More than once I have mentioned that the availability of some of my favorite foods here is, well, nil. One of those foods is peanut butter. While this is for the better of my waistline, I have to say that I really miss it.
About a month ago a friend (Hutch) sent an email asking what my address was, and saying that he wanted to send a package. It had my curiosity up to pretty high levels because he wasn't saying what he was sending.
Time passed, and I nearly forgot all about it. Then a big heavy box comes in the door with the mail. From the United States. Filled with several jars of extra crunchy peanut butter.
Friends are awesome. Thanks Hutch and family!

Isn't it amazing how some things we take for granted here in the US just aren't available anywhere else?
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I had a friend who returned to Denmark after over 20 years in the US. She missed "Jello", so we'd send her a big box of assorted flavors every few months.
Oh, and so you know... I found your link on Blogrush. It's important we all know our traffic sources.
Hi Shari. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. The funny thing is that it works both ways; there are things that I will miss from here when I get to the US. Like tree-ripened mangos and bananas, copuaçu, açaí, and guarana soda.
ReplyDeleteAll the same, it makes one's week/month to get something like this from home.
