I got a cool TJ's Tiki Hut tin of cookies. It would have been cool even if the cookies sucked, but they were really good, sorta like Famous Amos.

They also have nice boil-in-a-bag spicy curry that isn't perishable...it keeps for a long while. I like the Spinach Panneer (Sp?)

Also there are Green Olive's from Morocco called "Crespo" that come in a little paper envelope...those olives are really strong. BIG Garlic! (They cost about .79 a package) For the money the coffees are a good value too.

The French Roast is flavorful, and you get a lot for the money, but the Pacorro is really good for @ $7.00 a pound.

One of the best deals in hooch anywhere is the Finnalggan Scotch. It's an Islay, so it's got heavy peat (Iodiny smoke) but it's quite nice if you like that.

They are really secretive about who bottles it, but it's kind of known in the industry to be "Coal Isola" The Trader Joe's Brand sells for 16.99, the other sells for between 45.00 and 60.00

Tell yer brother to get some of that for when you visit if he can't ship it.
