Spiro's & simple pleasures

Today's simple pleasure: an international market. We read Kite Runner for book club this month. We rarely theme the nosh but this time it seemed appropriate (could it be because of the prominence of hummus in that region of the world?). Ran to Spiro's Mediterranean Market (University Ave., St. Paul) today in the hope that they'd have baklava. (I made it once and it took hours!) They did. And Naan, olives, tahini and all sorts of fabulous imported items. Walking around the place, looking at all of the interesting items, I kept thinking 'we live in a wonderful, interesting world.'
