I'm going to stop at the Asian grocery

[joneschick]

do you need anything? I'm walking today, so keep it light.

[LeftyMom]

1. Powdered spicy mustard

and some eggless wonton skinss, if they have them.

[joneschick]

2. ok

I've never thought about eggless wonton skins, but for you, I'll check! :hi:

[LeftyMom]

5. That's the stuff

I use it in faux cheese sauce.

[Jamastiene]

3. I prefer my own local Pakistani grocery.

He always calls me buddy. You dont hear many men calling women buddy. He's so cool. I love him. Sometimes I go there and buy things just to hear his voice. Does that mean I am stalking him?

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Yes.

But in a good way.


****I do that too...

There's a guy at the Liquor store down the street that I buy beer from because I love the sound of his voice...even though there is a liquor store closer. :D

[Jamastiene]

8. We should compare notes sometime.

I love the sound of this guys accent, especially when he says "buddy." He is such a sweetheart. Back when my aunt could still walk some but was obviously hobbling from the MS, he would come out of the store and pump the gas for her. He doesn't do that ordinarily.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. The family that runs this store is super polite as well. They go out

of their way to be helpful, which is why I go out of my way to frequent them. :hi:

[Jamastiene]

12. I wonder how some people can hate them.

If only they knew their hospitality and their kindness. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. It has been awful here in SE MI of late.

We have a high ME population (highest outside of ME itself) and people think they can say the most outrageous things to them. :(

[Jamastiene]

21. People have been that way and

mistreated them where I live (NC) for as long as I can remember, but it seems worse lately here too, if that's possible.

[Arugula Latte]

10. OMG!11!! Your STOCKING him!11!

i'M SERIES!11!!11

[Jamastiene]

13. What can I say?

I suspect he is HUGH!!! I'm SERIE!S!!11!!1!11

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Dashi! I need a great big goddamned bag of Dashi!

[joneschick]

15. I didn't see any

[Taverner]

7. Super Hot KimChii

Not the mild shit, but the stuff that is only labelled in Korean

[ceile]

11. Shrimp chips and

the little sticks coated with strawberry icing. Not the chocolate ones-yech!

[Fleshdancer]

14. tonkatsu sauce please!

Thanks :D

[Cobalt Violet]

16. Mango pickle please.

Yummy.

[joneschick]

22. I saw the mango pickle

but I didn't see your request until I was back. Sorry. :sad:
If you want to stop by I've got some mango pulp and I could whip up a mango lassi?

[Cobalt Violet]

23. Sure, if you can make that lassi with soy yogurt.

That does sound good.

[joneschick]

25. sure, I'll run over to the co-op.

[Momgonepostal]

17. I like that sweet chili sauce...YUM!

[chaska]

18. Thousand year eggs (pic below)

I've actually eaten these things. Taste like ammonia. That pretty transparent amber part is the white, the green part is the yoke. The yoke is extremely foul.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. Why did you eat that and how is it produced?

Are they just old eggs?

[chaska]

26. I do weird stuff. I can't help myself....

They bury them in ashes for a number of months, if I recall correctly. The ash flavors the egg. It goes in a regular uncooked egg and comes out exactly as pictured.

I don't even want to get into the fermented tofu. It's used as a condiment, actually doesn't taste that bad (when cooked in a recipe), but it smells worse than anything.

[joneschick]

24. the picture is lovely

and your discription is so inviting......
I was tempted by some of the mystery things at the grocery. You know, the unidentifiable things in vacuum pack bags with absolutely no English on the package.

[Jade Fox]

27. Fresh lemon grass.....

Love that in Thai food.

[martymar64]

28. Wasabi Peas

Also a case of Shrimp Chips would be nice.

[fudge stripe cookays]

30. I just finished a bag!

Great minds think alike. Yum!

[China_cat]

29. Kroepoek

[southpaw]

31. Got Balut?

Nothing like duck foetus on the half shell!
