I <3 Chicago
Well, ok, I'm in the 'burbs, but I think it's great that we have enough immigrants around these parts to ensure that there's a large supply of exotic and weirdass foodstuffs from around the world.
I went to two markets today with the aim of collecting some fun foreign foods to get me started while I feel my way around South Bend and search desperately for the local repositories of ethnic foodie goodness. So basically I'll have lentils, greek spices, greek coffee, russian cookies, and German chocolate. Mmm, German chocolate über alles *drools*.
Tomorrow it's on to find Croatian chocolate, Indian simmer sauces, and some crazy ass Asian crap. (And more German chocolate.)
Perhaps at some point I'll read the orientation to class registration junk, but for now, I'll just worry about food.
