Yay for tasty foods from around the world!

When I first visited Sweden I loved the crisp flatbreads served in great variety everywhere. On my last day there I went to a grocery store and grabbed a package of them to bring home, because I wanted "a taste of Sweden" as a souvenir.

Now you can buy them in grocery stores here in Sunnyvale. Yay!

I remember being surprised just after I moved back from France that Little Schoolboys and Nutella had apparently followed me. I loved les petits-écoliers. If only the streetside crêpe vendors had followed me too! And now I can get crispbreads.

A slice of Wasa "fiber rye" and a slice of aged Swiss cheese... delicious.

There never is. ;-) My greatest accomplishment, when I was living there, was to have people start to guess my nationality as German. The accent is ineradicable, but at least I had hopped over to a different branch of the language tree. And that was once I started wearing different clothing and all. I wasn't even too far from the right size to pass for a Parisian woman -- rail-thin and not very tall. Nope, there's just no disguising it. :-)
