text: Wow During a biannual allergy induced laryngitis I went in search for my favorite tea dry desert lime Apparently I am the only one in PHX who knows it because no one is carrying it this year Next best thing Find dried limes This quest led me to Biaz Market The neighborhood it is in is rough but it is more poverty than unsafe The parking lot though was full Walking in I decided to spend some time wandering the aisles Within seconds I was blown away They have rose water and orange blossom water for cents The only place I had found it before sells it for Fresh produce cheeses meats Fresh herbs that I cannot find elsewhere for only cents What Am I dreaming An entire aisle of spices so many that I missed my limes I originally came here for The very very nice employee did not just tell me what aisle she walked me straight to it and when I commented about a ground version she helped me search for that Dolmas in cans and jars for under and they are freaking delicious Pita bread cents So much yummy stuff priced so well We do not often get such gems of ethnicity in Phoenix but this hidden treasure made me feel sooooooo good on a sick day I cannot wait to go back and try the restaurant buy more groceries and test my cooking skills and get get my fix of the world abroad without having to buts out the bones for an international flight
