 From your local grocery?
Oh, yeah. You're way up there in Yankee land. :-)

I will also call my Central Market store tomorrow and see if they have 
it. But the shipping might put it out of your price range. Do you need 
to make it entirely out of blue corn? Or could you use some of the blue 
corn masa harina and mix it with some cheaper regular corn masa harina? 
That would lighten it, but should still give a blue color.
