When you live in a state with little cultural diversity finding ethnic products can be a challenge. I may have to go to a larger town to find the flour or order it online.
Thank you for the spice suggestions.
I do understand what you're saying. I once lived in a tiny town in Eastern Washington. They didn't even know what a taco was. However, we're lucky, because now, you can order just about everything online. There's a lot of great websites that sell nearly every type of food that you can think of. You might have to pay for shipping, but most of these "pantry staples" will last you a long time and make your life in the kitchen so much more interesting in the process. (IMHO)
