My shopping hero

We came back home with the kids after our first bus journey, then David ventured out in another direction to the Tesco (another food supermarket) with a list of food items.  We are slowly stocking the kitchen, although with having to carry it all by hand on a bus, we are augmenting our supplies slowly.  David combed every aisle of the store multiple times attempting to read and decipher pictures on packages of food items that look very different from what we are used to.  At one point he called me and spelled out words on different spice packages;  I typed them into Google translate and we got what we needed!  (Pictures of different spices with green leaves weren't very helpful - although the onion was identifiable).  The odd thing is, all the spices come in little paper packages like taco seasoning, not in separate shaker bottles.  I'm sure a store sells spice containers to transfer the opened packages into, but we haven't found them yet. -Carolyn
