Looks like dried coconut milk powder might be findable in Asian/Indian markets. An online source possibility:

Powdered egg whites are easier; many big grocery stores carry them in the baking aisle. “Just Whites” is one brand I’ve used. You could also try King Arthur Flour, a reliable source of other baking ingredients:

I’ve loved my tub of powdered egg whites to emptiness… I usually use them instead of real eggs when I’m baking stuff. They really whip up to real egg whites when you add water, but I really like them because of their shelf life- they’ll last forever. I found mine in the baking section of our grocery store, by the chocolate chips.
The powdered coconut is maybe a bit trickier of a find? – Grinding the really dried out coconut flakes (as opposed to the soft really sweet ones) in a coffee grinder should work fine- and its ok if you have coconut chunkies; they’d blend in with the ice bits.

Iih, I love Orange Julius! Now, where on earth to find powdered egg white and powder coconut? You just sent me on a big quest.

there was a guy i went to college with who thought he was god’s gift to women and a supreme jerk to them at the same time; imagine my glee when i found out he worked at the orange julius in the mall and even he couldn’t make the uniform look good . ever since then i’ve been quite fond of the drink. thanks for the recipe! i like that this uses powdered egg whites instead of the real gloopy stuff!

My favorite is when people would ask me where I was “from”. That question still makes me pause a bit.

You know, it’s funny… I wasn’t a military brat, but my parents moved us around just like you described – Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Connecticut, Puerto Rico, Greece, England… all stops on the whirlwind tour, and some more than once. So I really relate to your memories and specifically, the memories tied to ‘unchanging’ things. My Nana still lives in Edgerton, WI, where we used to spend every other Christmas, and I remember how shattered I was when the local A&W where we’d gone for foot longs and rootbeer floats with my grandparents and great-grandparents, gave way for a Culvers. It’s just not the same.

Thanks for the lovely memory and for stirring some of my own.
