Now that we have our nice big kitchen with a working oven, we need to stock up on some groceries as our cupboards are nearly bare. Going for groceries in Cordoba is very different than grocery shopping back home. Shopping for groceries here involves trips to many small stores. There is a polleria where I can buy chicken, carneceria for beef, verduria for vegetables, panaderia for breads and the farmacia for toiletries. There are a few supermercados, but they are few and far between and often involve carrying the groceries home for many blocks. Usually I go for groceries almost every day, but my plan this week is to go to the big Disco supermercado which is about a 30 minute walk from our apartment and then take a cab home. They will deliver your groceries but I'm not sure my Spanish is good enough for that type of conversation. I think my groceries might never make it home.
Last week John and I went to check out the Buenos Dias supermercado that is about eight blocks from our apartment. Some of my favourite items were:
The Faty Empanadas. This is truth in advertising in action since if you eat too many of these you may end up a bit fatty.
Also available at this same store were Barfy Burgers. Enough said.....

| NOW HERE - BIMBO ( sign on the front door of the Kiosco just down the street. Bimbos are everywhere!) |
The Bimbo Bakery products are very popular here and John tells me that Bimbos were everywhere in Mexico as well. There are Bimbo granola bars, Bimbo buns, Bimbo bread.......so many Bimbos.
Our conversations went something like this:
"I'm gonna go down to the corner and get me a Bimbo."
"What kind of Bimbo are you gonna get?"
"I think I'll get me a sweet Bimbo...."
So how about a tasty Barfy Burger on a Bimbo Bun? Bon Appetit!
