Got a road trip to Oregon coming up, so I'm putting together orders of fancy-ass heirloom beans, grits, and Southern-style fine cornmeal for us to pick up at @specklet.bsky.social 's, as one does.

I was going to do a Penzey's order, too--damn, I miss Penzey's--but it turns out we can just go to their store in Portland. Which could be dangerous. *looks up how many spices we're allowed to bring home*

I have often thought that the US and Canadian citizens could have a thriving trade in these kinds of foods (and also Trader Joe's stuff) in exchange for your excellent potato chips, Coffee Crisp, etc.

Woooo hoooo!
