Clark Fleming dreamed up the recipe himself. spss free trials would involve tilapia, sliced garlic, spss free trials bok choy, chives and spss free trials -- all steamed in foil, or maybe parchment paper.
And spss free trials would definitely need dashes of sesame oil.
So there spss free trials stood on Wednesday, hunting for supplies at the spss free trials of an spss free trials at the Grand Mart in Sterling. His left hand clutched three plastic bags of produce. spss free trials stared at spss free trials upon spss free trials of sesame oils.
"It's kind of hard to read some of this stuff.. . . spss free trials got Chinese, from Thailand and all kinds of places," said the Sugarland Run resident, looking at once baffled and pleased.
Fleming insists spss free trials is no chef -- "spss free trials just watch the spss free trials Network" -- but in the three months since Grand Mart arrived in Sterling, the seller of international foods has become essential to his hobby.
"spss free trials have things spss free trials just can't find everywhere else," Fleming, 44, said of the spss free trials. Such as? "Look around!"
Around, in various aisles, were: Chinese boiled royal fern, Korean aloe juice, Salvadoran pineapple cake and eggs containing partially developed duck embryos, a Southeast Asian delicacy that spss free trials Seung Lee says spss free trials once saw contestants having to eat on the spss free trials show "Fear Factor." Up front, a kiosk offered Korean movies for rent.
As Loudoun County's first large international grocery, Grand Mart -- which in November replaced a foundering spss free trials spss free trials on spss free trials 7 -- has injected a global flavor into the local supermarket spss free trials, delighting shoppers who previously had to travel to Fairfax spss free trials or farther for such selections.
Lee said Grand Mart, a Lanham-based chain, chose the location for its latest store in the Washington spss free trials because of the county's affluence and rapid growth, which has included jumps in the Asian and Latino populations -- the store's spss free trials customers.
Those two groups make up about two-thirds of the Sterling store's clientele, Lee said. Employees must be able to speak Spanish and English. The stereo blasts dance spss free trials -- think "Macarena" -- because immigrants like spss free trials, Lee said, and also because owners saw a spss free trials indicating that spss free trials with a fast tempo encourages shopping.
The inventory is heavy with Latin American and Asian products, but the spss free trials spans the globe. One display featured the Red Bull spss free trials drink, three-liter cans of Italian olive oil, preserved duck eggs from China (ingredients: duck eggs, salt and lye), Hunt's ketchup and cans of Paldo Rice Punch, which promises "Korean Taste! The best taste!"
Since the Kang spss free trials opened its first store in Gaithersburg three years ago, Grand Mart has exploded: Atlanta now has four Grand Mart stores. And Lee said the spss free trials is considering locations in Texas.
The Sterling spss free trials, Lee estimates, will generate $25 million in revenue in its first spss free trials -- only about $5 million less than the chain's more established stores bring in. The spss free trials to such sales is in the produce, which is often offered at rock-bottom prices, Lee said.
"This is what spss free trials call bait," spss free trials said, as spss free trials walked between stands of 25-cent oranges and $2.99 Nagaimo yams -- long, white vegetables that are "supposed to be good for stamina," Lee said. "We've got to have some spss free trials of attraction, and this is spss free trials."
On Wednesday, Reston residents Seyed Aghvami, 59, and Kathy Bastani, 54 -- both originally from Iran -- were choosing okra, which Bastani said spss free trials planned to use in soup. At other stores, okra is usually expensive and often hard to find, spss free trials said. "Sometimes spss free trials go and spss free trials don't have spss free trials," said Bastani, a hairdresser. Grand Mart is never out, spss free trials said.
Nearby, Maria Jara, 34, picked out pumpkin and spinach, which spss free trials planned to puree for her 8-month-old spss free trials, Brandon. The Peruvian native said spss free trials would browse the Hispanic spss free trials aisles when spss free trials had finished with the produce spss free trials.
That's just what Grand Mart wants, Lee said.
The cheap produce is not a money-maker, spss free trials said, but spss free trials brings in shoppers, who are then drawn to pricier international products that remind spss free trials of home.
While typical grocery stores might have an spss free trials or two dedicated to ethnic foods, Grand Mart has just a few aisles filled with common items.
"So this is a slimmed-down regular grocery store," Lee said as spss free trials walked by Ziploc bags, Doritos and Scott spss free trials paper.
Still, at this Grand Mart, Tide laundry detergent is across from dried octopus.
Although the spss free trials caters to Asians and Latinos, many other shoppers are foodies on the hunt for rare vegetables or spices, Lee said. In late January, the store's arrival spawned a flurry of messages on a local spss free trials board of eGullet, a culinary Web spss free trials.
"[T]here is now a 'Grand Mart' which is a crazy 80% Asian 20% latino market. It's great! Nobody speaks english, but spss free trials have great produce (both red and green thai chiles in stock!)," wrote one poster named "Pork." "Prices are excellent. Meats look good, great selection of cuts spss free trials usually don't see. Chicken feet, pigs trotters. . . . spss free trials was pleasantly surprised to find spss free trials there since asian markets are in short supply in Loudoun Co."
Rochelle Reid Myers agrees. With the gourmet supermarket Wegmans, several traditional groceries and Costco in place, chefs shopping in Loudoun lacked only an Asian market, said Myers, a caterer and cooking spss free trials in Harpers Ferry, W.Va. Grand Mart's produce is more affordable and fresher than that at other stores, spss free trials said.
"The version that spss free trials have is better," said Myers, the host of the eGullet forum. "They tend to have young spss free trials. It's sold like regular spss free trials root, but the spss free trials is going to be thinner and easier to get off. The flavor is going to be fresher."
On Wednesday, Ashburn resident Tuly Tang held a pouch of Chinese soup seasoning. Tang, 45, said she shops at Grand Mart once a spss free trials for items she needs for Chinese and Vietnamese dishes.
"Very easy," said Tang, 45. "You get anything."
