I stopped by the International market on Southwestern the other day, and found

some things to be quite reasonably priced. They had lg packages of turmeric and

other spices for less than $5. Basmati rice for $12-13, comparable to Sam's Club

pricing, plus large pita breads at 1.49 a pkg (Albertson's are priced at 2.49 a

pkg). They are frozen immediately after baking to retain freshness, a good thing

since pita bread dries out so quickly. For the bakers, I know they are easy to

make, but I tend to be lazy for just the two of us.  Anyhow, they have a variety

of Dal, including lentils and chickpeas. Yes, they have both white and brown

chick peas and at least three types of lentils. If you are exploring middle

eastern cooking, you should be able to find your spices there.  I was pleasantly

suprised, as they had almost as much as the store in did in Cleveland and we

don't have near the middle eastern population here.  Oh, their meat is

conventionally grown, but if you are looking for goat.... Anyway just an update

on my search for the uncommon.
