American treats from home

When I saw my brother and his wife in February I mentioned to them that I hadn't been able to find chocolate chips anywhere here and how much we were missing chocolate chip cookies.

So, yesterday there was a little notice in the mailbox (all in Hungarian of course) that we had a package to pick up at the post office.  I went by today.  Thankfully there is one woman in our local branch who speaks passable english.  I handed her my slip and in exchange I received a box from Oregon.  I left the post office and immediately tore into the box.  Low and behold inside was a box of graham crackers (which I have really been craving), the Costco size package of Nestles chocolate chips and some super sized Ghirardelli chocolate chips.  What a treat!!  As soon as I find some vanilla I will make our staff some cookies.  Thanks Kevin and Kim!!

  1. Oh, that's my favorite, too: chocolate chip cookies are my downfall. What a thoughtful brother.
