Why can I not find anywhere to buy pectin? The only place I've found is Amazon, but the shipping costs more than the product does.

The kind of pectin you use to make jelly?

Can't you buy pectin at the market?

Yep, the kind used to make jelly. The Safeway at the Watergate doesn't have it. The Whole Foods in Dupont Circle doesn't have it. The Safeway in Georgetown might, but getting there is enough of a pain that I might as well just buy it online. I just found a way to get it on Amazon that qualifies for the Super Saver shipping, though.

I know it's often in unlikely places in grocery stores. It also shows up in old-fashioned hardware stores, but you probably don't have one of those nearby.

I ordered it online. Might take a few weeks to get here, but since I've never canned anything before, I might as well try some of the recipes that are just fruit in syrup first, and save jelly for once I'm sure I've figured out canning. Going to go to the farmers market tomorrow to see what sorts of fruit is in season.

Only a US citizen can have a US passport, right? Let's say a certain agency of the US govt. wants to give a non-US citizen permission to enter the US (what a passport does) and this person has no country of residence to give her a passport
Huh...there's gotta be ways for people who end up as refugees, or born in camps and stuff, but I know that can be a huge problem for them, if they are born without a country, technically. For example. I'd definitely say Stephanie might be your best Buffista bet for answering this question!
ita, that's madness! I'm kinda wishing you had posted though, it sounds like you'd have made some interesting posts!

Oh, man, ita, I'm sorry.
ION all about me, I have a nephew! My first one! I'm all surprised, and frankly pleased for my dad, who had 3 sons and 2 daughters and out of the five of us had only gotten 3 girl grandchildren so far...
A boy! ::hands out virtual chocolate cigars::
I couldn't wish it on a more deserving father: my brother was unbelievably difficult as a child. Heh.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thumbs up to Maria.
Me?
I'm sorry about the pain. I know it doesn't do a damn thing to help, but I'm sorry just the same. You deserve more.
Wait! I didn't even get as far as the pain meds--those were the anti-nause meds I was to take 1/2 an hour before the pain meds.
Maybe the docs have been advocating the wrong treatment. Think outside the box people. Maybe ita needs Compazine rather than anti-migraine meds.
Ooh, looks like the the two cells are merging to attack Michigan.
So, from this we can guess that God is a Penguins fan?
Bwahahahahahahaha! Not my God. YGMV.
I have a nephew!
Congratulations!
