Excellent info, Amy. Thank you for that. Tis another fascinating item I'll

be hunting for at my Asian store. It truely is amazing on the tons of things

that are out there that isn't well known or recognized in whatever part of

the world we are in. So much stuff available or used elsewhere that isn't

generally in our own cultures.

 

Ok, off to bed. I have a big list of things to accomplish tomorrow

Have a wonderful and safe trip, Amy. Have a great time with the fam!
