Munchies!!!!!!!! From Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a long lost package today from an aunt of mine who had visited India in January this year. Dad and my Uncle and Aunt had sent me some stuff and you bet I am glad to have it. It was lost until yesterday and I was worried about it, partly because it had all the worldly jewels I ever possessed, and partly because it had some dosa mix. I didn't know about the rest of the stuff that was in and I was so surprised to see eats from the southernmost tip of India! Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Dad has special places spread all over Nagercoil and his contacts give him the best of what they have to offer...in food! He has a special connection with a bakery where they make the best plum cakes I have ever tasted so far. Forget JM Bakery from Coimbatore for its plum cakes. Its quality is so bad now that it is not even worth to pay half the price for a kilo of plum cake. (Again.. exclusive my opinion not meant to offend others - I really don't like those cakes anymore). Dad knows this particular bakery well, and when he tells them he needs cakes to take home, they make it specially for him. Same goes for a banana chips place and other goodies that are exclusive for Nagercoil. He's got a good place for cashews too.

Seeking places where they make good munchies come from the fact that his whole family likes to eat, and when it comes to sending it half-way across the globe so that his "beloved daughter" could have a taste of home, I bet the people who made it would have taken extra care. I say this because I have received it after more than a month of the cake's arrival to the States and it hasn't got a bit of fungus on it yet. Ofcourse, credit of packaging goes to my Dad and Uncle. No need for regular phone calls (not that they make them anyway), no need for emails and letters. In the depth of my heart I know both my parents always think of me and love me, and ofcourse, as long as I get stuff like this often, I will live happily ever after!
