“What’s the point of going out? We’re just going to wind up back here anyway.” – Homer Simpson


Bon Noël from the Dolins! Danielle and I did our weekly shopping trip to our local French grocery store with a not so normal weekly shopping list. Our irregular items consisted of Half ‘n Half, powdered sugar, and bacon.

Good news : We found sour cream.

Bad news: We thought it was Half n’ Half and didn’t find out it was sour cream until we stirred it into our alfredo sauce last night. For a country that prides itself with its many cow pastures, there is a surprising lack of varying milk based products in the stores.

Good news: We found powdered sugar.

Bad news: It comes in a creepy container. 

Good news: We found bacon.

Bad news: It has bones in it. Weird.

Good news: We found Duff beer from The Simpsons!

Bad news: No bad news.  We even found a good English ale as well! It is indeed a merry Christmas for John. 

We’re still searching for the elusive baking soda, alias "Bicarbonate du soude"…You can run, but you can’t hide…
