Thanks for the Packages!
Last week I received two packages from the States containing such wonderful treats as Oreos, peanut butter, cheese whiz (I'm wondering how I can make cheesesteaks with it), various chocolates and candies, towels, a people magazine, peeps, pictures, tea, and so on.
I live for such small treasures. So thank you Mom and Leah!
I occasionally get requests in regards to what folks should send. The answers vary according to moods, but these are always to please:
-cake mixes, cookie mixes, brownie mixes
-pudding mixes
-taco mixes
-fajita mixes
-so, essentially, anything spicy or tasty in a mix form. If they have salsa or dips in a packet form, send it.
-magazines are always good and can pass them along. Just know that as volunteers we get Newsweek International.
-photos. People love 'em.
-dvd copies of American TV shows.
-books. About just about anything. Favorite piece of fiction? Some junior classics? I can make excellent use of them.
I will warn that packages sent to Kyiv are notoriously lighter or nonexistant by the time they reach the volunteers. And supposedly a package to N-- has gone missing, but otherwise all are accounted for.
Again, letters and postcards are also welcome and I have a good track record for writing everyone back, even if it takes a while (Leah, your letter is on its way).

Got it and it is.
I'm scared that Eoin is laughing.
And I found salad. Add salad dressing (plastic bottles) to the mix. But please no ranch or blue cheese.
Or Russian. If I wanted ketchup and mayo I could do it myself.
What was that last comment? Someone threatenng you because you dont like the foul substance known as "ranch dressing"?
Im laughing cs I know what is in the package I just sent you. I must be psychic or something.

No, I double posted. Crap. I hate ranch, Eoin.
We always ask for taco mix, too. And chocolate chips. It's such a pain to make cookies by breaking candy bars into little pieces with your fingers.
