Went to the market once again(pics will be up soon). Wish we had one like this in the Wisco.
We also went to the U.S. Embassy here where they continued to scare us shitless about pick-pocketers and the date rape. I don't know what their plans are here, but at this rate no one will see the outside of their apartment. Oh but wait, we aren't safe there either, we do have earth quakes...great. It's nice to know that these dangers are out there, but at the extent that we have to hear them is a little ridiculous.
Well on the plate for this evening we have salad. A little olive oil for dressing. Have to eat the rest of our spinach up before it goes bad. Anyone know what a kilo of spinach looks like? Imagine 2 plastic pick 'n' save bags filled to the top. Now imagine what that would cost in the U.S. It's only .65 euros here. I'll insert room for your jealousy here_____________________. Probably not enough space. I've never had better produce in my life, especially the oranges, godsent.
To go out or not to go out, that is the topic of this evening, and after a much needed nap I'm ready to raise my hand in the air, close fisted, and yes, fist pump it up.
I am jealous. I really would like to get great oranges here. Once in awhile we might hit a great box of clementines in the winter but that is it. We Americans have traded taste for beauty. Another factor to the whole American diet thing. We eat beautiful food but the taste is lacking so we aren't satisfied and eat more!
