The grocery store was unlike anything she had seen in Texas. Bins of fruit and vegetables lined the sidewalk, forming narrow entrances into the market. Inside, the aisles were crowded, no inch of space wasted. In the fresh vegetables and fruit section she was surrounded by piles of romaine and red-leaf lettuce, velvety thick green kale that gave away to fuzzy kiwi and mounds of apples. Standing with her eyes closed, Portia waited a second, trying not to panic. Then, realizing there was no help for it, she gave in to the knowing, not to the fluke meal inspired by Gabriel Kane, but to the chocolate cake and roast that had hit her earlier. She started picking out vegetables. Cauliflower that she would top with Gruyere and cheddar cheeses; spinach she would flash fry with garlic and olive oil. In the meat department, she asked for a standing rib roast to serve eight. Then she stopped. \"No,\" she said to the butcher, her eyes half-closed in concentration, \"just give me enough for four.\" Portia made it through the store in record time. Herbs, spices. Eggs, flour. Baking soda. A laundry of staples. At the last second, she realized she needed to make a chowder. Crab and corn with a dash of cayenne pepper. Hot, spicy.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Linda Francis Lee" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/linda-francis-lee/next-thing-she-knew-portia-hurried-into-the-fairway-market-on/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71e/linda-francis-lee-23384_chocolate-cake_next-thing-she-knew-portia-hurried-into_1749681.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71e/linda-francis-lee-23384_chocolate-cake_next-thing-she-knew-portia-hurried-into_1749681.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/71e/linda-francis-lee-23384_chocolate-cake_next-thing-she-knew-portia-hurried-into_1749681.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Next thing she knew, Portia hurried into the Fairway Market on Broadway.
