Walmart or Squalmart? The other day, insearch of the ever elusive New York bagel, I went to Walmart. This is not the first time I've noticed things sliding at this mega-chain. The freezer where the bagels are normally found was busted, none of the service people could answer my questions, the store appeared dirty and disorganized and the parking lot littered with garbage. To boot, my husband got in an arguement at the bread counter because he lined up at the wrong place. An all round unpleasant experience!

Newest Fave Treat: The Thai spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce at Gourmet to Go across from the American School are delicious! I haven't had an Asian spring roll like that since I was at Granville Market in Vancouver last summer. They are a little pricey, but if you are craving those distinct flavors, it's worth the splurge. Oh, and try their artichoke dip.

Chez Wooly--also known as Woolworth's--is chock-a-block full of summer tobettes and makes for a fun outing if you're looking for some new stuff. Most of their fashions are geared towards the ectomorph (which I'm not), but if one looks hard and long enough, you can usually find a cute thing or two to fit your Nordic physique.

Polo's for Breaky? One of my favorite dinner joints is planning to open this week for breakfast and I caught a glimpse of the new menu. If it's anywhere as good as the food at dinner, they will likely get a good crowd. The breakfast prices were good, the variety enticing and my all time fave, eggs benedict, one of the offerings. For neophytes, Polo's is located near the Cine Bahia on the south side of town.
