SC - lard, was Which books?

[Joyce A. Baldwin]

Actually, Raleigh-Durham isn't  _really_  the South.  It is what one of my
friends picturesquely calls a "techno-slum."  Full of prosperous
overcrowded techno-yuppies, many of whom are foodies, so actually the
availability of many substances is pretty good.  But there is also an
increasing Hispanic population to cater to said techno-yuppies, so I will
check out the local tiendas. Thanks for the suggestion!

I will also check out Food Lion again as Bonne suggested - my nose tends to
block a number of items (I don't understand why, it really isn't that big).
 I may have missed it besides I mostly shop at Krogers as it's closer and
is 24 hrs.  

Thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions.
