Happy Birthday @VanillaGorilla! I bet this is going to remind you of your birthdays as a kid, home alone, no one else showing up. (Sorry, that was mean. Just fucking around. ) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday! I got you a cheerful Democratic Socialist: (For other people, this should be common sense, but no politics.)
I forgot which country in South America your girlfriend is from. My son, birthday April 5, has a girlfriend from Colombia. I bought them plantains today and she is delighted to cook them. And I learned what plantains are. Any advice for how to buy South American food?
Ask your son's girlfriend that. That will show that you like her. BTW, Colombia is beautiful. If you have the chance, you should go.
She's the one who wants to know. It's not the same as Mexican food. In a bigger city, there might be a specialized grocery store, but not here.
I bet Vancouver BC would have stores. They have many Colombian restaurants. https://www.yelp.ca/search?find_desc=colombian restaurants&find_loc=Vancouver, BC
If there are no Canadians in Costco, that tells me we can't get through the border. Besides, I can't because of those 10 years in the loony asylum after the serial moderator attacker conviction, and she can't because she's on a tourist visa. My son brought her back from the U. of Malta. They are refugees from a disease travel ban.
