small thoughts
I didn't think any of these really warranted their own post.
1. A couple of weeks ago, Federal had bogo bacon and cheap stuffed pork chops. Swine flu creates a global freak-out, and I reap all the benefits.
2. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend Wolfram|Alpha
for when you need facts instead of web pages. It does math conversions geography nutrition chemistry stocks genetics and probably more.
3. I've probably written about Spar's before - if you eat meat and you haven't been there yet, don't wait until after barbeque season is over. They have a good selection of 'normal' foods - sausages for grilling, cold cuts, sandwich cheeses, slab bacon, ribs - and some Extremely European items just kind of mixed in. They've got blood & tongue, two kinds of Krakauer, three kinds of head cheese, probably half a dozen kinds of salami, and a wide variety of cheeses with uninformative names. I was about to get the horseradish cheddar when I thought - let's go with the German butter cheese. For future reference: it's pretty mild but HOLY CRAP IT STINKS.
4. The woman at Spar's gave me a slice of Hungarian head cheese for being so well-behaved.

Just about every time I drive by Spars, I think I should stop and take a look. The Lovely Lettuce a.k.a. @leetee (the real vegetarian in our home) has threatened to go in there and buy me some keilbasa since I seem unable to do so myself.
