With significant and horrible exceptions (as at Charlick's)
I've generally done okay with service. But those exceptions
really do color my memories and attitudes, often well beyond
the meals themselves.

I started being careful about keeping backups of my posts
shortly before then, and the recipe looked familiar, so it
was easy to just do a search, eh, walla. Anyhow, the Internet
haunts you; luckily, most recipe collectors remove identifying
marks, so I get haunted less than I might. The recipe I posted
is actually preserved (minus the original attribution, which
is not to me, in fact without any attribution at all) - on
Google it's a oner or hole-in-one or whatever you choose to
call it, if you use the right search terms. The one hit is on
Uncle Phaedrus, Finder of Lost Recipes.

I am surprised - it's a big product from a big (though a division
of Beecham, now Glaxo) company. And it has a big following across
the globe, especially in Asia. There's got to be Canadian
distribution; perhaps you can call up Glaxo and find out, then
get the Co-op to get a case or two for you. Or you can always go
online - http://www.abitofhome.ca/page/C1/PROD/3091701 has it for
C$6 plus shipping for 200g or something like $13/lb, a little rich
but not out of line if you are desperate.
