You have no idea how comforting it is to hear you (on your island in the S Pacific) complain about same things we do (on our island in the N Pacific)! Most recently, we had a cheese shortage- there were classes being held in people's homes on how to make your own mozzarella and ricotta. <br />I try to think of grocery shopping as an adventure and living out of the world like this as glorified camping and sometimes it helps.<br />I'd offer to mail you PB, but we're out here too!<br />Cheers, Amber at OurCharmedLife.netAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03592227803635297874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109763602858109308.post-40953455283152617432015-05-09T03:57:18.649+10:002015-05-09T03:57:18.649+10:00Yes, I agree, vegemite is pretty bad, almost as ba...Yes, I agree, vegemite is pretty bad, almost as bad as "Buckleys". I worked with an Aussie and he always had that vegemite product as I wouldn't really call it a food product! Looks like your mom is going to come through for you!Karen and I now have a new home and we are out in the "sticks" but we have 6 grocery stores within a 20 minute drive which is actually better than we had before, now that I think about it!Sounds like you have to do a lot of planning ahead for things. Maybe you could "borrow" some PB from those nice neighbours of yours! Cheers!

Actually, I was planning on making my famous Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares for Mother's Day; they too make a delicious breakfast pick me up.<br /><br />If you need me to ship some PB & tea to Australia for you to pick up when you sail Papillon there just let me know.<br />Love MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109763602858109308.post-8510132088855691722015-05-08T17:41:59.318+10:002015-05-08T17:41:59.318+10:00Dena, nothing is more appalling than Vegemite.

Technically, we're on sabbatical, but Erik fell off the wagon and went back to work temporarily. A triply-extended temporarily, but temporarily all the same. We hope to get back on track by the end of the year.<br /><br />Next time I pass through Australia, you better believe I'll be working a list!Amy Schaeferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263719891092841767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109763602858109308.post-64119697315520901122015-05-08T14:32:28.496+10:002015-05-08T14:32:28.496+10:00So this post is dated tomorrow.

Definitely if you're just visiting, bring back a case of peanut butter lol.<br /><br />It must be difficult to have such trouble finding staples that most of us consider "normal". My father-in-law lived in hicktown, off a gravel and dirt road, and he had four freezers and two refrigerators in his garage, and a pantry that occupied an entire room. It was an hour drive over winding mountain roads just to get to the nearest "corner market" and two hours to the nearest "supermarket". Even his nearest neighbor was half a mile away. So he went to the store once a month for the big shopping trip, and he made a smaller trip at the mid-point. I think I'm too much of a spoiled city girl to tolerate that for too long. You have great fortitude and a great attitude!<br /><br />PS - is the yucky stuff sold on your island that pretends to be peanut butter as awful as I've read that Vegemite is?<br />Dena Pawlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444683810125395220noreply@blogger.com
