Here is our rather small sealift grocery order for this year (not half of what we could have ordered, what can I say.. money is tight). Still it did amount to $4200+. Two crates and 7 boxes of frozen (frozen isn’t pictured, it went to the freezer right away). 
About our only sealift story this year is our ketchup. We ordered three cases of 2.84 litre containers. I’m just not sure how a can that big is going to look on the table. Yeah, we thought we were getting bottles and now have to come up with some containers.
And the Spruce Beer? When I first moved to the Arctic and did my sealift I found pop called Spruce Beer listed so I ordered a couple of cases. Well I love it, it tastes like a Christmas Tree. It also has the added benefit that no one else I know up here will drink it, so I don’t have to share. I’ve hardly had a pop in the last couple of months, trying to regain my slim girlish figure, but I have to admit that last night I drank two.

Hahaha…that’s awesome.
You get something by sealift to above the Arctic Circle that I’ve never even heard of in all my life in the south?
Thanks Jaimie.
I think it’s a Quebec thing Pamela. Most people I know from Quebec have heard about Spruce Beer. And Quebec is where our sealift orders originate.
Oh, you’ve given me a quest, Clare. Now I need to see if Hi-Time Wine Cellar or BevMo! carry spruce beer.
Taste like a Christmas Tree? Where’s the Fruit Loops?
Isn’t it nice when the ships comes in. All that yummy food. I read in one of your previous posts that you are a fan of madhur jaffrey’s cookbooks. Me too. We’ve got several of them. She’s a wonderful cook, and her recipes are quite easy to follow. We ran out of asafetida years ago, and I never see it available in stores anywhere.
Wine Cellar Amy? It is soda, not real beer.
Any Fruitloops in the house get immediately consumed by Travis, Dave. So I try not to have any here (mean dad).
It is nice when your ship comes in. And the Taste of India cookbook is so much more than a cookbook. There are sections on each region of India and the foods of each regions. It has many great pictures, and then interspersed amongst the text and pictures are the recipes. Type of book that would be very comfortable sitting on a coffee table.
