Hour and a half all together, which is a normal daily commute in Japan. I usually pick up several different odds and ends to keep in the freezer so I'll have it when the moods strike.

Today I put in an on-line order for meats... stuff I can't even get in the import shops. Smoked German bacon, both block and sliced, (Japanese bacon isn't smoked,) Cajun Andouille sausage (I'm too lazy to make them this time and starting to crave Jambalaya, ) a couple of pork shoulder roasts, and a leg of lamb.

good thing you're retired! it seems to be an almost full time occupation not only seeking out the answers to your cravings, but creating them when they are not available!
