Creamy Spicy Pepper Jack

Send by Phillip (the USA). I am glad to add a new flavour to the list!

On the back, a funny letter written in round:

In the same envelope, and interesting folded card celebrating the Year of the Ox (2009):

And still more...

Less light

From Keith (the USA)

Again I cannot understand:

a) The subtle differences between light and less fat (yes, 10 calories, but...). So is there a light cheese less light?

b) Why they add mozzarella to cheese wedges? Is not mozarella a cheese itself?!?

The sender included some labels:

Queso fresco & chipotle

Sent by Raphael'L (the USA)

I have received one of these new flavours! I wonder why they don't sell it here, what a pity.

What is my secret?

These bilingual cards were inside Canadian VQR boxes. I feel disappointed when I realised they contained just recipes, and not the VQR secret announced (if there is one VQR secret...).

The clerk who handled the cowmail, Phyllis' friend, was somewhat sceptical that the box would get through the customs. She even had to fill a custom declaration form - happily I could unstick it. But finally the box arrived safe and sound, after two weeks.

Sending the whole box could be too expensive. Of course it is ok to cut the front of the box and make a round postcard.

Anyway, I am very happy when I receive the boxes naked like this one. And, mmm... I am not worried at all about the post office workers thinking I am somewhat crazy...

Value pack

Sent by Jackie (the USA)

I smiled when I read "new size", because it is quite common here. And also because normal boxes of 8 wedges weight 171g in the USA (170g in other countries. Curious). So this pack should weight 342g, and not just 340g. Who eat 2g from every box?
