Long story short: I got me a proper awesome Santa! After waiting impatiently for what seemed like months, I finally got my hands on a big cardboard box full of treats. I've been saying no to snacks for a few weeks, only to break this fasting of sugar, fat and all things enjoyable now. And boy am I having a good time now. It's quite fitting that Lent is nearly over, isn't it? Anyway, on to the contents of the box. Chicago Mix Popcorn I watch a lot of movies, both at home and at the cinema. When watching a movie I like to eat popcorn, because I'm a sensible person. Obviously, sending me popcorn is a good move on your part. It came in a tin, which is radition in Chicago, according to the letter accompanying the snacks. Funny thing is, I saw this once on an episode of 'New Girl' and at the time I didn't think much of it. Turns out the characters giving the popcorn were from Chicago. It's facts like that make both food and entertainment better. Big part of the tradition seems to be the mixing of the flavours in the tin. I'm not a fan of that, so I wasn't actually planning on removing the cardboard divider in the box. Turns out there was no divider. Ah well, the popcorn is still delicious. Maple Sugar Candies Sweet baby Mozes, these are sweet. I don't think I've ever tasted anything this sweet. And I've visited Islamic countries after Ramadan. That's how sweet they are. Honestly, I like them a lot, but I'm pretty sure these candies will last longer then any other snack in my house right now, simply because if I eat more then two I'll get a massive sugar rush/headache/diabetes. That being said, a little rush never killed anyone, so maybe a third? Yeah, they're good. Ding Dongs I've never eaten dongs before. Not to mention dongs that apparently go 'ding'. If all dongs are like these Dings Dongs, then consider me in love with them, 'nuff said. King Leo Peppermints Now this is good. I'm a big fan of mint, and it's always nice to learn of a new variety or a new brand. According to my Santa, these are pretty strong. She warns me to let them 'air out' for a week or so before eating them. I have only one response to that: please never eat mint in Holland. Honestly, these are some of the mildest, smoothest mints I've had. And I really love it. I mean, I love the intense mints we have here, but they can get too much real quick. These you can just continue to savor and the mint never gets to powerfull. Basically, if dutch peppermint is like a really good whisky, then american mint is a nice amber ale or a trappist.

All in all I'm quite happy. All hail my Santa, queen of all that is delicious.
