Sorry. I checked my email invoice: the price wasn't under 10€, it was €12,98/50 g - and according to the website, they only deliver to Finland. The same brand is sold for €17,80/50 g here. The delivery costs to UK (4,90€ in Finland) would exceed the difference anyway.

I bought pecan halves and almonds today. I need to make some glazed nuts for my dad. Pecans are crazy expensive. If I still lived in Port Arthur, I could just go for a walk and gather them up for free.

Thanks for this. OK - I was thinking they were fresh truffles. I can get similar here. In fact I may have some in my store cupboard.

There are five types of truffles in Finland. Most of them thrive in oak forests in southwestern Finland but some - like the ones in my home town - grow in mixed wood forests. The only shop specializing in Finnish wild truffles is located here in Lahti. Our truffles are mostly searched with dogs of Lagotto romagnolo breed. Finnish truffles are very expensive - that's why I order foreign canned ones.

Not quite What I bought today but what was delivered today and bought Tuesday this week.

Our Christmas chocolates have arrived.
We needed to cover 1 chocolate each per day for 24 days (Advent Calendar) and then Christmas Chocolates, 24th Wedding Anniversary and finally birthday chocolates. (and all before the New Year!)

They are all vegan but you would never know. The owner is a belgian chocolatier now in Tasmania. I found their chocolate by accident last Christmas and loved them. they out did everything you could buy locally and bring back wonderful memories of a visit to Brugges many years ago when on a week long school trip to the Flanders WWI area. We had a 1/2 day to ourselves wandering around and into tiny chocolate shops packed full of handmade chocolates.

Each chocolate has been individually wrapped to protect it in the postal system.

All of them together

Weekly shopping. Going to the supermarket is now a stressful experience, our government renewed the 1PM curfew on weekends so all working people go to the supermarket on saturday and sunday morning. And of course organizing the groceries is still a hassle. Never in my life did I imagine I'd be sanitizing cans of tuna but here I am.
