If you do go to the Ranch Market, they have peeled cow heads. They might be a problem to carry back on the plane. Try the restaurant attached to the market. Best chile rellenos ever.
Second the Mexican Coca Cola.

Radio Shack is (was) having the XITEL cassette/LP to USB .wav and MP3) hardware/software package on clearance. Mine cost $50. Works great. Downside, it copies at the play speed of your player. Unless you are a very young person you might not have enough time to transfer 1000+ cassettes and 500 LPs to .WAV to MP3.

This was just a plain corn tortilla. The harrow disk still had the open mounting holes in the bottom and could not be used for liquidy foods. Will be asking my friends in VT where I can find an old blade. Yum

I was told this was bone powder. The powder did not seem to impart taste by itself, It was the lack of any flavor added in the cooking that made it so nice.

MS Visio, if you have access to a copy, is also good. I have stopped using all Avery templates as the integrated formatting can be a hassle to deal with. Visio is more "what you see is what you get."

Somewhat specialized but if you go to either the Gardner or MFA, try walking there through the Fens. The municipal rose garden towards the end of the fens will be in bloom soon. Check out the concerts at Berkley School of Music and The New England Conservatory. The conservatory orchestra also has concerts at Sanders Theatre at Harvard. Wonderful acoustics..

Durian is available from time to time in some of the oriental groceries in Lowell. They have no odor and are somewhat bland in taste. Durian ice cream has sometimes been available in the main exhibition building of the national park (just across the street from the steam locomotive.) Same description of the flavor applies.

Peanut butter combined with chicken broth, half & half heated. Add horseradish to taste.

People in New England use Bag Balm. Look for it in farm supply and feed stores. If you do get something like glove-in-a-bottle it is less expensive from an industrial supply house. Same as

What is being done to control the itching? I had this as a child and found that for some unknown reason it became intolerable at bedtime. This itch can be so intense that you cannot simply tell a person to stop. The itching would stop by applying heat (check with your doctor first.) I used very hot tap water. The itch would increase, then vanish and I was able to then sleep through the night.

A local museum, the Currier Gallery in Manchester NH, had a Frank Stella exhibition some time ago. At the opening, they set poster paint and paper in the courtyard for people who thought color field painting was easy for them to duplicate. I watched the messes being done by these people and then went back inside and looked at the Stella paintings with new and humbled vision.

Just got back from Mexico where I had tortiillas cooked on an old harrow blade. The blade was dusted with bone meal that was used as an anti stick. The tortillas were buttered and served with diced onion and a touch of origano. Yum. The concave face of the blade made it very easy to flip the tortillas with your fingers.

Crafstmen is OK for casual home use with the exception of their screwdrivers. The heat treating is not as good as some of the more expensive ones and can snap if used as either a wedge or prybar.
