Recently, a friend texted to ask if I knew where she could get Harissa; she was planning on trying…read moreout some Moroccan recipes. I continued my drive down Jordan Lane, pulled over at JaMo's, walked in and photographed a can, and sent that to her, along with the price. ...Which is about ¼ of its cost at Williams-Sonoma. I compared. JaMo's is the "sister location" of the JaMo's coffeehouse/café just down a little and across the street. That establishment was named for the husband-and-wife team of JAmie Miernick and MOrgan Andriulli, who'd closed down Five Points Espresso to move here in the mid-90's...when they sold to Mohammed Almohthsib, he kept the name. So it's "JAY-MOES," for point of reference, even if they don't answer the phone that way. Anyway. It should come as no surprise that, in addition to the aforementioned Harissa, lovers of Levantine and Gulf Country cuisine will also find Sumac, Za'atar, Ra's al Hanout, Pomegranate Molasses, and Oud (Agarwood Powder); Dried Lemons; Mint, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Pussy Willow (?!?!) Waters; and a wealth of more typical spices and additives. There are several types of Turkish Delight or Nougat candies; Ma'amoul (which may hold you till someone can make you the real thing); Mikado Čokolada from Croatia and Ülker™ Çikolata from Turkey; and even a few English offerings (though, in my attempts to read the fine print, they were apparently produced in Africa). Call ahead to see what's come in from their bakery partners: at one time or another, you'll find fresh Pita, Sangak, Barbari, and/or Lavash. They can also clue you in to when fresh produce arrives. Visit the refrigerated/freezer cases for Halloumi, Kashkaval, Bulgarian Feta, Labneh, Plain Yogurt, and Yogurt Sodas; Halal Meats; and Zereshk (Barberries). A Turkish acquaintance of mine wishes, however, that they had more TURKISH cheeses. Dried and canned items include Podravka™ Soups (Croatia); Va-Va™ Zakuska (Red Pepper "Salsa" from Macedonia); Sadaf™ Khoresh Gheimeh. There's a very nice Tea/Coffee area, where you'll also find a variety of Tea and Coffee glasses and cups. Nearby are nicely stocked shelves offering flavored tobaccos to go with the hookahs they offer!

My Sorority Sister's favorite (and her entire family's favorite) syrup is Golden Eagle syrup. "The…read moreGolden Eagle" theme is "Pride of Alabama," and Star Market is one of the few stores that carries Golden Eagle syrup. Another Sorority Sister and I went to Star yesterday to get Melissa two jars of Golden Eagle. In general, any sauce or unique condiment you want is generally available at Star Market! Hubs and I love "Bishop's 3 'N' 1 Stuff Barbecue Sauce" and it's only available at Star Market. Try Bishop's it's good on any type of meat! We browsed around a little and per usual, their meat department was well stocked and well displayed. Hubs did not want a Terry's pizza this time and I by passed that little department in the back. Star Market carries unique and regional things like delicious pimento cheeses and I think I've seen Chicken Salad Chick for sale in Star, also. Sister and I wine shopped because Star Market typically carried a great selection of inexpensive unoaked white wines (Simply Naked was the label and they make unoaked Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) that I enjoyed and now they don't appear to carry the Simply Naked brand. We did get a chilled Kim Crawford unoaked Chardonnay which was good! The staff are always friendly and helpful and most importantly chatty as you check out at Star Market. For Terry's Pizza (and Terry's lasagna) either baked at Star or take and bake; a great variety of delicious meats; good wine selection; and unique sauces, condiments, and refrigerated local items, definitely go to Star Super Market. Star is locally owned and operated and has served this region since 1944.

I visited their current location on Wellman Ave., next to the laundromat last week, and was greeted by two of the friendliest young ladies on the planet as well as an even friendlier regular customer who was picking up some items and chatting away with me. The store has cute kitchen towels with sayings on them that would be fun gifts, various jams/spreads/jellies that looked to be unique specialty labels [not the stuff you find in Kroger], some lovely tableware such as ceramic serving plates and bowls, serving pieces, and drinkware, a tightly curated wine selection with maybe 4 selections, a reach in cooler in the back with various "take and bake" selections that I didn't take the time to peruse. From their website I learned they will create gift baskets for you; the offer a wedding registry with absolutely lovely items from which to select; baby registries; gift cards. To sum it up - this cozy shop packs a big punch! Through their website they offer 6,634 gifts and products from 32 designers and brands! Wow, that's a lot! they offer all price ranges from $10.00 shot glasses to $3,500.00 for a 96 x 24-inch triptych by Nicolette Mayer. I understand their meal offerings better since visiting their website! I was especially happy to see the offer a Thanksgiving meal option, which is so nice that time of year! I miss the "take and reheat" option Pauli's used to offer! I'm hopeful Walker's will be just as delicious! They offer dishes from 3 unique caterers on Tues., Wed., and Thurs. Tuesday is "Catering by Narvell" and the offerings are: rotini bake, shrimp salad, chicken pasta salad and sides of lima beans and marinated tomatoes. Wednesday is "Little Dipper Cafe," and their offerings are the following sandwiches: pimento cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad. Also, cobb salad with ranch, strawberry feta almond salad and the following entrees: chicken pesto casserole beef stroganoff, ham and gouda sliders, BBQ port sliders, and southwest quiche. Thursday is "Vic's Catering" offering: chicken spaghetti, chicken salad, smoked gouda pimento cheese. Do visit Walker's market. You won't find a friendlier staff! I'm looking forward to returning and purchasing some of their dishes - they sound delightful, seasonal and delicious!
