I am so proud of myself. I was actually the only non-asian in this market and people looked weird at me :-). And of course &#8211; I had no idea what I bought (just asked other customers). But I got excellent Chinese green tea and original Japanese green Tea leaves (not tested yet). I guess I&#8217;ll go there more often, I even found this weird Japanese &#8220;Bonito&#8221; (or so) fish stuff.<br \/>\n&#8230; and then Kroger wanted to ripp me off &#8230; forr the 4th time. So I had an item that was labeled as &#8220;2 for $5&#8221; and was charged $6.27 (obviously an error &#8211; such a strange price) at the cashier. I am beginning to develop the habit to remember all prices and check them afterwards. They gave me the money back without any question &#8230; but still! It is the 4th time &#8230; this is no coincidence (actually, I&#8217;ve not seen anything getting cheaper yet).<br \/>\nAnd, I finally cooked wakame soup with the (excellent)\u00c2\u00a0 ito wakame (dried seaweed strips) that Jungjin gave me last year. And it is excellent! I have to do this more often (looks like more Saraga mart). It&#8217;s easy too &#8230; I just took lots of water, soaked and rinsed the seaweed, added 2 cans of tuna, 1\/2 celery &#8220;head&#8221;, 3 carrots, 7 mushrooms, soy sauce,\u00c2\u00a0 pepper and the ultra-hot Korean seasoning that I found in my cupboard (courtesy of Miho, some months ago). And yeah, it&#8217;s really easy (just wait) and tastes very good (and is nearly fat-free (only the fish)).
