Alaska is not a foreign country. At least not if you live in the United States.

The almond flour is on the way. Maybe. What I know for sure is that the flour has shipped, but I don't have a tracking number because my foreign address requires an alternate shipping method. Blegh.

She gave me the backhand with that one. It smarts. And it makes me love her all the more.
