Cruesli (one of the cereals that is marketed in Europe from Quaker Oats) is pretty damn good. I have been buying the ‘Winter’ variety almost every time that I’ve gone to the grocery store. I slipped up a few times to buy the standard varieties, but I have always felt like I’ve needed to go back to the winter variety. It won’t be available once summer starts! The feeling is exactly like the compulsion to always buy the pumpkin flavored coffee drinks at Starbucks/Gloria Jean’s/Dunn Bros. in October. This is a great marketing strategy since I feel like the product will run out at some point. Also, I am buying into Quaker Oats’ opinion on what flavors they think the average European consumer would enjoy during the colder months.

Currently listening to:
Cat Power – What Would the Community Think – experimental
Cat Power – You Are Free – best one of hers. still experimental, much better than her new “diva” sound.
Basia Bulat – Oh, My Darling – folky
Thao – We Brave Bee Stings and All – great
Feist – The Reminder – musical
