Well here I am, back on Terra Australis…still unpacking, sorting out, recovering, re-adjusting to non holiday life. Had a great trip, and of course took pictures of food. Ate plenty of it…always seeking another taste sensation. Cost-Co is a mind boggling American excess story as is Walmart, which sadly were my children’s highlights! The BIG bags of M & M’s left them in no doubt that the American way of life is for them! So rather than waffle on in a Travelogue which is foodless, I am posting some food photos from along the way. I have plenty of recipes to try, so keep subscribed and let the games begin!
Haha! Wal-Mart and Costco are just such a way of life for me, I’ve never stopped to think of them as excess - but they sure are!! Although I do usually skip out on the big bags of M&Ms…

My neighborhood market sees me almost everyday because I avoid Cosco and Wallmart at all cost and would rather shop a little everyday than once a week. I see the point for a large family but there are just 2 of us so a huge pack of pork chops would get freezer burn before we get to it!! What amazed me when I went to Cosco was the number of people eating all of the sample as if they were having dinner!!
I do like Walmart for the giant bags of M&Ms, like your kids!!
