It's saturday here and I'm working from home. Got me a russian roll and chippies (or french fries). Yum.
I just made the Saturday post! It's 5:30 here. What is a Russian roll?
A Russian Sausage is a South African imitation of the Polish Kielbasa that was adapted by early European immigrants in South Africa. So a Russian Roll is pretty much a Hot Dog Roll but with a Russian Sausage instead
Happy Friday! Today I'm having fun making mixtapes with the reel to reel deck I found at the thrift shop recently. Amazing how good it sounds for a 50+ year old machine and tapes. I just love how mechanical and analogue it is.
I got pasta :3. And cake. The cake is made from biscuits which is cool ^^
I had to watch a documentary last night. It was a bit slow, so I started playing with the play-doh kit. I particularly like the second one.
These are so pretty! It looks like a lot of fun.
We're lucky that we have several. We'll probably frequent one of the Hispanic stores, but we also have some Asian markets, and a couple of Halal and African markets.
There is a C-Town sorta-close. It's still a chain, but C-Town is more like a franchise than a top-down grocery chain; the idea is that each store can tailor its products to their locality, which makes it a perfect model for immigrant communities.
There's also an Indian store that, if you ever want to experience choice paralysis, has every type and brand of rice ever grown.
