Cooking question

Hi -- I'm moving to Addis Ababa from the US in November and I'm trying to decide what to pack and what to buy once I get there.  Can I buy good-quality kitchen utensils there (I'm guessing I can, but not sure)?  Also -- what are the spices like?  I'm seriously considering packing a year's supply of Paul Prudhomme's!

On another note, can I get DEET products there?  The International Clinic here is freakin' me out a bit with their mosquito horror stories!!

Thanks,
Laurie from Ohio
