Discovery Day

Today I decided to just go on discovery trip to the two grocery stores that we now shop at.  Since neither one has all items I made a list of things I use and might use in some recipes I am considering for the week.  I then went to both grocery stores to see what I could discover.  Here are my results:

green onions--neither carry green onions, but one did carry chives.
minced garlic--one carried dried minced garlic, but neither carried the jar ones like i usually buy.
real Miracle Whip--one store carries real miracle whip.  Our first shopping trip I picked up a jar of Miracle Whip, but when I tasted it, it was disgusting.  After talking to sisters in our ward they explained that you have to look for ones that are from the US.  I found some today.  YES!
Pickles--we had looked a couple of days ago at a smaller store and no luck.  Today I actually found some Vlasic pickles
PAM-  again one store had it.
H. N. Cherrios--one store had them and also Rice Krispies.
Bush Beans--One of my favorite beans and I found them.
Doritos, Ruffles, Pringles--they have them.
Tapioca--found it.  Kira would appreciate that.
Hersheys chocolate syrup and caramel syrup--You boys would appreciate that to go on the ice cream.  Philippines favorite brand of ice cream is called Magnolia  (ha, ha).


A few things I can't find:

diced green chilies
rotel tomatoes--I guess no queso for us
enchilada sauce or seasoning packets
ground turkey
sprinkles--Dad is stressed that I can't find sprinkles especially since I found the chocolate pudding.

It is pretty sad that most of my blogs deal with groceries.  That pretty much tells you what my days are like.  Pretty boring.  But I do get a lot of indexing done--another silver lining.
