Wow, I'm glad she's OK!
If you're prepared to shop often, panniers and a basket can haul an awful lot of groceries. I bring home milk, wine, cereal, bananas -- all that stuff. But I don't carry a whole week worth of groceries at a time. How far is the grocery store? I'm admittedly spoiled because we have two mediocre stores within easy walking distance, and Whole Foods is a 2.5-mile roundtrip if I go the easiest biking way (it would be less than two if I rode the direct, STREET OF VEHICULAR DEATH route, but I'm not up for that!).
