Of course I'm being obstinate But the fact is people here type things
like "just go to an Asian market" just like they do "just go to TJ's", as if
everyone has one on every corner. Fact is, not everyone does. There's no
Asian market I've been able to find even in a google search within 20 miles.
Even if there was, I'm not driving 20 miles just to buy stuff at an Asian
market. The pennies it would save me are more than made up for in the cost
of gasoline used to get there and back. The Reynolds grill foil worked
perfectly for fish because it was perforated. I don't use foil when I'm
grilling steak, pork or vegetables, but for grilling fish it was perfect.
Just sayin'
