Postal Imposed Health Kick

The holidays tend to be a difficult time for us to eat healthy meals. There are piles of snacks in the kitchenettes at work, there are shiny packages of treats winking at us in the store aisles... Add this to the fact that I'm lousy at cooking without a plan and even worse at planning meals and shopping in advance and I have to admit I've eaten a bag of microwave popcorn for "dinner" on more than one evening when E'Yoak has night class.

We always have plenty of this salty temptress around due to the generosity of E'Yoak's uncle who sends us a case every Christmas. There have been years when we've found the treat inedible - sassy salsa popcorn is a waste of a tasty starch; marshmallow (comes with a goo-filled packet to add after popping) should be outlawed. However, we usually get some variation of buttery, salty goodness. This year, we received an empty cardboard box with this Post-it note attached:

No, my mailman, thank YOU for helping me lower my cholesterol this winter. Or not.
