Grocery List

This afternoon our family took a field trip to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, Oh. This place was amazing; we had a great time looking at all of the unique and exotic foods. My favorite part was watching Shelby squirm as I showed her things like: chicken feet, a scorpion encased inside a sucker, barbecue flavored crickets, fresh squid, octopus, etc. 

We all came home with some food that we thought we would enjoy. I love cheese, so I spent a good amount of time looking over the zillions of different types of cheese. Here's what I came home with:

Smoked Cheddar 
Four-Year Old Cheddar (They had Eight-Year Old Cheddar, but I passed it up)
Imported - Norwegian Ridder Cheese
Imported - Irish Cheddar Extra Sharp Cheese (I thought James and I could get a head start on what we might experience in Ireland.)

Also bought:
Farmhouse Brown Bread straight from Dublin, Ireland (I should have gotten the soda bread too.)
Key Lime flavored honey
Tangerine flavored honey

Tammy got some great things too; but I won't steal her thunder, just in case she wants to blog about it herself.

By the way, I had some of the four-year old cheddar at supper and I think it is the best cheese I've ever tasted.

  2. I showed Shelby the goat meat and told her that I had eaten it before and she just looked at me with a funny snarled up lip.

  5. What? No chicken feet or crickets?!

    Last year when I went to Lake Of The Woods an old friend of mine brought some four year aged cheese from wisconsin. Not bad stuff...It goes good with sliced jalapenos
