Ordering food over the internet?

This past week we tried "matsmart.se" to buy discount food.  Interesting idea, and here are the pros and cons. 

Pros:  
Food to your door at a good price

Kids think it is awesome to get a package and open everything

They actually sell some things that I haven't seen in local stores

 Cons: 
Some things were so "cheap" because they were actually the smaller size of what we normally buy at the store....like that mini-box of cereal and the almost empty bag of dried cherries. 

They call things a discount, but they are based on the high end stores' normal price, so a bit of sensibility is needed to realize if it is truly a discount. 

Some of the food is almost expired, thus the lower price.  Some things are not bothered by their expiration date, others go a bit weird...

I realize afterwards that I tended to buy things that looked tasty, compared to buying at a store based on a shopping list....like that chocolate, cookies, etc...

Will I do it again, absolutely!

Three new "accomplishments" that are all still works in progress:
1. Sourdough bread....mmmm
 2.  Croissants, a lot of work!
 3.  Homemade mozzarella and queso fresco, also a lot of work, but fun!

What's so special about Swedish cuisine? 

Well, Blueberry soup, to start with.  How do you even drink this? Warm?  With whipped cream on top?  I dont know, but a cold glass of the stuff is quite all right with us.  The kids want to try making ice cream out of it, we'll see how that goes! 

Vem skulle gissa att blåbärs soppa är så gott?

"No artificial flavors, color, or preservatives..." 

and the best, 
"satisfied customers worldwide." 

Systematic Theology, Chapter 39

*Just a reminder that this study of Wayne Grudem's book, Systematic Theology, is not by any means me teaching, but rather a simple sum...
