Today we decided to meet Daddy for lunch. Ellie loves that he works close enough to make meeting easy. The drive kept us from meeting often in Kinston. We rode the train to David’s stop (an outing requirement for Ellie). At the subway station, there is a pizza shop were we ate. David and the guys go about once a week for pizza and beer at lunch. Ellie had a cheese pizza and David and I split a pizza with dollops of spaghetti sauce. Yummy. At lunch we ran into Jason and Joannah.
Some of David’s coworkers think that okra might be located at the indoor market at Hortget. Since Joannah has sometime before she had to pick up the girls, she offered to show us were the indoor market was located. So hopping back on the train after lunch, we headed over. The indoor market was huge. They did have a few fruits and vegetables but no okra. The vast array of meats and fish was staggering. There were stands to buy raw ingredients and also stands that sold prepared foods. It is a popular lunch spot. We saw a whole turkey, the first I have seen. It cost 89 kroners/kg. That would translate into about $58 dollars for a 10lb bird. I am guessing there will be no turkey for thanksgiving at our house (Please eat an extra piece for us this year). They also had whole rabbits. I am not sure that I could take a whole rabbit home, cook it and then eat it. Ellie had a blast looking at all the different meats and identifying everything.
I talked with Angie this afternoon and we decided to have a Halloween party for all the expats at our apartment. Let the cleaning commence.
