101 uses for LimeAway?

to ask

That's common outside of the military too, or was.  It goes back a ways.

It would be. The meat can't dry out the way it would in a roasting pan.
 
-> Oh the box is ready.  Should go out tomorrow so be 3-5 weeks.  Charlotte 
-> figured it would be at sea for a bit so drew 'USS Charlotte' sailing
your way 
-> and added a 'good luck bird to speed it' (the little origami thing that
might 
-> need to be straightened out due to shipping shift of the contents).

I'll see if I can figure out how.  I never learned oragami, oddly enough.  
 
-> soft ones, they would normally be dipped in a soup until 'just as
reasonably 
-> crunchy as you can handle'.  They soak up broth fast.  I have strong
teeth so 
-> no need to be careful and eat them as they are.  They are a type of
'mochi' 
-> used here and i fell in love with such my first year here.

Crunch crunch.  I'll probably soften them up due to expensive dental work.
 
-> I added in a bowl of noodles I know you cant get where you are and are 
-> charlotte's favorite.  Just add the packets all in then boiling water to
near 
-> the top (the directions wont be readable but it is the same as USA types
for 
-> this).

I've killed off bowls of Japanese instant noodles before. There are some
here in a Vietnamese grocery that are marked entirely in Japanese.  Didn't
slow me down much.
 
-> I also tucked in a small shaker of calamansi powder that i thought was
unopened
-> 
-> but i just realized may have taken the top off of and used some.  Sorry
if so, 
-> I forgot to check that before we sealed the box.

Oh well.  The horror of it all.  I'd never have known if you didn't tell
me.
 
-> The little tiny plastic containers are used here to suck up some soy
sauce from
-> 
-> a small bowl and bring with you for lunch.  Other sauces or oils are
also put 
-> in them.  Vinigar is also put in them.  If you mark them with what was
in them,
-> 
-> the soy and vinigar ones are re-usable.  The itty bitty fish shaped ones
are 
-> for patis-like stronger sauces.

Fish for fish sauce! Cool!  I can't find my bottle of Vietnamese fish sauce
for love or money.  I used some of the Thai version recently and it was a
lot saltier than I was used to.  I'll have to get some more of the
Vietnamese version.
 
-> So like, it's a mixed batch of common items here.  I wonder what you
will think
-> 
-> of the octopus candy? (evil grin).

(slurp!)  I love peppered dried squid. Octopus ought to be good too.
