Colavita is pretty reliable, and easy to find here in flyover country.

This place is amazing! I was there only once and it just blew me away.

it's gives me a warm, sugary glow to know that I'm not the only one on the planet who still remembers Quisp fondly! However, I'm going to have to go buy a big bag of puffed rice and a new bag of sugar to eat with it...

OK, I am SO gonna use this for dessert at next year's Passover dinner (yeah, I know... don't ask). FIL loves coconut, so it will be nice to do something to his taste for a change.

spring for a $5 sheet pan at the local discount store. make foil dinner packets, everything sliced thin, seasoned well and wrapped up in a foil pouch -- in the oven 20 minutes, or until it seems like everything would be cooked through.

@ eatorama, do you REALLY believe that anyone is 'for' terrorists? Is it possible that you have never in your entire life come into contact with anyone who has done something illegal, immoral or just plain wrong? Come to that, if you want to talk about supporting terrorism, let's talk about Sarah and Todd's close relationship with the fine folks at the Alaskan Independence Party -- secession anyone?

My husband suffered through one of his classmates eating M&Ms from a holiday tin (clank-clank) during a law school final. Oddly enough, the prof did nothing about it. Might have violated their rights...
