On Friday, January 16, 2009, the group will romp around Houston Heights. We will visit Penzey’s Spices, a specialty store with whole and ground spices galore, and Canino's Produce, a giant farmers' market with a tremendous selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, vinegars, and even milk and eggs. Lunch at a local cafe will conclude our day.
