Saying "I Care" with a Food Care Packet
I must admit, as of lately, life has been interesting. Interesting, both in the Webster definition of the word and in my definition. If you know me well enough, you should know what I mean by interesting. It's been interesting by definition, by default, by circumstances, by choice and by chance. Lots of changes took place, and hopefully more, positive and uplifting changes are coming!
Meanwhile, I've had moments of doubt, frustration, and sometimes sadness. Rather than keeping it completely to myself, I chose to share my feelings with friends and family and ask for help. Somehow, they chose to ignore my pleas for cash (shocking!) but when I asked for food, they listened!
Soon enough, I had a box at my door from my sister, aka MangoTomato.
What was inside the box? A perfect combination of sweet and spicy.
The ultimately addictive Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds - to spice up my life.
Popcorn in three different colors - to pop my blues away. I have already popped the red corn on top of the stove with coconut oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.
And obviously, lots of chocolate - dark, intense, with orange, and almonds.
Thank you!
Have you sent or received a care package? What was inside? Please share!

My dad's care packages from Venezuela are the best: casabe (cassava cread), sazona-todo (Venezuelan seasoning), chocolate, pure cocoa bars, and always an iTunes gift card :-D
Yumm! I like all the chocolate...
Excellent choice! ;)
How do you do the popcorn just on the stove?
I love sending food care packages! I have sent them to my sister when she was at college, with homemade cookies or brownies inside. For Christmas we sent one to my sister-in-law in Korea, where she has trouble finding certain things that she likes (certain candies and beef jerky being two of these things)
Hope all is well with you, Anna!
