The Greatest Thing Ever Happened

That's quite the auspicious title isn't it.... but so true!!!

Saturday afternoon, after the retreat (which was awesome by the way - I'll post on it later...) I was at home with my husband when I mentioned something that one of my cousins had told me.....there was a new Russian store that opened in Draper, Utah.

This is epic.

Seriously.

While Portland, OR has a nice Russian population, and therefore grocery stores to support that, Utah is a bit lacking. The one we did find in Salt Lake kinda stunk. We couldn't get bread, pelmeni, chocolates, tea, really anything. So we hopped in the car, and decided to immediately check out the new store in Draper.

428 E 12300 S Draper, UT 84020-9503 US

This place is AWESOME!!! They have tea (chai), chocolates, bread, kielbasa, cookies, cheese, just so many good things! I'll admit - Lance and I went a little bit overboard. We were like two kids in a chocolate factory (which incidentally we've been to the Russian chocolate factory - twice). If we saw it was remotely close to something we remembered, then we bought it. If it was shiny... we bought it. We got a little carried away, but it was just so exciting. Finally! A Russian store that carries Russian food that we actually like and would definitely get.

We picked up some pelmeni  - which is a Russian meat filled pasta that Lance is an EXPERT at cooking. Of course some chocolates, cheese, kielbasa, mayonnaise, kinder eggs, and the best chamomile tea in the world. So so so happy about this.....


We're going back on Wednesday.... :)
