I went food shopping the other night to have a nosey. It was a Saturday night too, wow how life has changed in 10 or even 5 years. My Saturday night highlight is a trip to my new American neighborhood Supermarket!
Well, the Munchkin was snoozing her head off in bed. Soldier was busy hanging pictures to make our apartment more homely and there was nada on the TV so i thought, it's open 24 hours, might as well and go to avoid the rush ! ;-)
So there i was with my trolley, better known as "cart" over here moving up and down the ailes with a fine tooth comb to detect if brands i know maybe have different packaging and yet the product is still the same. Badly need to find some Barney beans or Dora beans or even Shrek beans for the little Munchkin, but do you think they had them? Not quite, but something similar and i got away with it yesterday when i gave them to her for lunch.
I learned that the Fruit and Veg section is better known in these parts as the "Produce" section. And low and behold, as i'm driving the cart round the Produce section what happens but a wonderful spontaneous water fall, all over the greens - cucumbers, kale, cabbage etc. Yes at regular intervals the automatic sprayers come out (did i say waterfall) to pour a nice fine mist on the fresh food. Great idea as long as you don't get your nosey head caught under it.
Was also looking for Chicken and White Wine soup that i buy all the time in TESCO, well they had 50 million different types of Campbell's soup but do you think they had that flavour? No sireeee, so had to settle for just Chicken or just Mushroom to make my old favourite......"Chicken in White Wine Sauce". Of course i can just throw in half a bottle of white wine for flavour - YUM! Problem solved :-)
