$46

In February when Shanna came to visit she brought me all kinds of goodies. Pretty much every day I would send her an email listing things that she could bring and somehow she managed to bring it all and then some. One of the surprises she threw in was some Kraft cheddar cheese. Up to that point I was buying cheese in Kenya and bringing it in with me. It was good enough, I mean, cheese is cheese, right? Then Shanna brought the real cheese and it was sooo good. When I finished that I went back to my Kenyan stash and it wasn't good at all. I had really been content with the Kenyan substitute until I had the good stuff and then the substitute just couldn't quite cut it.

About 2 weeks ago a friend of a friend came to K-town and wanted to know if he could bring me anything. Of course at the top of the list was some cheddar cheese. Little known fact, cheese can go without being refrigerated. It might taste a little different, but 24 hours in a suitcase is no problem.

Friday I was at the grocery store and I saw some of the exact same cheese that he brought me...only it was $23. Yes, that's right. $23 for a small block of cheese. So thanks so much to the H's who set me up with D who brought me $46 of cheese in his suitcase!!!
