Monday morning Angie and I had an appointment to visit a wine distributor in Sanur. Angie has a wedding business, Bali Paradise Weddings and has researched wine and spirits. Last year she found a great little place on the Bypass, heading to Sanur, that is semi-secret. Located 100 meters before Macro supermarket, this unmarked place offers great prices on wine, spirits and other 'bule' friendly items like ketchup. Open from 10am-4pm Mon-Fri, 10am-1pm Sat and closed Sun, they allow you to stroll in and buy a bottle or a case.

Sunday afternoon I was in my room typing as usual. I decided to cook some bbq so rode over to Bintang supermarket in Seminyak. In the meat section I picked up 6 chicken legs a 2 large breasts. In the veg section I picked up zucchini, a bag of red chilis and broccoli. I also got a large bag of rice. My bill was 65,000rp. Back at the house I lit a good quarter bag of charcoal and waited for the flames to burn down. Ika made some nasi putih and I got busy with the chicken, corn and a large Bintang. After an hour in total the food was ready and I applied some hot sambal for Ika and some garlic bbq sauce for me. So much easier cooking for 2 people than 20.

Sunday morning Ika was excited to drag me down to Bintang supermarket to shop for baby things. In particular a plastic baby bathtub. Bintang (star) is located on Jl. Seminyak between Jl. Double six and Jl. Dhyana Pura. On the bottom floor to the rear left side is a little section for mothers that has baby powder and the usual selection of toiletry items.

Sometimes its the simplest things we miss from home. Visitors to Bali can get a range of food that rivals many big cities in the world, but sometimes something as simple as bread might be missing. A handy place I frequent is Bread Station, one of the small shops next to Bintang supermarket in Seminyak. Bread Station opens around 9am and stocks a selection of freshly made baguettes, whole grain loaves and donuts.
