Found Tamari online but I like to buy from local sources as much as possible. It was an interesting chain of events. Went to HerbMart in Plano. When I asked if I could order a bottle, I was rebuffed! I responded in a less than diplomatic fashion, but only because I felt that a store of that nature would want to cater to someone like me (call me old-fashioned...<snark>).
I apologized for being rude and brought my behavior back to a my more respectable level and explained how frustrating this disease can be at times. I was fortunate that I struck a compassionate chord with the person who was the manager of the day, because she ended up saying she would order a couple of bottles for me. I suggested that if she would start stocking this product, I would be sure to spread the word to other celiacs to "come and get it!"
It's all about the win-win :-)
I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Christian. I have a feeling I will be seeking Andrew's advice for a lot of ingredients from now on. I won't be shy to ask him to score some products for me ;-)
In fact, as I think about it, I think it would be fun to someday arrange a visit to Andrew's Hood. (Are ya payin' attention, Gryge?) We haven't taken a vacation in awhile...it would be fun to have a purpose...cookin' and shoppin' and visitin' :-D
