Jason and I arrived on Tuesday and have been busy trying to get the apartment together ever since. We've hit up about four supermarkets and several 'produkti' kiosks, and then ironically found the best one hidden down an alley in an apartment courtyard ACROSS THE STREET. seriously. We stumbled upon it yesterday... saw it... started to walk past... and then turned around and decided to explore. It was called "L'eto", or Summer, so we weren't sure if we'd be walking into a store or a restaurant. Still no peanut butter, but they did have ground Turkey (whaaaa?). When we asked the woman behind the counter for it, she and several other people tried to explain to us that it was Turkey- complete with one gentleman intelligentsia telling us in English, "It is Turkey". Once everyone was satisfied that we understood, they finally agreed to sell it to us. I don't think it helped that Jason and I immediately asked for half a kilo in Latvian... oops! In any case, we had spaghetti bolognese last night.
