Back in the mid-nineties when we were there, I think Snackwell's first came to the commissary and people were snatching them up as if they were gold. For some reason they became a rare necessity. I never found much about them.Steve Harkonnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497761866380334481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-82972390108205312622009-05-19T21:16:00.000+03:002009-05-19T21:16:00.000+03:00I'm glad you LOVE it, Barbara!

So when (if) it shows up on the shelves, I will buy 4 cans each week until it is gone again. I have a huge pantry cupboard just for this purpose. To hoard. There must be 30 brands of basamati rice and as many brands of tomato paste on the store shelves here. The stores NEVER run out of rice and tomato paste. Tomato sauce? Whole different issue there and I have learned how to make tomato sauce. There is no inventory system here. None.<br />Our compound store is small. Milk, eggs, juice, cleaning supplies and pet food. But the bread is good, fresh baked daily from the restaraunt. No abiya required for the compound store. <br />Now for the compound in Riyadh? I wear what I wear here and f*** em if they don't like it. I'm 54 and if the wazoos find that appealing, well I take that as a compliment :-)<br />I have been known to throw my abiya on over my jammies too.Lindanoreply@blogger.com
