Wow, I really hit the jackpot this year!! My SS messaged me not long after matching to tell me that she was going to send me a piece of herself in my snacks and that I could expect three packages. I mentioned in my preferences that I would love to receive my SS's favorite snacks or things I can't get where I live.

The first package I received was a six-pack of mini Tortuga rum cakes! I've been to the Caribbean and seen these rum cakes before but I'd never gotten to try them. I received six different flavors, which is neat! So far we have only tried the classic golden cake. It was sooo good and moist! I'm excited to try the rest of them. They're perfect, too, because it's just the two of us and we can't really eat a whole cake before it goes bad. These last for a year if you don't open them so we have plenty of time to eat them.

The next package I received, on the same day, was popcorn and popcorn seasonings! I love popcorn and my usual habit is to just buy whatever kernels are in the bulk section and have them with just salt or butter if I'm feeling crazy. In the box I received two unusual varieties of popcorn and three seasonings! This is awesome to try something different. I made one type of popcorn so far and had it with the cheese powder and it was SO good.

However, stovetop popcorn has been kind of hit-or-miss for me. I used to be great at it but in the last couple years I burn it a little about half the time and even when it's not burnt the texture isn't great. I'm not sure if it's our stove here or what. Now that I have all this popcorn that I really want to eat, I was thinking about buying an air popper. This would also make me more eager to make it since I wouldn't have to dirty a pot. Yesterday I looked on Amazon and added an air popper to my wishlist and today was making plans to order it while I was driving home.

BUT when I came home there was a package on my doorstep: an air popper! My SS is a genius! It's perfect, too, because I'm trying to eat a little healthier and popcorn is a great low-cal snack. And now that I can make it so easily and have all these awesome seasonings I will probably eat it every day!

I also received a message from my SS with the back story. She and her husband had their honeymoon in Jamaica and enjoyed the rum cakes and now eat them on their anniversary! And popcorn was her favorite thing as a kid that her grandpa always made them.

Thank you SO much, SS! I hope you can imagine how much joy you brought to me by sending THREE packages filled with such awesome and delicious treats. I wish I could rate this higher than 10!!
