Just have to share

I order from the commissary in Japan for some of our groceries that are either too expensive or unavailable here. There are no pictures and no prices and sometimes the descriptions are pretty vague. As a result we are often surprised when our order finally arrives (usually about a month after we place the order)!

For an example - the order before last we received 8 large boxes of Ritz Crackers, with 10 packages in each box! I thought I had ordered snack-size packages (like the box of multiple little potato chips). Oh well, Marcus - who takes them to school for lunch - will eat well for some time!

What I just HAD to share with you was one of my "Let's try it and see" purchases. Now let me preface - I think Altoids are alright, but I'm not in love with them, that's for sure. But this, OMGosh! I LOVE them!!! I encourage all you who have access to them to try them! Oh, I have to put them back in my purse before I eat the entire tin!! Love, love, love!!!

Now I want to try the ginger and cinnnamon, but I almost don't want to. The peppermint is soooo good, I don't want to pollute the taste. :)
