Quick Post #1

So I will keep these short and to the point. Viv wants to blog about our past weekend and these posts have nothing to do with the weekend. Check them out and stay tuned for Viv's post-weekend post. This one's really for Lisa and PC.

The other day we decided to thin out our kitchen cabinets after returning from grocery shopping. In the process, I came across a box of Taco Rice. For those of you who do not know, Taco Rice is huge in Okinawa, and yes, this is the box of Taco Rice sent to us from Okinawa some months ago by Lisa and PC. At first glance, this doesn't seem like a big deal. Especially since most boxed rice-type meals have a respectable shelf life. Shortly after receiving this stuff from Lisa and PC, however, we got a frantic email from them stating that there was actually meat in this box! Despite the manufacturer's guarantee that said meat was OK to sit, unrefrigerated, on a shelf, they begged us to throw it away. We are finally heeding their warning.
