I dont know where to find panko breadcrumbs :(! HELP I would also be interested in email updates of weekly recipes. I love to cook but I live in a rual area that is stuck in this box of [SAME THING]. It is hard to try different styles of cooking that require seasons outside the norm. We do not have a Fresh Market or even orental stores.. Just Wal-Mart. Please help!
