The strangest things are major victories

When you're living in your native homeland, finding everyday items is easy. So easy, that we tend to take their ready availability for granted

Honestly, I'm amazed that they have things like yogurt, cheese, and peanut butter at all!

Glad to hear you found what you were looking for!

I have no idea what the restrictions are, but are there things I could send you from the states that would make your life a little easier?

Oh, and a snail mail address would be really lovely, please.

I was wondering the same thing. I know cooking spray is like a main staple of almost any meal preperation for me now, so anything non-perishable/shippable please don't hesitate to ask.

Also, how's the yarn over there? I got some GORGEOUS alpaca at Pennsic and I'm trying to find a nice pattern use it for. I'm thinking of knitty's Tubey?

Then I also have some nice cashmere blend tha may end up as a Tempting or Tempting II.

First though, I think I want to make a simple sweater for Jamie. I'm almost thinking of just swatching, measuring and calculating and just going without a pattern, but that makes me nervous. Any good calculators out there you know of?

Tubey is a great pattern. I keep thinking about knitting it myself. Heck, maybe this weekend. I did meander into one yarn store on Saturday. Didn't buy anything, buy bags of yarn everywhere. Very random.

Third offer for a care package. I'm glad to find that you're having luck finding some things though.

care package extravaganza! I love it!

when we were in costa rica it took 2 days to find a cooler - hooray for cheese!
