Germany vs. Poland

My grandparents are from Germany so I have every right to ...well, you know, "root" for them. But I live in Poland. I rooted for Poland and I really felt it every time when they were close or weren't (as was more often the case).

Thank the gods for Alma. It's half Fred Meyers and half Trader Joe's. Not only do they have a pretty good selection of cheeses, teas, chips, etc ...but they deliver and, of course, you can order online. As a result right now I am eating imported Irish Cheddar (odd, isn't that?), Jacobean Sage Derby and some cheese we bought back from Norway, namely ...Norwegian Brunost (brown cheese).

The other day we were having proper tortilla chips and salsa and washing it down with Australian Chardonnay and Tonic. Also a few stout beers. All from Alma.

So, thank you, Alma, for selling stuff to people with money who enjoy spending it on little luxuries.
