Are you ready for the new Whole Foods in Chevy Chase

I love going to Whole foods and to confess very much for the opportunity to do some food tasting. The closes tone to me is in Kentlands Gaithersburg. The opening of grocery stores are getting more social. You may have read about the Social Safeway.  I love the fact that grocery stores have begun to offer free wi-fi

Read about the activities at the new Whole foods from their Social Media release. Don’t miss reading about the event with Lucie Snodgrass author of Dishing up Maryland on May 21st. I will be out of town but invite anyone attending this event to write a guest post for me in exchange for a Blogging Tips book by Lorelle Van Fossen.
