Re-stocking The Cupboard

Have been getting some food and miscellaneous kitchen supplies for the house while writing a reminder to myself in big, red, block letters to follow my own intuition in the future re: items to bring from the US or even while stopping over in Accra. Jim is always quick to say "you can find anything in Tamale, - no need to pack extra weight in our suitcases." A big jar of Skippy or Jif peanut butter would've been nice. A hand-held electric mixer (which could easily be used with a local plug/voltage adaptor). A few favorite spices, etc., etc. No doubt that some shape or form of the above can be found here but quality and cost are a different matter.
On the other hand, open air markets and roadside stands for fruit and vegetables are plentiful with the produce fresh and delicious. Preparation of meals is what takes a fair amount of time - necessity of boiling the water, for example.
In any event, we certainly don't go hungry. Unless, of course, we join our Muslim friends in this current period of fasting during the 30 days of Ramadan. No food or drink all day between sunrise and sunset.
