States' Side Grocery Adventure

Groceries purchased to take overseas are a lot like a person's stomachs final request... what is purchased says a lot about what that person really values! (like Frosted Mini Wheats for me)

So... just a couple days till I am heading back to Italy... it's 3am and time for a WalMart grocery run! Before leaving Italy I had a few requests for foods not found in Italy...so here's what I got to take over the pond!

Maple Syrup / Instant Hungry Jack Pancake mix - A student in Torino said he had always wondered about it and would like to try it with...(he couldn't think of the right word)...pancakes!

Football (American) - I have never seen one in Italy (though they might be found somewhere)

Fajita Seasoning - A key ingridient for me... which is not even found in Michigan let alone Italy

Penut Butter - Another thing Italians are often curious about but is not readily found in Italy

Speed Stick, Body Wash, Tooth Paste, and 2 toothbrushes - Because I a dummy and I thought I forgot them at my friends apartment who got married... then I actually left the bag of replacements at WalMart (thanks Marcus for the gift card)... then after going back to WalMart the next day I found all of my toiletries which I had just repurchased in the trunk of the car I am driving (Thanks Kelly for the loaner car! It pays to have friends get married).

Mezmerized by the fluorescent lights and dog tired at about 5am I wrapped up my last minute States Side shopping! I am ready to fly! ...if I can get some help zipping up my suitcase!
