Kit, I was thinkin' more along the lines of making a pie crust, but you've given me an idea!! ;-)
Kathy, It's like Christmas!
The tooth stuff is working (sort of) but hopefully the pain will be totally gone be the time I leave the dentists!
Tania, Thank you! I've never actually looked forward to going to the dentist before! ;-)
Seeing all the food has made me hungry and I haven't eaten anything but broth since yesterday! I want to sink my teeth into something solid this afternoon!
I didn't realize you couldn't get these things there...I would really miss home if I couldnt get my normal staples.
OMGOSSHHHHH!!!! What a WOMAN!! You are loved and somebody knew exACTly what you needed. You have to tell us where she's from and did those items have to get through customs? If so, that gives me HOPE!!
What a LOVELY friend. I'm so happy I might have corn on a stick!!
That's great! Always nice getting goodies from home huh? Hope your tooth is better by the time I've posted this love ya
Yay! What a cool surprise! Does this mean you don't have to go to the, what was it? Porn shop or wherever they sell that over there? Sorry, can't remember, exactly!
I hope your tooth and you are better!
Wowy-wow.. MMMM-Mmmmm... Red Velvet cake! What a beat assortement of things - a little something for so many different food moods!
You've got to be someone special to have friends do that for you.
Hope you can use your chompers soon.
Hmmmm only thing missing is the onion cakes I wont ring you today but will contact you over the weekend hope you're not in too much pain.
Paula, There's a LOT that I miss that I just can't get here. Thank goodness for friends and care packages, or I would have gone nuts a long time ago !!
Robynn, Anita's in Sacto CA, and even the wicker basket made it through... which kind of surprised me!
You can have your corn on a stick, but now that I'm done with the dentist, I think I just want to wear some stretchy pants. ;-)
Sherri, Too bad my sister and daughter in law don't send their poor beloved grummie something...
;-)
Nancy, NO! No more trips to the sex shop for Crisco! Isn't that good news?? Not that I WOULD go into there to buy any... LOL!
Bz, The chompers are still out of commision until next Wednesday, but I'm having tapioca pudding for dinner tonight!!!
Irene, I can make onion cakes just fine... remember? It's just that I always forget to make them. ;-)
I'm in agony after being poked and prodded, but I have some super duper drugs that he promises will knock me on my arse...
So call fist, okay?
Katie if I had your address I'd send you some goodies, might be awhile though I still have a Game Cube to send to the boys that Cousin Sam wants to give them. Oh ya, and if I could ever come and visit I'd go into the sex shop and get you all the crisco you wanted...regular or butter flavored? hahahaha
just one question...WHERE'S MINE?!?!? ;-) Enjoy, Kate!
Sherri.... AHA ! I see where Josh and Bec get it from then ! I'm STILL waiting on my Christmas present! LOL!
Kurichan... I have plenty of Tapioca pudding left, so come on down! I would trade you a pudding for some poppers. Are you interested? lol! We need to get down your way again soon, because I miss you!
Well you already answered my question, as to where your goodies were sent from...
... now, how do you think she got those through your Crisco and Ranch Dressing Mix, sniffer dogs, at the airport?
Did she grease some paws? Maybe with the Crisco? Surely if we bribed someone, we could get some bacon to you!
Lucky you! All the fixins of home.
Neas Nuttiness---there is no problem with Crisco with Customs, and the powdered ranch dressing mix is ok given the small amount of dried milk product--they are more concerned with egg products at the moment...although I did see a bottle of ranch dressing get confiscated the last time I went thru customs and the guy was very sad!! you need to add all the milk/mayo to the powder so it typically passes quarantine...believe me, I have studied all the ins and outs of what is allowed, and I am taking a trip back to the US next month--gotta get back to scratch and will double check my haul before getting on the plane! :D
I have bought some things from usafoods. I think last time some Halloween candy.
