Shopping Notes (Boston locality)

1) The Strawberry's next to Trader Joe's on Storrow Memorial (thanks Mycroft) Drive is closing in two weeks. They are selling everything. Used stuff, DVD sets, everything's had its price cut. I looked lustfully at season one of Carnivale, but even with the price cut it's $80.

2) The new Penzey's store is a bit further down on Mass Ave in Arlington than I would have expected. I gave myself a $20 limit, ended up spending closer to $10. I enjoyed the smelling jars as they give me an excellent idea of what I can put their spices in. I noticed that the spices mixes made me rub my nose a bit - fairly strong. That or my nose really is getting closer to bloodhound.

3) Rosebud in Malden remains a very good place for produce. 89 cent fresh mangos. Mmmmm... mango lhassi...

(edited to add) Mango lhassi note: more sugar, less honey.

Oh my goodness, mango lhassi!! Mango heaven! Has to be one of my favorite drinks. I'll bet you make a mean one, too. ;)

This was a first attempt, actually, and I had to use my food processor instead of my blender because I didn't know where the blender cup was. It's more like a mango yoghurt smoothie than a proper mango lhassie, but it's not bad. It'll prep better next time with the blender, the mango has a bit of pulpy texture in this one.
