We'll visit your popcorn store soon. But be sure to be at Joyce's party and my Thea's first birthday. :-) I can't wait to get hold of some of your tins, they look soooo yummy!

"Carmel?" Discounting the affectations of the furiously marketing founders, not worth the price. Cheese? Okay, granted, different, possibly better. But it's sparse. I want Cheetos-style outrageously cheesy. No, that's not right, as long as I''m wishing, I want 1970's (not the crap that came later) Carol-Ann's Cheese Potato Chips-style really-truly-madly cheesy. Fresh? I should have realized the truth the moment I saw the 2-foot storage bins. I went on a Wednesday afternoon, maybe the quality will be better on a weekend. Guess you'll have to find out for your self. Mina, I live in Pasay, I could walk to MOA.
