Can't Always Have What You Want.

It's funny how in different parts of the United States there are different foods and types of foods.

Since moving to TN there are many foods that we can't get here that we used to have in MA.

Drew's favorite is Ellio's

Yummy pizza

Ellio's is just frozen pizza but it is something that Jamie & I had when we were growing up and of course our kids love it too.

I looked every where for it when we moved to TN and not finding it I looked it up on the computer.  I found out that it is manufactured in MA only and sold only in New England.  Can't even have it shipped to us.  When we went back to MA in January we actually had a cooler with us and stocked up on it, bringing back 12 boxes with us.  We are down to our last box.

Another food we love is Yasou dressing.

Salad dressing

This dressing is an oil based dressing with seasonings.  It is the BEST dressing to use when you are making greek salads.  Jamie & I eat alot of salads and used to love this dressing.  It's another product only manufactured in MA and sold only in MA.  Of course we stocked up on this too bringing home 15 bottles.  This went fast though and we haven't had any in weeks.

The last thing we brought home with us was Ah-So Sauce.

Ah-So sauce

This sauce is what is used to make Chinese spareribs like you get at Chinese food restaurants.  We like to make Chinese style pork chops with it.  We also cut the pork chops up small and cook with the sauce and put it in pork fried rice.

We don't have this often, so we still have some in the cabinet. We had brought home 4 bottles with us.

These are just some of the foods we love and can't have anymore all the time.

We also miss the restaurant the 99.  That's not down here in TN either. Also the restaurant Christo's which was one of our favorite when we lived on the south shore.  I haven't seen Chinese Sausage here either. We still haven't been able to find a pizza place that makes pizza like you get on the south shore in MA but we are used to that because we never found a great pizza place in western MA.

We will always stock up when we visit MA.  If anyone is coming to visit we would LOVE for you to bring any of this to us.  We would appreciate it very much.
