Oh boy this sounds so delicious! However, most of the ingredients are not something that I could even find at my local grocery store. Too specialized, too unusual, too hard to find for me. I don't live anywhere near the places you'd have to shop, therefore its waaaaay too impractical. Thanks though, wish I could make it but, no.
