In Search Of Caviar

I am in dire need of this tubed caviar. Heard of it? Didn't think so. It is extremely rare in the USA. But can be found on every corner in Scandanavia. I search the web for it and find a few web sites that carry it but the sites themselves look a little sketchy. And they are expensive too. Upwards of 10 bucks a tube. Thats rediculous. I know I can find it for cheaper. Wondering if they have it in Minnesota?

Rock Band

Well, Soph finally talked us into getting Rock Band for our Playstation. Its a pretty cool game. We are having alot of fun playing it. I still gotta get Rachel to play. Soph has been playing the drums alot and getting blisters on her fingers from the drumsticks. Poor thing. I used to get them on my hands too when I played the drums. I have been playing the drums on Rock Band alot too and have got pretty far so far. I am playing on medium and the songs are getting kinda hard. But I just started playing it so it takes a little getting used to I guess.

Hall Of Famer

This is what I had for lunch yesterday. My favorite burger ever. The Carl's Jr Super Star with cheese. I have had many a burger in my time and this one tops the list. Sure there are other great burgs out there. Fuddruckers, Wendy's "Baconator". But they cant beat this one. I actually had a pretty good one at Flying Star yesterday too. I think it was called the Blues burger with Blue cheese on it. Not bad. I am not liking the Whopper anymore for some reason though.

New Schedule Yet Again.

Well, We got our shift bid at work. The choices they gave us were not that good. There were no 8-5 monday thru friday shifts at all. I bid on the 7:30a to 6:30p with Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. I got that shift. Its not terrible. 4 ten hour shifts will take some getting used to again. And I am glad to be off on Sundays again. Even though I will miss out on the 35% differential. I'd much rather have it off. Wifey is happy with it too.

I finished the shelving system for her and it came out real good. Rachel loves it. Im glad. Now she has her own desk and area to do her crafts and stuff. And I can be next to her doing my craft. World of Warcraft. :)

Back From LC

We just got back from Las Cruces, NM a couple of hours ago. We went out there this weekend to visit Rachels sister and brother in law Charles. Rachel had a workshop for her "Close to my heart" crafts while me and Chuck went to High Desert brewery for a few brewskis. It was pretty fun. We also played alot of guitar hero. Tried playing on hard but got to Metallica One and lost it. Too fast. Kate made some Frito Pie which was excellent and we went to Cracker Barrel too. When we got back in town, Molly was so excited to see us. She played tether ball with Sophie before we left and headed home.

Cruisin'

Cruises are cool. I went on a couple cruises when I was younger and I loved them. They were both on the Mexican riviera. My wife and I went on a cruise on our honeymoon to the caribbean and she is addicted to it. The cruise on our honeymoon started in Galveston, TX and went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel Mexico. We went on another cruise with Soph last fall that went to Cozumel, Key West and the Bahamas. That was fun too. We have another cruise planned for this May to Alaska and we are very excited about that one. Never been to Alaska. It should be fun.

Fish Toothpaste?

Looks pretty wierd huh? Well, I love it. Its not really known here in the USA. But Scandanavian Kaviar is like peanut butter for them out there. Even the little kids gobble it up. Kids in the USA would probably blow chunks if they tried it. I grew up on it. My mom was from Norway and she grew up on it. When I was a kid, she had a penpal from Norway that would ship us fresh tubes all the time. I guess we just grew accustomed to it. Its definately an acquired taste to say the least. Either you like it or you dont. It tasted like ground up cod fish. Salty and fishy is the best way I can describe it. You cant buy it anywere in the USA. I used to have a hook up here in town. Some place called Ta Lin Market had it and I was so excited. Well, my brother in law and I must have been the only ones buying it and they quickly ran out and have not restocked. I was not pleased with that. I am going to have to have a chat with the manager of that store. But first, I need to learn to speak chinese.
