thanks for posting this sug (i have taken to thinking of you as "sug" a la flo in "Alice") the ingredients are mostly cheap, which is great. i need cheap food, yet with a variety of flavors. if you have anything more with an indian flair, i'd be very interested. i was watching a travel show about mexico last night, and they spent a long time on all the corn-based foods they have. every fall i become enthusiastic about domestic persuits, including good meals on a budget. i adore lentils, but my repertior with them is limited...
thanks sug!
