[Be sure and read to the end to day, folks. There's a very special announcement for you.]
O.k.-O.k.-O.k. I. am. SO. EXCITED. Today when I got the mail, guess what?!? I got a package addressed to little ol’ me! And it’s not even Christmas. Or my birthday. Or Mother’s Day.
And when I opened it guess what I got?!? Hmmm, you’re dyin’ now, aren’t ya? Hmm?!?
LOOK!!
And, who, you may be wondering, would send me tangerines and a navel orange? Well, I’m going to tell you. Todd and Diane over at White on Rice Couple sent them to me. These are a couple of super funny, mighty talented, and unbelievably friendly folks. And even if they hadn’t sent me goodies, I’d still say those nice things. Because they are true. If you don’t believe me, you should hop on over to their blog and check it out, because they send free stuff to people all the time. All you have to do is ask. They call it “Sharing the Love” and I call it groovy.
You know something else that is mind boggling cool? They GREW these! Holy Sh!t people!! I live in Michigan. Do you know what it looks like here right now? Kinda grey, kinda brown, gloppy, muddy, wet, mushy – with parking lots spotted with cement colored snow hills from months of heavy plowing. (Those snow hills will still be here in MAY!) It’s really not pretty. Nothing but mold and lichens growing here. And they sent me gorgeous home grown food. Unreal.
As I opened the package Katie walked into the dining room. “Look! Todd and Diane sent me fruit! From California! They GREW these. In their backyaaard.” She furrowed her eyebrows a little and said “They grew them? That’s weird. Are they safe to eat? I thought they were supposed to come from a temperature controlled truck.” Fricken’ smart ass. But, do you see how deprived we are here? My kids think that oranges don’t really grow on trees in backyards. They come from trucks. Sigh.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Todd and Diane. You’ve made my day, my week, my month! And, you’ve let me teach something new to my children. And I think you’ve taught me a thing or two about giving, too.
Speaking of giving, tomorrow I’ll be offering free downloads of my last cookbook; Angie Pangie Celebrates: Chinese New Year. Be sure and check in so you can get be among the first to get your first copy. If you use Twitter you can follow me here. I’ll send an update when I release the cookbook.

Oh, not sure if the first comment went through, but we’ll try to say it again…
Yeah !!!So glad they arrived to you in time! And katie is essentially correct because the box did arrive to you via plane, then truck.
Now that we have your address, we’ll be sending surprised to you when our garden explodes. Hopefully our Asian Pear and Avocado harvest is a good one this year.
Glad to know about the cookbook download! Let us know when it’s ready!
Enjoy!
I can’t wait to see your cookbook!
