you can just never have too much SPAM

Yes, folks, that mysterious meat product from Austin, Minnesota appears on the grocery shelves in even the most remote regions of SK ~ SPAM, SPAM with bacon, SPAM with garlic, SPAM with god-knows-what …. small world, isn’t it?

There are a few other familiar products ~ Starbucks bottled coffee, Pantene shampoo, Heineken and Budweiser, Diet Coke (Coke Lite – close enough)  …   I am definitely looking forward to going into the “big city” so we can go to a Western-style food market and stock up on a few supplies.  I would like to find a “normal” bottle of salad dressing, like Ranch or Italian.  I would like to find some Campbell’s soup and a box of saltine crackers, a jar of spaghetti sauce, or maybe something really wacky like mayonnaise or refried beans.   Cheese is extraordinarily expensive here, and I suspect it is not quite the same as the Wisconsin products.  What I am really hankering for is a box of plain ol’ cereal ~ Cheerios or some bran flakes ~ any cereal that does not have weird nuts and fruits in it.   

In the meantime, my diet consists primarily of rice and over-cooked vegetables, toast and peanut butter, coffee and orange juice.  You’re right, Andree ~ the liquid diet may be the best option.

    Hey — you mentioned Cheerios and General Mills pops up to offer you a coupon. What a great company!
