KAVIARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

For months we have been waiting for IKEA to get their own brand of Kaviar after they discontinued the Kalles brand.  BJ was in the Seattle area this past week and stopped in and there it was!   Hooray!  The black fish tube is the cod roe and I actually like it better than the Kalles brand..I think it's a bit less strong in flavor.  BJ says that's because it doesn't taste smoked.  The other two tubes are a salmon and crab spread.  Both higher in fat than the cod roe.  So our frig is full again and we are both saying how we missed it.   So for all you afficianados of this stuff...go shopping.  It's less than $2.50 a tube.   Yum!

For days, almost weeks now, we have listened to the national weather reports about unseasonably warm weather around the country and then up in the NW corner of the map is us...the coldest place in the nation...not just cold but wet also.  As I write, it is snowing...now that's just cruel.   March 18.   We are supposed to have dinner guests up here on Thursday...I can only hope spring will have officially arrived before they do.  I'm going back now, to sit by the fire.
