We bought butter, eggs, fruit, tomato, & wine. Asians run the grocery stores. Too tired to go out for dinner, we boiled eggs in the kettle, ate them with butter & tomato, later walked out to Freddo for ice cream.

In the morning we boiled water in the kettle, poured it over grounds in the coffee cups, waited 5 minutes for grounds to settle. They did.
