I’m excited because I got several packages this week.
The packages from my mom included a new flash drive, some books (including Adventure Motorcycle Touring), a couple Frisbees, yo-yos, some games, and a bunch of magazines.
The package from my grandfather was primarily food stuff. I got a great big Sam’s Club size container of hot chocolate mix, a big thing of Country Time lemonade (which split open and spread its powder all over the box), brownie mix, strawberry jelly in squeeze tubes, and a giant container of peanut butter.
The last item on that list poses a huge dilemma. Peter Pan peanut butter just announced a big recall. 300 people have become ill after eating salmonella tainted peanut butter. I’m supposed to through it away but that has proven difficult. Consider the following
- 300 people got sick out of the probably hundreds of thousands that ate it.
- No one died and only 20% had to go to the hospital.
- I haven’t had food poisoning since I’ve been here and I’ve eaten some interesting stuff. What better way to get it than to eat food coming from safe America
- I must consider the subject of my post last week in deciding to eat it.
- It is rather cold outside.
The consensus around the volunteers at the office this weekend is that I should either A) just eat it or B) feed it to my host family first, or C) give it to them.
Laptop Update: I found a volunteer with a similar model. She is going to let me swap cards next weekend to verify that the problem is the video card. For now I’m using a “spare” laptop my organization has. The only problem is that it is the Russian version of Windows and the CRTL and FN keys are backwards (geek friends can feel the pain.) I can’t seem to highlight text without turning my music off.

not all of it is bad
this is what the FDA says
The affected jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter have a product code located on the lid of the jar that begins with the number “2111.”

Oh sure…give the possibly tainted peanut butter to your host family…good idea

as a person currently suffering stomach flu, I vote that you just throw it away. it’s not worth it.

Hey Ryan!
I vote for eating the peanut butter. Live life!
We all miss you here at City Life!!!

Ryan, I hate to state the obvious - but this needs an updating before it is a year old!

RYANNN!! Read what #10 said…this is one of the few times in life i will agree with previous poster!

Hey Ry Ry-
It’s great reading about your life. my dad just got a new to him Gold Wing. It’s the 40th Anniversary model. Is there any sweet bikes over there?

It’s been a while since Ryan has updated his blog. I’ll do this and he’ll buy me the beers next time he is in Chisinau, I hope (I wish)
Spoke to him yesterday at a sweet chery party in Valcinet, so I guess his stomach has survived the peanut butter. Haven’t seen any of his host family members around the house though…
Oh and he’s got a new laptop. Best fix for the video card problem
