The businessmen as knights of the social ideal: Alfred Marshall and the moralization of capitalism
AbstractThis article studies the role of the businessmen in Marshall's views on the progress towards the social ideal. The analysis is grounded on a perfectionist reappraisal of the Marshallian principle of justice supported by an historical perspective and some of Marshall's unpublished papers. It updates and questions the broadening process of the economic chivalry of businessmen in the social space. More particularly, it pays attention to the evolutionist conception of morality which underlies this process.

The East Pasture is a rolling property of just under seven acres. Up until about 12 years ago it was totally wooded, but I have converted it into fenced (hi tensile wire) pasture without sacrificing all the trees. It serves a great purpose of limited grazing for horses that need controlled access to grass.
Adjacent to the East Pasture is the "Pony Patch" which is approximately ½ acre of limited grass access and some tree shelter.

pressure cooker choices
- Tee Feb 6, 2007 10:07 AM
I am ready to purchase my first pressure cooker and have read all previous threads.
I have spent a couple of hours surfing all the pc sites and reviews.
I have just returned from Bed Bath and Beyond - and Target. (my only choices in Gastonia, NC during lunch)
So I have done my homework first.
I have decided I want an 18/10 stainless steel 7 or 8 quart.
I can buy a Fagor 8 q.(5 piece set) at BB&B for $99.00
I can buy a Kuhn-Rikon 7.3 q. from Amazon for $ 175.00 (why so expensive?)
I can't buy a Magefesa anywhere yet, their Magefesa USA website is "under construction", and the links have been frustrating, but I want one....human nature, I guess.
Please give me some guideance if you have first hand knowledge.
I will spend the extra bucks on the Kuhn if convinced.
I own a Fagor and am happy with it. If I only had one pressure cooker this would be it.
I also own a Faberware electric, which is better for slow release since it's "set and forget". It's not as good as a stove top cooker for any recipe that requires quick release, though, since quick releasing involves manipulating a valve to release the steam in short bursts, and I've very rarely also ejected boiling liquid by trying to speed the process w/bursts that were too long.
(These are the only two brands I'm familiar with.)
Kuhn Rikon is like All Clad. It's beautifully made and can make your life a little easier (arguably), but you do pay a premium for it - the cost of living is high in Switzerland. (lol). I got one on really good sale, but you'll survive very happily with a less expensive model, too.
re: bayoucook
I've had my Kuhn Richon for 15 years or more. Very high quality. Still going strong. But, was it worth the bucks? I don't know - it's the only pressure cooker I've ever owned, so I have no idea how other models might perform or hold-up. Back when I purchased mine, I contacted the mfg to obtain a second non-pressure type lid, which I bought at a reasonable price. This, of course, means I can use the pot as a "normal" stainless steel cooking pot OR I can use it as a pressure cooker. I appreciate the versatility. This pot is verrrry sturdy. (By the way, bayoucook - I would not compare my KR to All Clad; actually its sturdier than All Clad, which I own several pieces of - or at least 15 yrs ago it was sturdier.) My Khun Richon is to average cookware as a standard issue Hummer is to, say, a Toyota RAV4. The KR has something of an destructible quality, which appealed to me when I bought it - and still does.
Have you consider a Presto? Not as elegant and cool as the Europeans...but not as expensive either. I think a 6 qt runs around $50 bucks retail for high quality stainless steel. My Mom gave me a presto about 10 years ago and I thought it was a weird gift at the time but it has come in handy. I think I use it about 6 times a year and on that level it's fine. If I were to use one on a weekly basis, a nice egro one might be worth it.
I have a Kuhn, but hunted for quite a while to buy it at a discount. I like it -- its simple, its solid, it makes you feel very comfortable and not much to clog up or go wrong. I also have a 22 qt Mirro which I like for the same reasons, but its aluminum. What are really common around here are brazilian made aluminum pressure cookers (glock brand or something) where the lid goes inside the top (instead of around) and then the handle is hooked around the post -- the pressure valve spins and usually you see folks putting a spoon to make it seal properly... these do not give me confidence.
The fagor seems pretty nice, although the dials slightly turn me off, but it seems pretty bomb proof. My Kuhn might last longer, but the amazon price is pretty steep. If you do have any latino stores in your neck of the woods, check those out... in addition to the glock spinner style, they often do have some less expensive stainless models at least up here.
Thanks all. I will most likely bite the bullet and order the Kuhn from Amazon. I only want to buy one, once.
I have few retail choices choices here in my part of NC.
I am leary of the Fagor as the handles and dials seemed "cheap", and I have read online that the handles can fall off over time.
I know that the Amazon price for the Kuhn is high, and if I had more cooking stores (like Atlanta does) I could save some money.
As an example, I saw the Fagor 8 q. in Sur la Table catalog for $ 129.00 ( on sale!) but it is $ 99.00 at my local BB&B.
Thanks again.
The post on Chowhound, which I assume you are referring, that indicated that a Fagor handle fell off has been updated. Initially it said that the handle was glued on. For the record, no P/C that I'm aware of has handles that are glued on. The handle brackets are typically spot welded or, rarely, riveted and then the handles are attached to the brackets with screws. That post now indicates that the P/C was quite old at six years. Many new P/Cs from that company have 10-year warranties.
RE: Brazilian P/Cs. Be wary of a P/C that does not have safety systems such as a secondary (or additional) relief valve(s) or equivalent and a system that prevents the cover from being accidentally opened while it is still under pressure. Pressure plugs rather than spring-type safety valves can also be a pain. Look for the UL symbol. It shows that the P/C meets the UL safety standard for P/Cs.
Perhaps a better question than "why is this so expensive" is "why are the others so cheap?" Many factors affect the price of an item: quality, where it's made, whether the workers are fairly paid, factory working conditions, manufacturing plant safety and environmental safeguards, etc. I may be alone on this, but I like to support independent retailers as they are better for the economy and create a lot more jobs than big stores with a relatively few number of administrative employees located in a centralized location.
Came across this website ( http://fastcooking.ca ) on Google. Perhaps you already did too during your research. They sell Fagor (best site for pictures, I think), but it also has a lot of general info on P/Cs such as what to look for in a P/C, cookbooks, recipes, history, etc.
re: alphafood
After 5 months of use, the handle on my 6qt Fagor (Elite) fell off - it's quite evident that the spot welds holding the bracket to the pot gave way. I expect Fagor to honor the warranty, but sending in for replacement will be a bother.
I was surprised how small the spot welds are - 3 dots on each side of an inch wide bracket. But I saw, on a TV 'how it is made' show, that Kuhn uses the same style of attachment.
I received a Presto stainless steel 8 quart cooker as a Christmas gift and so far, I'm very pleased. The bottom part is a sturdy piece of s/s and has been easy to clean. The cover, which of course contains the pressure regulator and vents, hardly gets dirty!
As previous posts mention, cooking a large pork butt or shoulder calls for a cooker of this size; you must Not fill it more than half full.
Cooking beef chuck or short ribs will get you some good eats AND great stock in about 45 minutes.
I've found that the thermal mass of this beast makes it possible to slightly undercook (by time), release pressure and check progress, then close and bring back up to temperature without losing much overall time.
You can find and buy online a Magefesa pressure cooker at www.tecnoagencia.com/magefesausa. You will find their whole catalog online.
I have heard that they will be opening a subsidiary company in the US in the coming months. THey are planning to expand their business in the US market.
Hope it helps.
I just got the Cuisinart electric pressure cooker and I LOVE it! No need to turn on the stove, there are browning and saute settings to pre cook and a simmer setting to reduce sauce after cooking. It also has a built in timer. I was worried about safety with the stovetop models, and I live in an apartment with a bad stove anyway, so the electric version is perfect for me. I totally love this appliance and would recommend it to anyone!
Tee, the only pressure cookers that we have ever had are Kuhn-Rikon, so we cannot compare and contrast. However, what we may be able to add to the conversation is that the Kuhn-Rikon pots and pans themselves, open to the world, or with ordinary lids, are superb cookware in their own right. We use ours -- on an induction cooktop: they are induction-compatible -- for everything that one would use non-pressure-cooker pots for. And the "bottoms" of the Kuhn-Rikons (that is, everything but the pressure lids) go straight into the dishwasher.
re: Politeness
Fagor also works nicely on the induction burner. A PC plus induction is a great warm weather combination.

Girls with Glasses are Hot
Tami and I had a little quibble yesterday about girls and glasses. I think girls can look extremely hot and sexy with the right pair of glasses (especially the thicker black rimmed frames like above). She thinks girls look better without glasses and that contacts are the way to go.
I had to dig up a few photos to prove my point. What do you guys think?

Paul Brundell is President of Allan Custom Homes and part of the Greater Cedar Rapids Area Home Builders Association.
He was glad to hear that the number of residential building permits issued in Iowa in August was up 25% over last year.
"Anytime we see improvements and stabilization in that market that's good news for many individuals," said Brundell.
According to the United States Census Bureau, more than 6,000 new building permits have been authorized in the state this year.
There's two areas of Iowa that saw less building permits in the first half of this year than they did the same time last year, Ames and Cedar Rapids. But in the case the Cedar Rapids, it's largely due to the fact that many of the flood recovery projects are done.
"Is it disappointing? Certainly you always want to see numbers that are reaching upwards," said Brundell.
He feels a local trend has been to remodel a current home, instead of building a new one.
"A lot of that's being driven by the uncertainty that they've seen in the past four or five years in what their home might sell for and what equity might exist in the home," said Brundell.
He says if there's less uncertainty, people will be more willing to make life's big decisions.

Deep Blue Something
There's plenty to be said for drinking eight glasses of water a day. Consider the host of healthful benefits of proper hydration: better digestion, muscle and joint lubrication, and even fatigue relief. It can also do wonders for skin health when incorporated properly, which wasn't lost on dermatologist to the stars Dr. Erno Laszlo when he gave the clear stuff a central role in his landmark product line nearly 80 years ago. Marilyn Monroe was a fan; peer closely at the LAPD's investigative photos of her bedroom at the time of her death and you'll see a Laszlo jar beneath the nightstand. Renowned for its ability to work with the skin's natural pH, the iconic brand remains just as aqua-focused today, with its latest innovation focusing on the eyes. Its Firmarine Eye Therapy is a silky formula packed with ingredients like amino acid-rich spirulina maxima (a.k.a. sustainable fresh water algae); glycosaminoglycans; moisturizing aloe extract; vitamins A, C, and E; and, of course, sea water aplenty. The lightweight serum is instantly soothing and tightening on the delicate eye area, and manages not to compete with any makeup you layer over it—a feature of which Norma Jean would've no doubt approved.

Yeshe Tsogyal
|Yeshe Tsogyal
|Tibetan name
|Chinese name
|Traditional Chinese
|Simplified Chinese
|Part of a series on
|Tibetan Buddhism
Practices and attainment
History and overview
Yeshe Tsogyal (757–817), was the consort of the great Indian tantric teacher Padmasambhava, the founder-figure of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Nyingma tradition considers her equal in realization to Padmasambhava himself. The meditational practices related to her stress her enlightened aspect and are similar in form to tantric deity practices in general. She is variously equated with Vajravārāhī, Tārā or Sarasvatī.
Both the Nyingma and Karma Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism recognize Yeshe Tsogyal as a female Buddha. The translators of Lady of the Lotus-Born, the namthar or spiritual biography that Yeshe Tsogyal left as a terma, observe:
As Dodrup Tenpai Nyima makes clear, beings able to reveal Termas must have at least the realization of the Perfection Stage practices. On the other hand, the one who originates the Treasures must have the supreme attainment of Buddhahood. Lady of the Lotus-Born is thus a testimony of Yeshe Tsogyal's enlightenment.[1]
Life story[edit]
- From the mouth of a lotus was born
- The swift goddess, heroic liberator
- Who went forth in human form
- Amid the snowy mountains of Tibet.[2]
According to legend, Yeshe Tsogyal was born in the same manner as the Buddha, a mantra sounding as her mother gave birth painlessly. She is considered a reincarnation of the Buddha's own mother, Maya. Her name, "Wisdom Lake Queen" (Wylie: ye shes mtsho rgyal), derives from her birth causing a nearby lake to double in size.[3]
As a young girl, she is said to have prayed for the happiness of all sentient beings. At the age of sixteen, she was initiated into Buddhism by Padmasambhava. Although she was originally one of the queen consorts of Trisong Detsen, she was given to Padmasambhava and became his main spiritual consort. After many years of diligent study, she achieved a level of enlightenment equal to his. Yeshe Tsogyal was the main compiler of Padmasambhava's teachings, and it was she who concealed most of the termas.[citation needed]
Tsogyal is seen by some as a transformation of an older Bon figure, Bon mo mtso ("female Bon practitioner of the lake",Wylie: Bon mo mtso)[citation needed] whom she debates in her autobiographical terma. Her teachings also preserve the Dzogchen shared by Bon with Tibet's earliest Buddhist tradition. As the wife of Trisong Detsen and the consort of Padmasambhava, given to him at her request by the king, she also stands historically at the beginning of Buddhism's eclipse of Bon in Tibetan religious practice.
Spiritual attainments[edit]
Padmasambhava advised Yeshe Tsogyal that far from being a hindrance to enlightenment, as was generally accepted, a woman's body is an asset: "The basis for realizing enlightenment is a human body. Male or female, there is no great difference. But if she develops the mind bent on enlightenment the woman's body is better" (quoted by Stevens, 1990, p. 71).
Gyatso (2006) relates the background to how Yeshe Tsogyal receives empowerment to practice zhitro by the initiation of a vidyadhara::
After succeeding in a variety of feats, including beheading a tiger, she gains access to an elaborate palace where she receives esoteric initiations from several vidyādharas and buddhas. She returns to Chingpu and after a year is robbed by seven bandits whom she then converts to Buddhist practice. She proceeds with the bandits on a magic carpet to the place Oḍḍiyāna where they all receive peaceful and wrathful deity practice (zhitro) initiations from a vidyādhara, who gives her the secret name Kharchen Za and cavorts in bliss with her.[4]
According to Karmapa lineage Tsogyel had attained Buddhahood in that very life. On the Gyalwa Karmapa website it is said that she -some thirty years before transcending worldly existence- finally emerged from an isolated Meditation Retreat (796-805) as "a fully Enlightened Buddha " (samyak-saṃbuddha).[5]
Among lay Tibetans she is seen as a Buddha who takes the form of an ordinary woman so as to be accessible to the average person, "who, for the time being, do not see her Vajravarahi form as a fully perfected deity."[3] In fact,
- She displays whatever emanation form will tame
- Any given [person], just as, for example, the full moon in the sky
- Emerges as [various] reflections in different water vessels.[6]
Yeshe Tsogyal is also considered a manifestation of Sarasvati and sometimes identified with the Bodhisattva Tara.[3][7] In the '"Life of Yeshe Tsogyel," Padma Sambhava predicted that Yeshe Tsogyel would be reborn as Machig Lapdron; her consort, Atsara Sale,[8] would become Topabhadra, Machig's husband; her assistant and Padma Sambhava's secondary consort, Tashi Khyidren, would be reborn as Machig's only daughter, and so on. All of the important figures in Tsogyel's life were to be reborn in the life of Machig Lapdron, including Padma Sambhava himself, who would become Phadampa Sangye.[9]

What is the best way of earning money? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Try to come up with an answer. Well, you will hardly be much different from many other people who live on our planet. Everybody wants to be financially independent and on the other hand one likes to have a good job, a job which is likeable, with no schedule and no boss who would treat you the way he likes. To cut the long story short people don't like jobs. Ideally one would earn the living by means of going in for his favorite hobby.
But very few people can afford it. Athletes do that, but their careers don't last long. People of art do that, but only at the beginning of their careers, besides in order to afford it they need to be very popular among the people. This goal is not easy to be reached either. But are there any other options? Of course there are. Try playing poker online games. It won't be too hard for you to learn to play poker online. The only thing to keep in mind is that you need to observe certain rules in order to be successful in it and hence to be able to win poker online real money.
Let's try to understand what those simple things are. First of all you need to understand that the result of the game you are playing depends on you and on you only. You shouldn't blame your fortune for your losses. You and you only are responsible for your result. Before you start playing poker online for money there are certain steps you need to take. First of all it's important that you should learn the rules of the poker game you choose to play. Remember: poker is not just one game. There are many games which belong to this huge family of gambling games called poker. So, the first step is choosing the game. The next one is learning the rules. If you don't know where to find the rules you need to search the Internet for the rules. Don't trust the first web site you run into. It's important to read up the information at several sources. Then you do the same thing with poker winning strategies. There are lots of them on the Internet but you need to find at least a couple of them and get to understand them really well. After the learning part is over you need to start practicing.
You need to go to an online casino and apply for a free sign up bonus. It will give you a chance to gamble for a while without taking risks, without betting for your own money. It's very important to do some practicing. As they say practice makes perfect. So when you are perfect you can start playing for money. You may be quite sure that you will be a success. Being a success in gambling means earning quite substantial sums of money by means of going in for your favorite leisure activity. And isn't it what you were after? Now the goal is reached. Congrats.

More Than 100 Primates Given New Homes
A transfer of 113 primates from the defunct Wild Animal Orphanage to the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in Dilley was approved Monday by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas. In August 2010, the Northwest Side animal orphanage announced on its website that it was being dissolved because of overpopulation, underfunding and inadequate housing. More than 190 animals were at two locations, a 7-acre site at 9626 Leslie Road and 102 acres on Talley Road, at the time of the announcement.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I was in a similar position. In a guild with nice people, but were just not very good players. They had other issues as well, and I hated the server. So I decided that I wasn't getting what I wanted out of the game and moved elsewhere. I still harbor some guilt at leaving, and would like to chat with them; but I think there would be too many bad feelings about me leaving. And I think that does sort of create a bad aura, even if you leave on "good" terms.
Column advise is actually pretty good. My new guild just dragged me through Kara last week. I have to admit there was a lot of cool new stuff in there and I had a good time. However keep in perspective that this is ONLY Kara. Once you've been through it, you're pretty much killing the same stuff for a while to gear people. It doesn't sound like the next guild is going to be clearing BT anytime soon so the most you can hope for is to keep running Kara I'm guessing.
And so you run to the new guild, then in like a few weeks Wrath comes out and makes it sort of irrelevant. I don't think it's worth it. For a group of friends that are struggling and that will honestly NEED you, not just to fill a slot but because you are one of their key players; stick it out. They'll certainly appreciate it. It's too late in the game to jump ship now, especially when you're really not going to get that far.
If you come to that crossroads again and have to decide if you want to see more content, make that decision when the stakes are worth it.

Lately, Mountain View has had its fair share of rainy days. But it didn't rain as much this winter as usual.
The Bay Area remains at 50 percent below normal rainfall and while Mountain View no longer has orchards, this means less water for area farms. To raise awareness about the increasing scarcity of fresh and clean water for food production the United Nations chose " Water and Food Security," as the theme of this year's annual World Water Day celebration.
And as part of World Water Day 2012, acknowledgement of the efforts of people and institutions to conserve water will take place around the world. Locally, the Silicon Valley Water Conservation Awards will take place at the Redwood City Council Chambers, 1017 Middlefield Rd., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Among the award recipients will be the Santa Clara Valley Water District, Frank Niccoli of the San Carlos-based business The Village Gardener, a sustainable landscape architect.
Other commemorations include that from the Mountain View-based water filtration product company, Zuvo Water, who asks fans on its Facebook page to complete the sentence: "I am thankful for water because... ." From the people who participate one will be chosen by midnight of Mar. 22, 2012 to receive a Zuvo Water Filtration System valued at $299.
"Water resources are increasingly under pressure all over the world," said CEO Andy Butler. "We are excited to offer this forum to highlight the need to preserve this precious commodity, as well as to celebrate our appreciation of water and commemorate World Water Day."
Another way Zuvo Water, located at 404 Villa St., tries to help--they donate all the profits from the sale of their water bottles to fund safe water access in Africa and bring potable water to rural villagers.
The city of Mountain View thinks about water conservation too.
By state mandate, Mountain View must conserve 20 percent more water by 2020 and it's already half way there. Also, the city recycles three million gallons of waste water, used by companies in North Bayshore for irrigation and firefighting. Find out more and gettips about "water-wise" gardening and information about rebates to business available on the city's website.

How Far Do You Travel For Groceries?
Having grown up in Kansas City it wasn't uncommon for me to make a 40-minute trip to my local Whole Foods. Now living in Chicago there's a market on every corner and major grocery stores within an easy mass transit commute, but this weekend I still found myself driving 40 minutes to the suburbs. How far do you travel for groceries?
Although Chicago is littered with markets serving up international foods and things that might be hard to find in other parts of the country, there are a few specialty stores that serve all the Asian or Latin ingredients you could desire all under one roof. A recent trek out to the city of Niles landed me in just such a place.
I'm more than willing to travel to find exact ingredients to make a new dish, and even though I'm probably not making that journey every week, that doesn't mean I won't make the drive every few months for a few special items.
Friends think I'm ridiculous as they never leave the neighborhood for groceries and just eat what they can find around them. How do you find ingredients? Do you head to the local chain grocer no matter the distance? Shop the local corner store even if it's a little sketchy? Make long trips to the suburbs in the name of fresh tofu and live snails? Let us know below!

Traveling for groceries is what I will NOT do. I live 2 blocks from an acceptable if not great store. I have fruits & veg delivered weekly as well as milk (yes, very lucky to have a millkman) and I will stock up at the farmers markets which only run in summer/fall here due to short growing season in New England. The farthest I will go is a bus ride to the other end of town to Trader Joe's but I do that maybe 4 times a year to stock up. If I'm around a nice food shop incidentally I will stop in and pick up a few things.
20 minutes, tops...because Wegman's isn't closer than that.
We just moved to a town in which the only grocery store that is reasonably priced and has a good selection is Wal-Mart. It annoys me, but I can't bring myself to drive forty minutes to the next city just to avoid shopping there.
Now, if I already happen to be visiting a city with a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods, I definitely make time to stop by and pick up some things.
I am fortunate that in my neighborhood (Chicago) I have several different grocery stores within 2-5 blocks. I could not imagine having to travel long distances unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. And I am genuinely interested in knowing what ingredients/food stuffs you cannot find in Chicago and must drive to Niles for instead? Doesnt have Chicago have everything?
I have to drive for an hour to get any food at all. Perks of living in the middle of nowhere!
It does make me plan things out better - or it's made me a better spur of the moment cook with a perpetual "what's left in the fridge" challenge ongoing!
I live in/recently moved to a city with LOTS of shopping options, but haven't been happy with them...usually missing key ingredients in my repertoir or too expensive or produce is crap and all are at least a 10 minute drive, which I find ridiculous considering I live near downtown. I've just found a new store that fits my needs and is a 15 minute drive (within the city). Longer than I'd like, but worth it. The next time I move I'll make sure I'm within a mile or two of a good grocery store.
The irony is I moved from a small town with a perfect co-op that was only 2 blocks away and a gorgeous farmer's market within a mile. You'd think I'd have had a harder time there. I was so lucky and spoiled. :(
One last share, I grew up in northern wisconsin and no joke, you HAD to drive at least 1/2 an hour to get to the closest grocery store. Much less in the way of impulse shopping up there!
We live in DC and the food shopping options are halfway decent to non-existent. I try to keep it local as much as possible, but do go out to the burbs probably 3-5 times a month. Favorite store is 25 miles away, oddly, in the middle of nowhere; the other about 12 miles. Not exactly thrilled with it, but it is what it is.
Not at all. I have it delivered - thanks Fresh Direct!
We're about a 5-minute walk from a huge grocery store. Fortunately both our drives home from work go past farmer's markets and our favorite health food store. Not sure if that counts as driving "to" the store.
I love grocery shopping and am willing to travel a bit of a distance to get what I want. That being said, though, I probably wouldn't go to the burbs just to get something--but I would definitely hit it up if I were out in that direction. I'm also more than willing to go to multiple stores to get things--Trader Joe's for wine/cheese, Whole Foods for cheese/special ingredients/bulk, Jewel for standard stuff, Stanley's or the farmer's market for produce.
i live in a mecca of great grocery store options. all within walking distance. i have a BJ's (similar to Sam's Club or Costco) and a Shoprite (typical big box grocery) 3 blocks in 1 direction, a Key Foods (big box but not AS big box as Shoprite) 3 blocks in another direction, amazing bodega with fresh, cheap produce around the corner, a hispanic grocery store with a great butcher 1 block away, a meat market and vietnamese grocery 3 blocks in another direction, and a few indian and philipino grocery stores about a mile away with a few bakeries on the way. we also have numerous farmers markets within a 8 block radius of my house.
(high five to jersey city!!)
no trader joe's or whole foods though... gotta train it to manhattan for that.
I only drive about 5 miles to my preferred Central Market. The two grocery stores closest to me are a not very nice Kroger and a questionable Wal-Mart (I once saw a man picking up and throwing down apples. I decided not to buy apples that day.). The quality of produce and other items I get by driving just a little farther is worth it to me. I would be willing to drive a little farther if necessary to get quality produce.
I live in an absolute grocery bull's eye: within 2 miles of my home are a Trader Joe's, a Whole Foods, 3 Publixes and 2 Krogers. Also within this distance are three weekly farmers' markets. And a corner convenience store next door for last-minute alcohol needs. So I can't imagine having to travel farther than that for ANYTHING.
Unfortunately, we have nothing quite within walking distance. It's 2 miles to the nearest grocery store (a Shoppers, which I really like) and 2 miles in the opposite direction to Whole Foods. We have to drive to Shoppers, but can hop the bus to get to Whole Foods. Aside from that, it's 8 miles to H-Mart and 13 miles for Trader Joe's or Costco. Weekly, Shoppers is the go-to with a monthly/bi-monthly trip to the 'burbs.
Ha! Chicagocook has my grocery-circuit when I lived in Chicago down to every detail (except I would pick up cooking/baking basics at Aldi's instead of Jewel - saved bushels of cash that way). When I lived in the city, it was easy to justify popping over to several places to get the best deals, since you'd have to deal with traffic anyway (situation is obviously different for someone without a vehicle!).
Now I'm in a much smaller town and EVERYTHING is 10 minutes away, including the local grocery we go to. (After trying several I found the perfect compromise between the generic King Soopers/Safeway and Whole Paycheck).
I say keep trying different places and routes until you find an ideal routine. It all depends on your priorities as a cook and consumer and where your priorities are. :)
The house that my fiancee and I bought this year is just 2 miles from a supermarket.
However, this is not our preferred place to shop, as a lot of the time the produce is not that fresh, the bakery items aren't tasty, and the meat is overpriced. We generally only go there for emergencies or if other options are closed.
Running a quick count on my fingers (haha) within 10 miles we have (easily) 8 Supermarkets or Department Stores with Grocery, 3 Big-Box, 2 Off-Brand Cheapie, and 1 locally owned Grocery. That's not counting the 3-4 butchers, 5-6 bakeries, 2 farm markets, drug stores with bread and milk, and convenience stores.
And yet, we do not have a single location that we can go for ALL of our shopping concerns. We have, so far, broken it up according to need. Go to specific stores for specific needs.
Fully on topic, the farthest we drive for groceries is 20 miles to a decently-low priced butcher/deli that we easily save money on a single trip (even with a bridge toll) due to buying meats and a few other things in bulk.
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of food options. There are several grocery stores, an organic co-op a nice fruiterie, a farmer's market twice a week and several bakeries, a fish market and a butcher a bit further away. I sometimes take the metro to go to a big farmer's market a bit further away but that is about as far I will go. I don't have a car so going to the suburbs is out of the question and nothing in the suburbs is as nice as what I can get in town anyways.
We can walk to 2 groceries and a farmer's market on Tuesday and Saturday throughout the fall and summer. We still drive 60 miles 3 or 4 times a year to stock up on staples at a good price. That again is the price of living in a small town in the boonies. However, we can also have our own garden, and can and preserve from it.
Within in 1.5 miles from my house I have:
- the little locally owned grocery with a good selection of non-Asian ethnic food (think matzo, everything from Goya and a ton of British imports).
- a basic big name grocery (Albertson's) for basics
- Whole Foods
- Walmart for those days when you also need office supplies and shampoo.
My favorite Asian grocery is 5.5 miles (and we usually hit it when we head to our town's Vietnamese area for pho).
In about a year, I'll be able to add Trader Joe's within 2.5 miles to that list. However, before the Trader Joe's is functioning, I'll likely have moved 15 miles away to my boyfriend's house in the sticks, with just a Walmart and a mid-sized grocery nearby. The things we do for love and two bathrooms.
Why didn't you just go to Joong Boo? I imagine that's what you traveled out to Niles for?
I have a variety of grocery stores within a 5 minute drive from my house, all on my way home from work. The one exception I make is driving 20 min to the west side of town to go Trader Joes every once in awhile.
I used to live less than 1 block from Trader Joe's so I'd walk there all the time (never drive).
I moved about 3 blocks away and now bike to work so I just bike there on my way home and pick up stuff to put in my bike basket (you can carry a good amount)
Short answer: I travel 4 blocks. I practically never drive to the grocery store. I like that when you walk or bike you pay more attention to how much you purchase (which saves money) and therefore waste less.
Other than Trader Joe's I also live less than 1 mile from a Fresh N Easy and a Pavilions. I'll also bike there if I need something from them.
Once every 3 months I'll treat myself to the Asian supermarket which is 4 miles away and only then I'll drive.
There's a good grocery store in my neighborhood, and it's on my way home from work. They have everything I need, or will get it for me if I ask. The only other place to get groceries in our town is Walmart, and it's across town (about 10 minutes). I don't shop there.
If the locations were reversed, I still wouldn't shop at Walmart, so I guess my answer is that I currently drive about four minutes, but if I had to I'd drive 10.
Within walking/biking distance from my apartment is a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe's, and a Safeway (plus a few natural foods stores and a farmer's market). Yet I travel about 15 minutes (driving; a hour biking or bus riding) every week to go to a grocery store where I can (almost always) get everything I want in one go (the exceptions necessitating sending my wife on a side trip to a Mexican or Japanese market on her way home from work).
If I didn't make the trip, I would go to Whole Foods, and Safeway, and the farmer's market (and the same side trips) every week, and I would spend more. Not worth it.
i go half an hour to my favorite asian shops. I live in the middle of LA and right by my house is a european grocery store, trader joes, whole foods, and a hispanic grocery store.
I recently moved further away from my favorite produce/international market, which is now 13 miles away. So now I only go about twice a month. Pretty much any other time I get food items from the larger nearby Acme (2.5 miles). However, if the sales are good enough, I'll also stop at Pathmark and/or Shoprite, which is in between the two.
Usually five minutes, maybe fifteen if I want to go to a very specific store or to the market.
By foot/or bike of course.
I live a 5 minute drive from a very good food coop which is where i do almost all of my shopping. I also can walk to a small corner store a few blocks away if I just need to pick up one thing. Once or twice a month I drive 15 minutes to Trader Joe's to stock up on certain things. I can't think of anything I can't get locally that would be worth driving 40 minutes for.
We live just under a kilometre from the two nearest supermarkets, and that's our default source for groceries; typically we walk, unless we know we're going to be getting a lot of heavy or bulky stuff. There's also a corner store that carries some okay (though not great) produce, a cheese shop, and two Portuguese butchers within a few minutes' walk that help to fill last-minute needs, too. We'll bike or drive, depending on how much else we need to do that day, to the St. Lawrence farmer's market on Saturdays once or twice a month - that's a bit more than 5km away.
I admit I'm pretty spoiled. We have a grocery store within walking distance -- four Southern California blocks, which is about a half-mile. But, we don't frequent it much since the prices are higher there than we'd like. We frequent another corporate chain that's about five to 10 minutes away by car.
There's also the twice-a-month trips to the natural food store, either the family-owned one or the small local chain, both of which are 10 minutes away. About every few months, I make the trek to the larger Asian markets and bakeries, which are 20 minutes away, but located near the homes of my extended family. I also get fresh fruit from my grandmother's yard (plums, persimmons, grapefruit, mandarins, etc.); she lives about 10 minutes away by car.
Lastly, there are the things available to me that I just don't hit up -- the neighborhood adjacent to mine is really diverse and has African, Vietnamese and Latino grocers and bakeries; there's also my employer-sponsored CSA; and my city's farmers market.
I will drive up to 20 miles, because just like falnfenix said, Wegmans isn't closer than that.
I'm in LA: I live within a mile of a two kosher markets (cheap produce!), a Smart & Final, a Fresh & Easy Express, an Indian spice market, and a weekly farmer's market. I usually manage pretty well between those stores.
Occasionally I'll pick up specific things from Trader Joe's or the Japanese market on my way back from work. Every couple of months we may drive a couple of miles to stock up at Costco or 99 Ranch.
On the rare occasion I will put up with an hour long bus ride to get to Chinatown for Vietnamese groceries when I can't wait for a weekend shopping trip with the BF.
Produce, grains, and beans all come from the Asian supermarket by my train station (1mi). Trader Joes is for meat, cheese, their little boxed goodies, yogurt, milk, flowers, wine, and beer (3mi). Giant (1mi, but hate it) or Safeway (3mi) for toiletries, King Arthur's flour (argh, I've become a snob), and yeast.
We generally don't shop around for price (though the Asian market's produce is way better and way cheaper than anything else), we shop for what we like and luckily live in a place that accommodates that.
I just moved to Maryland this week. There are two grocery stores within 5 miles and a few produce stands. This will suffice for most of the human food. Our rabbit is another story. I only feed him organic greens and there is nearly nothing organic in the grocery stores. One sells organic romaine (which was old when I saw it) for $6.99. Hellll no. I bought the exact same romaine for $2.99, fresh, in my hometown in PA. But he also needs parsley and kale which there was none (even in non-organic).
So for the rabbit, every week and a half, I will have to drive 30 minutes to a Whole Foods, because organic around the corner is not fresh or worth the price. Sure, you could say I am wasting gas money and I might as well just pay the insane price, but I can still do some shopping in Whole Foods I can't anywhere else as a non-dairy or soy user.
i am lucky to live in the suburbs, there's a major shopping sentre with two supermarkets near my work and a smaller one that is closer to home, so i can get stuff before or after work very easily. there's also a fruit and veg shop i can walk or ride my bike to during my lunchbreak (exercise with a goal!). but on 'my side of the river' (in hobart) there are few speciality shops, like my favourite italian providore, so once a month i drive there especially to stock up on my favourite pastas, tinned tomatos and little italian treats.
I walk one block to the grocery store, four blocks to the farmers market.
When it comes to proximity to grocery stores Austin is awesome. I live less than a mile from wheatsville co-op, Natural Grocers, and Central Market. The wednesday market is about a mile and half away and Whole Foods is a ten min drive (w/ no traffic) :-)
Most of the time I bike or walk to the store. It makes it easy to shop everyday. I went to school for three years in Arkansas before transferring to UT and I vowed never to walk into a Walmart ever again :-)
I live just a few minutes from a Kroger, and I get some bulk stuff (mostly flours) at a health food store very near my house. There's also a Whole Foods nearby, but I refuse to shop there on principle.
It really depends on where I'm going and what I'm looking for...Sometimes I'll do one full shopping trip to more than one store...Generally speaking I try to keep it at half an hour tops...If it's a place that's approximately 50 min away (one way) I consider that a special trip.
But I will say that I keep a cooler in my car, and I have several ice packs on hand just in case for long shopping trips.
When I was younger, my family lived in a Middle Eastern country with a ton of grocery stores. On our street alone, we had grocery stores that were literally 2 MINUTES WALK (not drive, walk) from each other. I think there were about four grocery stores on that half-mile road.
Where I live now, though, I don't have to travel more than 15 minutes for the grocery, which is great. Occasionally, I'll go to a specialty store, but not very often.
Currently I am a student in the Netherlands, and both of the most decent supermarkets are within 1.5km of my apartment. However, both are only adequate; poor selection of meats and vegetables one, the other is a hit & miss depending on what I'm searching for. Fortunately I have the added bonus of having a huge Asian supermarket which is great for a lot of vegetables, spices, herbs and so forth. As a bonus, there is also a local market twice a week with fresh produce and other stalls for such as cheese, fish, grains and whatnot.
Having these shops close by also means that I am very efficient with the way that I spend money on food, and almost anything goes to waste because I can buy my dinner ingredients on my way back from university!
Back at home, my parents live on the outskirts of Brussels, where we have about...5 different supermarkets within a 10 minute drive. Three of them being a 10-15 walk.
Generally we alternate between the two biggest ones, depending on what's on the menu for the week, as one has a better "international" selection.
I can't ever imagine being half an hour or more drive away from the supermarket...
Guess I am quite lucky living where I am!
I can walk to the local farmer's market, and there's also a punjab market in walking distance (the BEST for spices, tea, rice etc...). Other than that it's a 10 minute drive to a big box grocery and a 15 minute drive to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.
The one upside of my wife and I working 50 miles apart at our two jobs is that she is in an area with decent grocery stores and I have access to a BJ's Wholesale. She also has access to Trader Joe's but quite frankly I don't get their appeal (it's just more processed food!)
So the answer for us is between 3 and 50 miles but we never travel 50 miles *just* to get groceries.
The real question should be "How far does your food travel for you?"
I make regular trips to the grocery store, which I often walk to (though most people think that's crazy). But I try to get to a Whole Foods and/or Trader Joes every month or two. Both stores are about 15 or so miles. If I go a little farther, I can hit both at once because they're right next to each other.
I walk for 2 mins.
For a limited selection and "meh" produce, at slightly expensive prices: 30 min/20 miles,
For a good selection and high prices: 45 min/55 miles.
For good selection and low prices: 1.5 hr / 90 miles.
At other times of the year, I live 3 blocks from an organic co-op, and 10 from a supermarket.
I find that I spend less and eat more healthfully when I have to travel farther and provision more wisely.
And yes, I DO drive for groceries. :)
Except when I live in town, then I bike.
Niles? Do you go to Fresh Farms?! When I lived in Chicago (Andersonville) I always schlepped out to Fresh Farms because it is pretty great. Now that I live in Virginia I have Wegmans, but I still drive 30 minutes to get there.

French Camp livestock owners are on the alert after a pack of stray dogs — believed to be pit bulls — killed more than 200 goats in less than a week.
Since Friday, local residents have awoke to dozens — in one case, nearly 100 — goat carcasses scattered throughout their properties, left behind from vicious maulings in the middle of the night.

Woman On Trial for Wearing Pants
"The court gave Lubna the choice either to accept immunity from the UN or to waive that and go on with the trial," her lawyer Nabil Adeeb told AFP.
"I wish to resign from the UN, I wish this court case to continue," Hussein told a packed courtroom before the judge adjourned the case to August 4.
Hussein, who wears a hijab or Islamic headscarf, faces 40 lashes and a fine of 250 Sudanese pounds (100 dollars) if found guilty.
She wore the same clothes to court as when she was arrested -- moss-green slacks with a loose floral top and green headscarf.
She waved defiantly to crowds as she left the court.
Hussein said she was at a restaurant on July 3 when police came in and ordered 13 women wearing trousers to follow them to the police station.
Ten of the women were summoned to a police station two days later and were lashed 10 times each, according to Hussein.
The women whipped earlier this month included some from animist and Christian south Sudan where the Muslim north's Islamic or sharia law does not apply.
Scores of people crammed into the courthouse to hear the ruling, many of them female supporters -- some of them also wearing trousers out of solidarity.
Some held up placards on the street outside. "A woman is not for flogging," read one in Arabic.
"We are here to support Lubna, because this treatment of women is arbitrary and not correct," said Zuhal Mohammed Elamin, a law professor in Khartoum. "Women should not be humiliated in this manner."
Police have also cracked down on another woman journalist, Amal Habbani, after she wrote an article condemning Hussein's treatment.
Habbani wrote an article for Ajrass Al-Horreya newspaper following the arrests entitled "Lubna, a case of subduing a woman's body."
"I am waiting for a decision," Habbani told AFP after she was charged with defaming police, a charge which can carry a fine of up to several hundred thousand dollars.
The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information said the charge against Habbani stemmed from her claim that Hussein's arrest was "not about fashion but a political tactic to intimidate and terrorise opponents."
Unlike many other Arab countries, particularly in the Gulf, women have a prominent place in Sudanese public life. Nevertheless, human rights organisations say some of Sudan's laws discriminate against women.
In December 2007, British teacher Gillian Gibbons faced 40 lashes after being convicted of insulting religion by allowing her pupils to name a teddy bear Mohammed.
Gibbons, 54 at the time, was eventually sentenced to 15 days in prison but was pardoned by Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir following the mediation of two Muslim members of Britain's upper house of parliament.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – They were learning to become truck drivers but wound up in a nightmare. In detailed accounts to a federal agency, dozens of female employees of one of the nation's largest trucking companies told of being propositioned, groped and even assaulted by male drivers during cross-country training rides.
I was beaten, I was fondled, I was humiliated and I was taught nothing, one trainee, Ramona Villareal, said in a deposition.
But rather than leading to a workplace discrimination judgment, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's sexual harassment lawsuit against Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based CRST Van Expedited Inc., has backfired and put the agency on trial. The agency is coping with a court ruling that could make it more difficult and more expensive to pursue large discrimination cases against companies in the Midwest, if not nationwide.
And dozens of women who described an ordeal of unwanted and aggressive sexual conduct may receive no compensation for lost wages or emotional distress because of judicial criticism of the agency's investigation.
A February ruling in the case sets a new standard for workplace class-action lawsuits in the federal court district that includes Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Before filing a lawsuit on behalf of employees alleging similar discrimination, the agency will first have to investigate the merits of every worker's claim and attempt to reach settlements. If the agency doesn't, EEOC risks having the case dismissed.
The agency has argued that such a standard is impractical in cases involving hundreds or thousands of potential victims. At a minimum, the agency says, investigations would take longer and delay relief compared to other regions, where class-action cases can be filed with a lower standard. The EEOC has a deadline next week to determine whether to appeal.
We are an agency with limited resources already, and this is something that, if it stands, would make it even more challenging for us to address and vindicate discriminatory violations in the 8th Circuit, said P. David Lopez, general counsel for the EEOC.
But businesses say the ruling could stop unfair legal tactics and prevent unnecessary and expensive litigation.
It's incredibly significant, said Chicago lawyer Gerald Maatman, who represents companies sued by the EEOC. It is a signal by the federal courts that the tactics the EEOC has been using over the last several years may be improper.
The ruling came as the agency has made systemic discrimination cases – those involving many employees – a larger enforcement priority.
The EEOC investigates 100,000 complaints of workplace discrimination annually and recovered more than $450 million for employees last year.
The agency's tactics have rattled the business community, which says lawsuits can cost millions of dollars and destroy reputations.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the CRST case denouncing EEOC's tactics and calling for the agency to be more cooperative with industry.
