yeh, like there are no ethnic restaurants or groceries in her area

She sure did let that goat/kid reference fly right over her head. LOL

You say that like *every* town in the US has an ethnic grocery store. Got
news for you, that's not necessarily the case. (Same goes for farmer's
markets.)

There is a Mexican market about 6 miles from me. No one speaks English and
I don't speak Spanish so I only buy things there on rare occasions. (Money
translates, regardless.) There are no Chinese or otherwise Asian markets
nearby. Restaurants? There are plenty of Thai restaurants around, although
I couldn't tell you why.

The "farmers market" here is a roaming market. It's only open one day a
week for a couple of hours before they tear down and set up in the next
town. If you blink (or sleep late) you'll miss it. There are a couple of
farm stands in the area but they only sell on Friday and Saturday. When I
drove past the vegetable market which used to be open 7 days a week, then
five, then sporadically... the parking lot was cordoned off. Uh oh. Looks
like they're going out of business after 40 years. Point being, not
everyone has the same thing available everywhere.
