Hmm, that's new to me. University's such a pit these days, even when I
drive it, I don't look around. Must be up close to campus?

It's just west of Sacramento Street on the north side of University.

Thanks, I think I'll go there today.

You think there's a prayer the Thai store will also have calamansi
and daun limau perut?

I've never seen kalamansi/calamansi in the States, alas... I'm too
tired to look up the latter--what is it?

I think it's the same as kaffir lime leaf. It smells the same, although the
one I used to get at home was smaller and darker green.

So how come the limes here are so *not sour*? The ones they give you with
Hokkien Mee in Singapore will make your toes curl from five feet away.

I have to double the limes here to get the same sourness, and then the
fragrance of the lime gets a bit much.

That sucks. I'd send you some, but then it wouldn't be fresh any more.

Maybe I should grow mine, too. Is it a lot of work?

No, not in the summer in pugetopolis. I just buy some bulk seed at the
local health food store, spread it in the garden and I have so much I
can't use it all.
