    Fresh pita breads with local toppings ! I suspect we are in the same part of town ! The nearest international airport is also an hour away ;)

    :)
    Same about the Vegetable tikka masala.
    The Madras lentils is ok, though I would not recommend it.

    Truer words never said @peartree
    The only one thing I want to come out of Costco is with one of those diamond jewelry - not the teensy weensy ones; the $36,000+ ones that tantalize me as soon as we enter.
    Hmmm, if I had that much spending power why would I even have a time management thread! :rolleyes:

    @peartree
    I followed the instructions and ended rinsing under cold water.
    Came out good.

    The first time I made the quinoa-brown rice noodles I just soaked in rasam - my ishtyle of drunken noodles :hmmm:
    Last Sunday I made tomato- sevai style. My H liked it, which is a rarity.

    You have one option though. Send the 1/2 used bag to me, I'll send you some prepared sevai.

    Lentil Pasta - Yeah it takes some getting used to the taste. I liked it. I am the only one having it in our family.

    @Rihana
    Not a problem at all as long as you find it before I pay. :)
    I've done the same embarrassing thing that @peartree wrote about, so many times... so many times:facepalm:

    No rasamalai, no paneer, no tandoori chicken at our Costco!

    Sukhi's Samosas are ok.
    Organic Mangoes seasonally.
    Sketchers slip-on for women, kids sandals/shoes if available make a good deal.
    Kirkland Orange body wash - must buy (smell reminds Kissan orange squash of childhood days :)

    Rest is covered in most of your list.
