About 10 minutes before leaving the house for our weekend trip to Fukuoka, the doorbell rang. It was the mailman with a care package from home! Huge thanks to Cascadian Pugs for finding some things we’ve been missing and adding a few surprises as well.
I managed to unpack the box just enough to throw a few train/plane snacks in the backpack before heading out the door.
Among the goodies within:
- Trader Joe’s vegan chocolate chip cookies (awesome because they’re vegan, but mostly because they taste good!)
- Stonewall’s Jerquee Original Wild
vegan jerky
- Kirkland salt and pepper pistachios
- Chocolate covered bing cherries
- Dark-chocolate covered almonds
- Dark-chocolate covered coconut
Three cheers for Pugs and some hard-to-find treats from home. Thanks again!

Hi guys, I am glad I stumbled upon your site. Having lived in Japan for nearly 20% of my life, i appreciate your experiences and stories. In fact, I lived in Shikoku, somewhat near Fukuoka, and I am from Seattle, just up the road from your home state! I’ll be following. All the best,
DH
Welcome Cascadian Derek! Glad to have you on board.

Fred Meyer hides that Jerquee really well. I sent you all the local store had on the shelf. Good to hear it was put to use right away.
Let me know when the hot weather is over, so I can send you some homemade chocolate chip cookies. Sorry, but I do use butter and eggs in them. Hope that is alright.
Thanks again! It was a welcome arrival and especially well-timed. Butter and eggs are A-OK… I think it cools down in November?
