Hubby gets all his spices there when he makes his curries, which are great. You can get poppadoms, nan breads, samosas.
The also sell korean food and some English food.
Came across some Organic Weetabix for under $3 a box, I couldn't believe it, as I can never get over the cost of cereals over here.
Anyway I am obviously very sad and easy to please........ must remember to get out more.

Anyway, back at the ranch... 
A pub on the corner of the street that we live on would be wonderful.
Every house I lived in back in Blighty either had a pub on the street or one round the corner. Somewhere to escape when you've had enough of the wife and kids, and need a break for an hour or so to sup a couple of pints and have a natter with the neighbours.
Our nearest pub here is 5 miles away!
American suburbia is utter mince!

I was trying to describe a pork pie to an American friend the other day, I couldn't do it! Describing the pastry is impossible as I couldn't think of anything to compare it to!
