I always find the best bargains when shopping for items within a reasonable period of their "expiration" date. Those dates are always too early and the quality of the goods is still quite acceptable for a while beyond. Plentiful and quite inexpensive generally as long as the expiration date is clearly marked. When he expiration date is in question you can end up overpaying for goods hat should have been marked down.

Ah yes. All young grasshoppers should heed the fact that it does indeed take time to master the stray cat strut. Best to help the belief in Santa Claus persist until the lights go down on the city and the sun shines o'er the bay.

Mina san - Kwanzaa omedetougozaimasu!
mjm -- I got you a Basel mug...
Checked your site today ... it seems you may already have it.
In any case, let's meet in the New Year for Mabo and possibly mug handing over ceremony. I'm in town again from Jan 10.

I'm in the US right now and made the colossal mistake of ordering mabodofu at P.F. Chang's a couple of days ago. The food runner pronounced it something like "may-boo-tah-foo", the tofu was deep-fried (and possibly cheese), and the sauce tasted like Heinz 57.
Did I mention that I'm in withdrawal?
