Yum!
I went grocery shopping with
tsiankiio. I was hungry, so I wond up getting some organic multigrain bread, two things of fresh strawberries, adn a rotissery chicken. Yum! now I have had lunch and more or less put stuff away. I need to repackage my meat, but I'll do that toiight. Now I am going back to campus. I will pop in and see Dr. D, and then go up to the rare book room to see what all they will let me look at today. Woooooh. I pretty much have to wrote that paper this weekend, so the sonner I can start *writing* the better. I think my topic is interesteing, but I don't really have the resources to work on it. All the relavant books are in hard-to-access (for me, anyway) collections.
Tonight: Diablotin! Eek!

Grocery quirks

I have noticed a few strange little things here, on the grocery/food fronts.
First, is that I have only ever seen canned apple juice here once. But canned *orange* juice seems pretty standard. I think that is flat out bizzare. But people look at me strangely if I mention canned apple juice.
Second is that 90% of all ice cream comes if cardbord tubs, rather than plastic tubs. Only the absolute cheapest stuff comes in plastic, and I suspect that is because of the weight. Cardboard can only hold so much, you know?
And does anyone know when they started putting pull-tabs on Campbells soup cans? I mean, how lazy is that? :o
Also, not a grocery per sey... But since they don't sell Mars bars over here (too similar to another chocolate bar, I've heard, but I can't remember which one), they have *Snickers* with almonds instead. But really, it is Mars with almonds. Yum!
That's all I can remember at the moment, but I am sure there are other things.
