Spanish fly

We're back from Spain. More details and photos to come, but it was an amazing experience which has forever changed us.

Especially Eli.

They think they've got us figured out...

Do you ever look at the sponsored links that show up in Gmail and scratch your head? Check out the list of links I got to the right of an email thread on brunch plans:




















Apparently brunch consumption is somehow linked to luxury apartments and French food and getting hitched. Or what about this set of links, displayed next to a thread about the Kanye West video "Throw Some D's" (not making this a hyperlink was a conscious choice)... Throw pillows? Balloon popping video??

It was a Tuesday evening in the suburbs...

...and Sheena Bear has a new friend.

Trader Jose, Trader Ming, Trader Giotto

I discovered a new favorite item from Trader Joe's today: the French Apple Tart. Eli and I had tomato & basil bruschetta on whole grain bread for dinner, so we felt totally justified in indulging in a little dessert.

Some other Sheena/Eli-approved items:
- Coconut Curry Chicken Stix
- Chicken & Cheese Tamales (at $1.99 for two, this, my friends, is how you eat economically)
- Rice Pudding (I'm trying not to eat this anymore, but yeah, it's good)
- Coconut Shrimp (ditto)
- Honey Sesame Sticks
- Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
- Veggie Chips
- Prig Khing Green Beans
- Frozen Black Cherries

What are your Trader Joe's favorites? I'm always down to try some new stuff.
