At last, I has my seaweed...

kengrI like using dried seaweed in my ramen and a few other things. But it's been months since I ran out because the store I used to buy it at is no longer a single bus trip away. They split the route about half a mile from it, so I have to wait and transfer. Yeah, I could maybe walk it, but no thanks.
Also, since the Winco we started going to a few months back doesn't have the Nong Shimh Neo Guri ramen (They do have the Shin Ramyun) I've needed to go there to get that too.
The store next to the apartment does have the Neo Guri, but at twice the price. Nope.
Anyway, I've been putting off a trip to stock up for some time, and last weekfayanora suggested that we *both* make a trip to the *other* location of the store (Hong Phat) as it was bigger and more convenient for her.
So we did that yesterday. I managed to miss *two* busses due to one thing and another, and I still beat Fay.
It was fun looking at all the stuff available. I got my ramen, and some bean thread. I also picked up a package of rice noodles. Bright yellow ones. Fay recommended them.
There's lot of other stuff to consider in the future. One thing I considered was the KitKats, They had Kit Kats from Japan(?) Alas, we could figure out what flavors they were and at $4.95 a bag, I didn't feel like experimenting.
Definitely need to go back and explore the seafood section!
Unfortunately, the store felt rather hot to me. Which, looking back, is odd as Fay was still bundled up in her many layers of winter robes and things. I also was feeling kinda light headed. So I grabbed a cold can of Blood Orange juice drink and headed to the checkout.
We'd been planning to hit Fred Meyer's as well (I have a gift card) but I wasn't feeling up to it. We did really well on the buses, I was able to ride the 20 with way, (it showed up just as we got to the stop) and then when we got to 60th, the 71 was already there. The driver was nice enough to wait for me to cross the street. And in very short order I was home.
The juice helped (I drank it on the bus) and I was able to sit at the computer and work on the massive mess of files Yahoo put together for me. I'm gonna have to cut back on working on them though, as my clicking finger is very sore...
