Lees in France

If you were to follow me around a grocery store you would notice that I talk ALOT to myself OUTLOUD. Maybe this is a form of processing what is all around me. Maybe I am taking Gandalf’s words to heart,

“…I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to…”  

Sometimes I think the reason grocery shopping takes me so long is because I still do not know what items are found in which stores. I often come across different items and snap their photos. Photos of mainly interesting looking food or food I do not think I would ever buy, eat or know how to prepare.

Occasionally it is a picture of how things are stacked that causes me to notice. For example how one store stacks their eggs. Luckily my kids are not wandering toddlers or this could be very tempting to knock over. (I hear the USA is over $7 for a dozen eggs!!!!!)

Have you ever wanted to drive a chariot? I never thought much about actually standing in one being lead by a horse around a ring, but it did happen. Well at Ikea you can return your chariot right here!!! AWESOME!

I am amazed at the details and patterns in this food. While I am not a Wikipedia fan this is the only information I could quickly find on this veggie, Romanesco broccoli is an edible flower bud of the species Brassica Oleracea. It is chartreuse in color, and has a form naturally approximating a fractal. When compared to a traditional cauliflower, it has a firmer texture and delicate, nutty flavor. Wikipedia

Lastly Legos and Playmobil toys are huge here and a tad cheaper most of the time than back home.
