Those sound like a delicious tummy ache. My current favourite beautiful weird flavour is putting Brunswick tomato basil herring fillets on top of Fritos style corn chips. @trystan

actually, they were pretty good!
i'm pretty sure i found them at the store the person said she got them from, but there were cracked pepper crackers and rosemary crackers. i got the rosemary, and they're still really awesome.
I'm also going to be going to that store (Aldi) for some of the groceries - they're less expensive than the Giant Eagle I've been going to.

*nod nod* But many things that taste wonderful tick Tam's weird diva guts off. lol Isn't it cool how wanting a wonderful new snack has lead you to find a better place for some of your groceries? (and I've never heard of either chain, I guess they must be US things).

@trystan

trystan


definitely US. according the one website, "2297 ALDI Locations in the United States"!
Giant Eagle is definitely western PA and really really eastern OH. it's Pittsburgh-based.
but yes, yay for a less expensive place for groceries!

I shop at Save On Foods and Dollerama, myself, for the things I can't get at the farmers market. We have Safeway, Giant Tiger, and I think IGA is still around. Those are the big chains. There are also some Indian and other chains, some of which are also pretty big. Giant Tiger is the discount place. I don't shop there because they don't really carry anything I need. OH. Wow. Forgot Wal-Mart has groceries. Okay, we have them too, but again, not much I can use. Oh and The Great Canadian Superstore and Costco. Superstore is a big warehouse place, though not to the extent that Costco is. It's known for the gigantic Canadian flags that most locations fly. They're HUGE.

I go to Save On because the delivery is affordable, and they have what I need.

going to a store that has what you need is important!
also we have Wal-Mart as well..... but someone said Aldi was less than Wal-Mart. so i did my weekly trip there today, and while there's still things I'll need from Giant Eagle, what i did get at Aldi was MUCH less than i was expecting! so yaay!

Nope


@trystan , it is indeed!

I wonder if Aldi is anything like Giant Tiger.

Guts threw another fit this morning. I'm never eating ANY kind of sprout again as long as I live. ...As long as I remember. But I've been good about remembering not to eat the bean sprouts.

trystan


oooh yeah, remembering is the tricky part. good luck.

hm, I'm pretty sure Giant Tiger is Canadian, so i don't know?

Wow. I got distracted after opening this, and totally forgot about it all day!

@trystan

I don't know what Giant Tiger is, other than apparently cheap. LOL

trystan


oh i totally get that. i've opened tabs, and then had other things to go and do, and i was literally in the middle of doing something. yeesh.

It was a first for me. But I also had separated the tab into another window, and then left it behind the first one. *derp* lol @trystan

I put a tail fin on the merkitty I'm making, and it totally is a nearly perfect fluke! I'm so grateful that it worked out.

trystan


yay for perfect flukes!

i don't usually open tabs into new windows, just tabs

I just realized how funny it looks when I say it that way.

Yeeeeah. Sometimes I want to USE two windows at the same time, like for reading and watching YouTube at the same time.

Also, I locked myself out of the phone.

@trystan

trystan


oops.
to be fair, i have my main window of tabs, but then i have a second, incognito window, where i have some of my high volume sites - dragoncave is open, so is ravelry, as is a simple vampire game. they all use more pages in the cache than my forums sometimes. and one way to keep space clear on your computer is to clear your cache/cookies. the easiest way, I've found, is actually manually (weird i know), but if i open high volume sites incognito, i don't have those cookies to clear out.
I'm weird, i know.

Had to factory reset the phone. All game data lost, phone isn't acting the same as it used to. You want weird? I feel like a friend died.
