I was just commenting on your brother's post about his trip to Ikea the other day. I was wondering if it was as big of an excursion in Finland to visit Ikea like it is in the US. It sounds like it is about the same there in Australia as my experience here. We actually have to drive two hours to get to the nearest one and we maybe go once every other year if that.
It's not much of a big deal really; here, it's next to the airport and that's where I was so it seemed like a good opportunity to get the cutlery thing and some Swedish meatballs as well. I remember the meals being much cheaper than they were recently, but the meatballs were the same, that is to say, good.
That's good to hear about the meatballs. I am not sure I have ever tried them in the handful of times that I have been to the store. We have some frying pans from Ikea that we really love. They've worked well for us for many years.
