I'm about to head back home for summer vacation. I thought I would share the list of things I'm going to buy while I'm there, stuff that either isn't available here or overly expensive if it is. I keep this list and jot things down as I think of them during the year. Presented in no particular order. See if you can guess which things came from this site!
corn nuts
smoke wood blocks for BBQ
rosemary
celery seeds for slaw
mustard powder for slaw
tarragon for BBQ corn on the cob
oregano
paprika
chili powder
hamburger pickles
worcestershire sauce, large bottle
lemon juicer or concentrated lemon juice
pepper grinder
peppercorns
Morton's chili blend
oven mitt
liquid measuring cup with Imperial measurements
adhesive kitchen hooks
shower grip adhesive strips
New flying tiger model airplane
regular ziploc bags
atomizer for cologne
Dr. Bronner's soap. peppermint bar soaps as gifts for females?
Some kind of small gifts for kids
Some kind of medium gifts for adults
White T-shirts
NO deodorant (this was on my list for ages and I bought it every time I went back...I have tons of it and won't need any until 2017 at least, LOL)
benadryl mosquito cream
toothpaste
vitamin D3
vitamin E
tennis shoes
3M pollution filter masks
3M wall hangers
liquor chocolates from Spec's
solid color long sleeve shirts for wear with sportscoat
Aggie jerky
tortillas
tamales
salsa
jalapenos
AAA batteries
sunflower seeds
red neckerchiefs
marshmallows
Books:
Shanghai 1937: Stalingrad on the Yangtze by Peter Harmsen
The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution 1945-1957
The Dark Valley: A Panorama of the 1930s
A Mad Catastrophe, Wawro
Henry Kissinger's new book about Asia
The Deluge: The Great War and the Remaking of Global Order 1916-1931
Other people asked me to bring:
Twizzlers
$20 worth of multiple flavors of Swisher Sweets
An "I love Texas" koozie
Maca pills (if anyone knows where to buy these in bulk, I mean thousands of them, please contact me)
Kiehl's facial cream 50ml and toner 250ml (ditto)
The last two are evidently super-hot in China right now.
