Some days I could swear I am the only english speaking person in the store. It is huge and totally unique. They have an aisle for each country. We have tried all kinds of weird things from there. My Japanese DIL was thrilled that she could find everything she needed there to make some Japanese dishes for us.
Irishrose you said you love fires but hate to make them. My sister just converted her wood fireplace to gas, they love it. Cindy great loss. WOW. My weight seems to be stuck. I have upped my exercise and have been weighing and measuring everything to check my portion size. Hopefully I will be down on Saturday.
