Continued shopping lessons

We ventured out again today for more food.  It seems like we eat it as fast as we bring it home!  We are slowly laying in some additional stocks of food so we have a few days when shopping is not required.  (Tomorrow is our first Sunday and we don't know what is open...) The challenge is that much of the food has no preservatives, so what you purchase you need to eat relatively quickly. (This is not a bad thing, but requires new shopping habits).  We're slowly getting some less perishable items to use now and then.  There is a huge variety of nuts and dried fruits available.  There are canned foods, but these are of course heavy to carry.  I've been hunting for bread crumbs to cook with and haven't had any luck yet, but today I found some saltine-like crackers that I think may work.  Its kind of fun to see where some of the food comes from.  The oranges are all from Spain, and every store (even our tiny corner one) has lots of kiwi fruit from somewhere... -Carolyn

  1. Next time look for "bułka tarta" - it's usually located either near bread section or flour section.
