Safeway is th eonly place I've found on Oahu that has pimento cheese spread. I have some on hand now and had it on a sandwich for lunch yeterday. Will there be a Safeway near your new home? when I moved to NorCal I couldn't find a coffee I liked so I had it shipped in from New Orleans once a month. You might do that with flour. Tea = Drop eight regular-sized Lipton tea bags into a quart of just-boiled water. Cover and let sit until cool. Pour into a one gallon pitcher & stir in however much sugar you want. Fill the rest of the way with water. Store in fridge. Keep several insulated cups handy. Carry your own tea when you eat out. Works for me! Yes, Imoved away fromt eh South, but at least I didn't become a Damn Yankee! Smooch! Ah - you got me!

I commiserate with the changes in groceries you'll encounter. On the up side, I find the availability of good bread--you know, something with substance and an actual crust, is much better up there. Good luck! I grew up in Illinois, but now have become the next best thing to a native Texas (I’ve given birth to two). I commiserate with the changes in groceries you’ll encounter.

When there was a good chance Hubs and I were moving to Colorado, I sat down and cried. :D I can't imagine living somewhere that it ISN'T the norm to carry on a 5 minute conversation with a stranger about the weather or how their day is. At least foreigners are amused by a southern girl, New Yorkers think I'm mentally unhinged. ;) I can’t imagine living anywhere than where I currently do.

I like memes a lot. That is a big move...when we lived in Calgary i had to adjust recipes because of the altitude (it took awhile to adjust physically too). So I can imagine that the baking will be a bit of a challenge... I will be posting my random things tomorrow - thank you for including me! I like memes a lot.

I am honored and a little alarmed. :) I will post my three things later today, or tomorrow. I bake cakes from Israeli cookbooks. No problems. But maybe Tel Aviv and California have similar climates or something. Well. I am honored and a little alarmed. :)
