles we collect, and keep in our hearts, from those we cook for.:)
