Things you miss

Over the past month Jim and I have been buying various strange and wonderful ingredients for making carbonated yogurt and milk powder tablets (2 different products, thank you). This has involved us needing to contact all sorts of different companies and we discovered after a while that Amazon is a good place to go look for ingredients. We ordered pomegranate flavor and powdered cocoa butter and powdered blueberries and other fun stuff.

So, since the credit card bill arrived this month there has been quite a lot of boss-type interest taken in (I assumed) all these strange companies listed. I have been asked several times what I ordered on Amazon and why and I have (innocently) responded that they are ingredients.

Anyway today I got another e-mail from the administrator (Ann) asking for details of what was ordered from each company (I don't usually get asked that) and so I sent her exact details...she responded with a grin that what she really wanted to know was what had been ordered from 'the Herbal Love Shop'. I don't usually miss stuff like that but even though I had actually been on the site I hadn't registered that 'herbal love shop' didn't mean 'shop for people who love herbs' (well people call their companies all sorts of stupid things and half of them include the word 'love'). Oh, and I hadn't noticed the sidebar either:


I feel that it is possibly unfortunate that I ordered these things in February of all months...

My goodness, they have an eclectic collection of products. Everything from powdered maple flavour to Cat Treats Baking Kit, aniseed toothpaste, ginseng candy... that's not even counting their "love" section.

What would you use that much citric acid for, given the bar on the left?
Maybe I don't want to know.
