Care Package
A couple of weeks ago, Marilyn sent me a care package of homemade popcorn balls and Hot Tamales. I've written about Marilyn's popcorn balls before, and if you like a soft popcorn ball, check out the recipe in this earlier post.
Hot Tamales are a pandemic feast or famine product: before Marilyn sent the package, it was impossible in this area to find even a small box of the sugary treat. I've since found them in the dollar store and also in Ridley's, a local grocery store.
Marilyn's package came at the perfect time, and I enjoyed every bite.
Isn't it funny how some things are still hard to get? Here it is hominy. I couldn't get a can of that nasty, gluey stuff for anything. The Mister asks me for it every week and it still is rarely showing up in the delivery.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, nothing like feeding the inner urges!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect care package - snacks! Marilyn obviously knows what you like. It's strange what items have been scarce.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!!! Nice treats and a great care package.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea of that shortage but here it is cleaning supplies.
ReplyDeleteOh that's wonderful. It is always fun to eat a favorite candy that's been out of stock for you, for awhile! I'm glad she sent them to you
ReplyDeleteNice care package from your sister! I hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great recipe. I will leave the cooking to the pros and stick to crafting. :) When I was in college in Laramie, my mom and dad would send big boxes of popcorn balls - all different colors and flavors. The wonderful aroma of the package would permeate the dorm. Everyone wanted to know what was in the package.
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting to get a package in the mail, especially a couple of treats, just for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great package! I love popcorn balls. Hot Tamales...not so much. I had crayons in my grocery order today at Walmart and was told they were out of stock! Crayons at Walmart! How does that even happen? I needed them for the art lessons Piper is giving me online. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

what a fun care package! almost like you are back in college haha
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteI'd be all over those Hot Tamales. (Probably the popcorn ball too. LOL)
What a treat!
ReplyDeleteI love popcorn balls but, unfortunately, can't eat anything popcorn due to diverticulitis. :-( But I can eat hot tamales which I also love. I haven't had any issues finding them..that's strange.
ReplyDeleteI have not had a homemade popcorn ball since I was a young girl...YUM!
