The first time I ever had corn bread/cake was in California (where I spent my teenage days) on Thanksgiving day. I wasn't so familiar with corn products in England, so the amount of corn used in ingredients surprised me. Corn isn't a daily food in Japan either, so it's a fuss to shop for corn flower and other corn products. Usually I try to buy corn flower for stock whenever I bump into one randomly in a grocery store.Recently food has been a very powerful tool to give me flashbacks -- I knew that scent is the strongest substance that reminds you of the past -- but it seems to me that taste has been giving me meomory flashbacks. Maybe it's just me getting old, and wanting to look back on the past........ :-)

I can bring you some corn bread mixes to stock in your pantry. ^_^

Thanks!!! That will help me a lot, along with ziploc and advil :-)
Hi Tomoko, This is Sara's mom. Welcome to blogging! I know you will have so much fun with it. Your chili and cornbread dishes look wonderful. All the best,
Nicole
Hello Okomot! I love the title of your blog! Maybe I will start one too, this summer, although I'm not very good about keeping up on it during the school year. :P
I didn't know you loved corn bread so much! It's really nice of Sara to offer to bring you some corn flour. Would you like me to bring you anything? We have a huge thing of sandwich size ziploc bags, because you can buy them in bulk at CostCo. I've had them for a year. :P Let me know if I can give you some of them, or anything else.
Yay, you made a blog! ^_^
Wow, I had no idea that you loved cornbread so much. Looks good, yum! They sell blue corn flour at our local grocery store (the wonderful Market of Choice--ask Sara about it, hee), but I don't think we can bring that into Japan because it's not professionally packaged. I can try and find some that is, though, if you'd like blue corn flour.
Please do let me know if I can bring you anything from the U.S., too, so Sara doesn't have to pack it all up herself. Is there anything your mom wants, for instance?
I'm almost done with the school year! Less than a week to go!!! ^___^

Thank you very much for your comments!! I was actually seeking for an oppertunity to make a blog for a while -- but since I am very lazy about daily routines, I wans't sure I could keep it up. But it seems to me that pleasure overwhelms it. It's a good tool for me to keep up with my English too :-)

Thank you for your comments!! It was a surprised to myself, actually how much I loved corn bread. Isn't that funny? I didn't realize it until I came back to Japan and found out that it wansn't as easy to get corn bread.
Ziplocs help me muchly!! They are very costly here in Japan. By linens I meant table runners and such. cushion covers and that kind of stuff. But really, don't worry!!
