Why is it I have been living in Switzerland for almost 8 months and that is how long it has taken me to find a bag of frozen Edamame? We stopped by a New Asian Market (NAM) on Feldstrasse today as our babysitter told us it was great (and it was). We found some gorgeous iridescent pink/orange tilapia, some really plump yellow tail and a bag of edamame.
Ok, it looked like it has been in the freezer for a year and tasted ok, but nothing like the bags of edamame (Costco) we ate daily back in the US. Is it possible that the US is ahead of the health food curve. Why has this tasty treat not hit the european continent yet?
Coop City offers a little lunch box of edamame and beansprouts with a decent sesame salad dressing. I have been known to go through phases of 'can't live without it' but truthfully, it is just ok, and I miss my furry little bean snack.
On a side note, cherry pie (from cherries bought a jucker farm yesterday) tasted pretty darn good. This chef of mine can work miracles with food that has marginal flavor. What a lucky girl am I!

About Me
- WiseMóna
- I am an Irish girl living in my hometown - Galway, Ireland. I lived in America for 15 years and that was where I landed myself my handsome Chef - Ron, who is a jack of all trades and master of most (Chef/Artist/Gardener). I am the Mother of 2 cute kids - Rory and Jack and we are also a foster family caring for two adorable little Irish girls (full time) and lots of other little kiddies on a part-time respite basis. In September of 2009 I noticed that I had oodles of free time to while away the hours blogging and avoiding housework at all costs, So I decided to give the life of Academia a whirl and enrolled in a four year course at my local University (NUIG) to get myself an education. When I graduate (May 2013) I will have a degree in English Literature, German and specializing in Creative Writing. After that I hope to earn my Masters in Writing and even have dreams of someday lounging in the 'OMG - PhD lounge' at NUIG. There, I've said it, and put it out there for the whole world to see!
