Last week I headed to Tallinn to check out some rooms for a conference next fall I am helping with. I headed there with Timo, my trusted assistance for the conference and after checking things out we were walking to a place for lunch and stopped at Stockmanns. This is the JC Penny of Findland and has store in Tallinn. I had heard the legends of the food store in Stockmanns having lots of American products you can't get anywhere else in Estonia, but I had never checked it for myself. Well, having a few minutes to spare, Timo and I checked things out and found the Holy Grail! I found all kinds of Betty Crocker cake mixes for $7, and cereals like Luck Charms and Honeycomb for $12-$15. These were fun to see, but honestly, just stupid expensive. We kept searching and then found the cookies and hit the motherload! Chips Ahoy, Nutter Butter and Oreos. There were having a sale on all of these. Around $4-6 a package, so I picked up a few took them home and have been enjoying a little each day. Reena and the boys like them, but think they are just cookies, but my tastebuds and memories say they are so much more. Its great to be able to get a little taste of America and not have to sell our first born and it made me smile.
