hungryRecently, it seems that no one has mango trees here anymore. :( Rare are the times when mangoes are given out - to anyone. Today, our back office staff came in to work to find a HUGE box of mangoes with a thank you note attached. One of our reps, who we've been helping all of last week, owns a mango farm and was nice enough to bring some in for us. :) We were all so excited, because a mango here has become as sought after as gold. ;)
Which reminds me - my in-laws brought back some VERY interesting things for us from their recent trip to Japan. Among the candies and the pastry type things, they brought back a Hokaido potato in a vacuum-packed bag WITH the butter already on it! They also brought back a bag of chocolate covered freeze dried corn... One wonders what goes through the mind of the people who market this! I have to admit that the chocolate covered corn wasn't as horrendous as some would think. It ended up tasting like a Nestle crunch bar... sort of... And for Mark - fried cheese... I know it's been a while since I've been to Japan, but really...
I've probably spent this entire post talking about food because I can't eat any... I'm still trying to stay on my healthy food kick. See what happens when I diet - my entries are only about food. ;)
