The muffin mix was everywhere, can you tell, thats it on the bottom. It was a spectacle at the post office as they shook white powder out of the box, while I was assuring them it was a cake mix. At that point I did not know that a rat was the culprit so I was trying to get them to stop shaking it all out so I could salvage it, then they assured me I would not want to eat it!

Here, we call 'stuff' dongxi (dongshee), it is such a good word that we have replaced it for the english.
Also in the packages were some incredibly sweet cards from granddaddy Johnson, and Grandma Pinnie (Sophia's great-grandmother). Thank you so much!!!

can you tell she loved this card! Thanks Granddaddy!

As a side note, David and I love Indian food, we both have spent time in India and our first discussion ever was all about India. A month ago I found these two boxes of Indian food, they just happen to be our two favorite dishes, Dal makhani and Palak Paneer. I found these at the import store, no they were not cheap but they were worth it. We waited for the perfect time to eat them--Right on the down hill stretch of our language review sprint (we have just a few days left). It was delicious. We were commenting how glad we were we didn't live in India or we would be so fat!
