Food, furniture and IKEA
I don’t know how anyone can go to IKEA and not be sidetracked for at least a couple of minutes in the food marketplace section. I know I was when we went to Renton yesterday. There are so many Swedish sweets and treats, I didn’t know what to do with myself. Instead of buying up the store, though, I ended up buying a huge chocolate bar and some Gille cookies. That’s it. No meatballs, no ginger cookies, no pickled herring.
In fact, I’ve never eaten the famous Swedish meatballs at IKEA. It seems like every time I go there, I’ve either already eaten or have made plans to eat after leaving the huge store. The first time I went to IKEA was with my whole family. While I was busy gawking at everything, my mom and brother sat down for a quick Swedish meatball snack. I needn’t tell you I was jealous.
Next time I’m there, I swear I’ll try the meatballs. If we had been planning to go straight home from IKEA yesterday, I probably would have bought the frozen ones. Brian told me my homemade ones were probably better anyway. I’d still like to know for sure.
I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the cookie purchase from yesterday. Those buggers are yummy.

Were those cookies really seven dollars?
Nope. They cost $1. Pretty good deal really. I got some again this weekend after exchanging a table on Saturday.
