Earlier this past week, I came home after a particularly difficult workday. Much to my surprise, was a parcel at my door stoop. The origin was Mexico. I’ve but one friend there, and my spirits were lifted immediately un caballero muy amable del sur de Mexico!
The cache’ ……
Some home made pickled vegetables, they are wonderful. I tried them already, just enough heat….. went well with the steak dinner I had it with…
Some pepper jelly. I am told it is made with 2/3 Star fruit and 1/3 Rocoto peppers. A unique delight that certainly I’ve never had before. I look forward to this one, looks incredible!
A nice coffee mug with Mayan motif. It is now my favorite and will see years of use. So cool!
A jar of Don Emilio Morita pepper sauce. It says “hot” and I’ve no doubt that it is…gotta figure out the best use for this one. Looks tasty but a little scary as well.
Some local coconut candy, again, something I have never tried before but will enjoy giving it a try.
And the icing on the cake – a nice t-shirt to commemorate Día de los Muertos! I started a little early.
It is difficult to assign proper words of appreciation to such kindness. I am blessed yet again by the selfless and sharing people of pepper. PPATB! We are in fact - worldwide! Thank you Ahayastani
Edit: failed to mention one other item, some prose, eloquently written in beautiful penmanship. This item I chose to hold in confidence.
2nd edit: I cannot overlook the mailing date of the parcel and not employ Occam's razor. Connecticut US, Australia, Southern Mexico - all within days of each other....hmmm. I do believe I've been "punked." (In the best way
)
. For what it's worth, this was indeed another coincidence receiving a package from Mike and I only days apart. I guess great minds........ah.......I forget the rest
It is a very versatile salsa (IMO). Now that you "know" the taste, you'll find a world of possibilities revealing itself
