I'm sure it's going to show. But I will be bummed if something happened to it. I've wanted to send you that package for 6 months now. 

Onto other news. I found these kewl 1 pint sized Food Saver bags. I have 8 x 1 cup portions, 4 x 1/2 cup portions, my grinder full and some extra to make pepper salt. Felt like a drug dealer, measuring out and bagging up Purple Crack Berries - LOL

I did likewise. I was using these FoodSaver bags. Put up mostly 4oz (Dime) bags, but a few 2 oz (Nickel) bags, too. Filled the grinder, then used what was left to make the Purple Crack pepper salt. 

FoodSaver® 11" x 16' Portion Pouch Vacuum-Seal Roll, 2 Pack

I like these bags for putting up spices, rubs, etc. because it's a roll and you can make them as big (or small) as you need.

I usually use the rolls and have a lifetime supply stashed in my closet. (got the 11" pleated rolls for around $2 per roll. I bought a few boxes - LOL) Was being lazy so I bought the pint baggies. Perfect size.

I checked out the canisters but they wanted a fair amount of coin for a set so I went the bag route.

Yeah, Charles. My package to Aussie only took 8 calendar days from the day I dropped it off at the Post Office here in Iowa until it was delivered to him. Only 2 days from Chicago to Perth, via Tokyo. Then another 3 days to be delivered locally.

OK, I might have finally OD'ed on Purple Crack tonight! 

The Purple Crack mashed potatoes were fine. Sous vide russets in duck fat with Purple Crack and powdered roasted garlic, then mashed with sour cream and half-n-half, with white truffle oil and black garlic. But, that wasn't what sent me into overdose - it was the Purple Crack vinaigrette salad dressing! Standard vinaigrette of EVOO and White Balsamic vinegar with the lemon myrtle/Taz peppercorn blend, Purple Crack, and an extra grind of straight Taz peppercorns from the grinder on top of the tomato wedges. I think it was the last hit that did it. My tongue is still tingling 20 minutes later!

If you don't hear from me over the next couple of days, it's because I've checked myself into rehab!

Take a selfie of your tongue. I want to see the purple crack Berry tongue like I had as a kid with grape cool-aide.

We have to give it a little more time. I think the official stance is 30 days before you can make a claim. 

It's not looking good and I'm more bummed by the day.

If this really ended up in the Bermuda Triangle I will eventually resend it. The rubs and extras I threw in there I couldn't care less about but the ingredients to make 2 special salad dressings I really wanted you and Dee to try. Those were the hardest most expensive part of the box but that was really what the box was about. 

We'll see what happens and I'll eventually reorder the ingredients from FL.
