Reason #572 to love penzey's: They ship to FPO addresses, unlike almost
everyone else. I just ordered Lemon grass, garam masala, sansaam chili

I wish to heck I had known about them when I was in Sasebo! I had
friends mailing me stuff from stateside g.

Yay for independence...I get tired of asking the in-laws to mail stuff...

O know the feeling! I was using friends, and we'd swap boxes back and forth
(which was pretty cool actually) but much of hat I just 'did without' (didnt
want to ask for, kinda pricey stuff) I could have mail ordered.

Hey, where you at? If there's something you can't find (could be grits,
could be anything else) let me know at the email here and I might be able to
ship it. FPO is pretty cheap. My local asian market has a good assortment
of that sort of stuff if you are in Europe. Use the same box and send back
anything locally interesting g. Not expensive stuff, just whatever you
think would be fun. I used to mail back packs of chopsticks (pretty ones,
not the disposable wood ones) I got for 100yen, toss in some dried
mushrooms, local Japan hard candies, etc.
