My mom recently came back from Taiwan and sent me a care package filled with Taiwanese goodies. I open the package and peanuts come spilling out everywhere. Apparently, these “Authentic Taiwanese” peanuts were originally in a bag, which wouldn’t fit in the USPS “Flat Rate” box. So to make the most out of her money, she poured the peanuts out of the bag, into the box and let them fill every nook and crevice of the box!

(It literally brings a new meaning to “packing peanuts!”)

Editor’s Note: OMG, pineapple cakes — your mom spoils you!

My mom was on the phone with me, and I told her that I was at a pretty well known Italian chain restaurant in our area, Buca Di Beppo’s. When I went home, my sister said my mom told her:

“Your sister went to Peptodibismo!”

dont-touch-oranges

I look into the refrigerator and see a big brown paper bag and ask my mom what’s in it.
Me: What’s in the bag?
Mom: Oranges for Chinese New Year. Did I spell ‘touch’ right? T-O-U-C-H right?
Me: Yeah you spelled ‘touch’ right but you spelled oranges wrong…
Mom: (pronouncing oranges with a chinese accent) Or-an-gee. What’s the right spelling then?
Me: You spelled Oregon. That’s a place!
Mom: OH, HAHAHA. Fix it before your siblings eat all the oranges!!

Hi Elizabeth,

How are you doing? How is your paper coming along? I miss you~~~~. How are you surviving the below freezing weather in Boston? It’s so cold here, too, with the temperature hovering around 38 F~. I am very sleepy at work, staring at & trying to read these boring scientific progress reports—. Only thing I can do is eat MORE chocolates. I have Christmas colored peanut M&Ms, mini 3 Musketeers mint dark chocolate, mini Twix bars & Dove mint silky milk chocolate squares~~~. I also had those mint M&M, but I ate them all-gobbled them down-chomp, chomp!.
I hope you are not following my example and be good, eating healthy snacks. :) ;)
Love you & miss you.

Love,
Mom
