Sometimes you have to make your own fun.

I went back to the new Whole Foods on Saturday, by myself, while Andrew was off at SXSW getting edumacated about the Interthingy. I bought all of ten things in the course of an hour and a half: little indulgences like wheat gluten and Whole Foods brand cat food. Mmmm.

But the most important purchase was also a partial admission of defeat. Several months ago a friend sent me a package of treats which either the DP or the USPS has subsequently eaten or blown up on a tarmack somewhere. At any rate, it hasn't shown up yet--so I figured it was time to take matters into my own hands.

Even if this package never appears, I STILL think it's the greatest thing to happen online, ever, that someone I never met would send me Caro.

In the meantime, Whole Foods has expanded its ersatz coffee offerings substantially and this tub of "Pero" is the same thing. So I bought one. I am drinking it now. I hope that by doing so, I will bring the forces of the universe back into alignment and Vasili's package will materialize, either on my front porch or on his...


[Yeah, woo, gluten AND ersatz coffee in one shopping trip, I live dangerously.]

[huch! ich könnte schwören, dass ich hier schon kommentiert habe!]

given the name ("pero") and the design one would never assume that this is the same as CARO. ;-)

[Needu, jetzt zum ersten Mal]
I know; they couldn't use "Caro" because it's the name of a corn syrup brand here. How they came up with the other name is beyond me...
