looking for buddha's hand

Whole Foods in Hingham usually has it - when it is in season. Saw it a few months ago and in prior years...

Corn husks on the South Shore?

Thanks everyone. They seem to be around when I don't need them, and gone when I do! I had a friend suggest using banana leaves instead - which are available frozen at just about every Asian market - so it's banana leaf tamales this weekend!

Corn husks on the South Shore?

I'm trying to make tamales and need to find corn husks. Any ideas for something near Weymouth/Quincy?

Dinner before South Shore Music Circus

Try the bar at the Red Lion - downtown Cohasset. Good food, cozy bar setting.

Deli near Penn Station?

Any recommendations for a good deli in or near Penn Station? Closer is better as I will have kids and parents in tow. Don't have time to get over to Katz's, but would like to get a good sandwich.

Granite mortar and pestle search

Most Latin-American markets will have molcajetes - relatively inexpensive as well. I remember seeing them at a little market in East Boston where Bennington and Chelsea intersect.

Place to find frozen hatch green chilis?

Whole Foods in Hingham had fresh Hatch chiles last fall. I roasted and froze my own.
I've never seen any frozen ones around here, but you can mail order them from http://www.nmcchile.com.

Angelas...then what?

Go to Jalisco - fantastic Mexican at 293 Bennington in East Boston. Tiny place but great food.

Boston Best Mexican Food?

Hands down - Jalisco in East Boston. Tiny place, big menu. Amazing homemade salsas.
