Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we went. DH had to work half the weekend away, but we managed to stretch our new car's wheels and took a road trip to Kenosha yesterday.
After enjoying real thin crust ZA, only found in K-town, we stopped at Tenuta's Deli. This is another reason why I can't live in Kenosha. Too many yummy foods!
DH has not so fond memories of having to go into Tenuta's as a child. He's told us it was then a very smelly place, probably from all of the stinky cheeses. Now it has expanded to a fine specialty store with not only cheeses and meats, but all kinds of ethnic baking goodies.
Their chocolate covered candy collection is to die for. No where else have I discovered a chocolate covered almond covered in as much chocolate goodness as at Tenuta's. Don't get me started on the chocolate covered dried cranberries! (Seriously, don't get me started because I won't stop.)
The boys got a kick out of discovering cans of sliced octopus and conch. Hmmm.. Christmas stocking stuffers? LOL! Actually DS13 has requested a huge block of white chocolate for his stocking this year. What is it about bulk food that is so appealing?

Sounds like a great first road-trip with the new car!! We have places we travel to just for the food - wish we had a Tenuta's Deli down here! One of our weaknesses is Mazzaro's Italian Market. http://www.mazzarosmarket.com/ Yum!!
That deli sounds like a real treasure!
Glad your new car's 1st road trip was a yummy one.
One day we need to meet in Kenosha!!! We can make a day of it, Chick-fil-a for lunch then shopping and then pizza for dinner!!! I am running for my calendar!!
Great road trip and congrats on the car! :)
Sounds like alot of fun and a chocoholics dream. Those would be interesting stocking stuffers, LOl
My sister used to buy those huge blocks of white chocolate to snack on. : )
The octopus sounds interesting......it would be cool to buy, just to be able to say you'd had it. ; )
