3 - and don't get me started on 'squash' - I wanted something like Robinson's Barley Water, not a mini pumpkin!.
My findings so far: -You can buy Robinson's if you are wiling to pay huge money in the International eisle. They don't have no added sugar ones anyway though. -If like me, you think it's far too expensive, you can buy bottles of Propel which tastes a bit like squash. It's sold in the water eisle in my store and is flavoured water. -Stay away from the crystals that you disolve in water as taste like plastic. -Iced tea can be suprisingly like squash. I didn't think I'd like it so never tried it before but Starbucks Passion one tastes a bit like summer fruits by robinsons. Wait until you need cream or flour. That took me a good half hour alone to work out! |

Maybe you can rent them by the hour? That would be manageable.

Well there's your problem! Round our way Fry's is an electronics store...a bit like the offspring of an unholy alliance between Dixons and Comet on steroids ... next time you're back in Blighty go into Dixons and ask for a can of Beans and see what they do;)
So in terms of food Fry's = Kroger, eh? Here Kroger = Fred Meyers, which if you take out a bunch of letters becomes Frys...hmm. |

-Stay away from the crystals that you disolve in water as taste like plastic. I quite enjoyed figuring it all out when we first moved! As I was here on an H4visa I had fudge all else to do!! |
