We had family date night tonight. There is a Carrefour grocery store in the basement of the mall next to the hotel we are in, and it was quite a treat to wander through it for an hour. The place is huge, and more like a small WalMart than your typical Kroger or Publix. They sell everything from computers to fine cooking pots, lots of raw mystery meat, 20 lb bags of rice and CHEERIOS! That's right, Dean can enjoy his favorite snack again.
A box of Cheerios costs approx $4.00, about the same as a box at home that's not on sale.(I used to only buy cereal at Publix when it was BOGO).
We were also excited to find baby food in jars. The brand is Heinz, which we think is the same company famous for ketchup. I don't remember ever seeing baby food made by Heinz in the U.S. Everything is written in Mandarin except a brief description on the back, but the pictures on the front pretty much identify what's inside.
There isn't a huge selection, but we bought Dean 4 kinds to try with the following descriptions: apple/pumpkin/date paste, salmon/pumpkin paste, carrot/tuna paste and fruit juice/oat paste. Should be fun to see how he likes them.
We also found an aisle of candy, including small bags of peanut M&Ms and Dove chocolate. YUM! My favorite discovery, however, was a section of cheese made by land o lakes imported from USA.
On another note, we are sending love and well wishes to our niece Mia who fell and broke her collarbone last Thursday. Her Dr says she will heal quickly. We love you baby girl, and we want to hear that you're busy crawling into trouble again very soon!!
Thank goodness for skype, which allowed us to call and wish her well + sing happy birthday to my brother Andy for about a penny a minute. I (heart) technology.
