Ha, Ha, Footloose, no farther than that, but I might bring dried kamias. Saw this lady who had everything in her suitcase including what looked like vacuum packed food items the size of her maleta. Of course she had a time with the customs inspector going thru the bowels of her suitcase.

Dried shrimps from Palawan? They are not so dry as those I get here and rehydrates well and of course flavors my soups better. I am also hoping the deeper and cleaner waters of Palawan may not harbor as many discarded batteries in the ocean.

Connie C, dried shrimps from Puerto Princesa, Queensland butter in tins, what else? Are you that Batangueña lady I heard about who was going through customs with a large bundle of dried squids who when stopped by an officer to inquire what it was, panicked and blanked out on what it’s called in English and nervously blurted out, “ that’s my pusit.”

Yes, butter can make one’s heart skip a beat, but only MM! HA,HA,HA!

Had to settle for the red Queensland in my suitcase for my trip back to the US….still better than the usual shelf brands and cheaper than Plugra. No Golden Churn butter available in the grocery store at the time.

hahaha…these are funny comments. anyway, MMs blog has elevated my butter-tastes to Lurpak and others with high fat content. they taste so much better. Fage and good sea salt are among the other “eye openers”..and thanks for inspiring me to bake again. in an hour or so, I will make a batch of Mamon for a get-together tomorrow.

I wonder too if it’s still unopened… or if it’s still edible? :)

but rather not tamper with it, it’s practically a relic! i hope she doesn’t throw it away! keep it like a time capsule of what was the glory days of butter…. haha! :)
