SOOOO--what should I request? :question:

It cannot be a fresh item--not allowed on the flight for import here. I would love to try a jicama--just for the heck of it but....

I wish I could remember the items you've mentioned over the months that you don't have access to...

do you think if I did a search for "#$^#@@##" it would list the things you don't have???

Too bad you already ordered Weeknight Menus 2. That was my first thought. Any spices you can't get there?

Anchos (which are dried poblanos) are peppers that all of us use quite a bit.

Mexican chocolate has a totally different flavor to it. It has been flavored with cinnamon, almonds and vanilla and is used in Mole'.

Mexican Oregano is similar to what you probably use now, but it's got a bigger punch in flavor.

Also get some spice rubs for grilling
