Saturday

I was excited about the new packaging by my usual brand of coconut milk. But when I put it in yesterday's morning's tea, it looked a little thin. I thought maybe I'd just made the tea stronger than usual. When I made my Evening Comfort Drink though (a bit of honey, vanilla extract, hot water, and enough coconut milk to make it milky), I was like "oh, no, this is way thinner." I looked at the nutritional information, and y'all. The new package is nearly twice the volume and has three servings as opposed to five servings in the can. And the can's servings are more calories. Sure, the new packaging label proclaims "2 simple ingredients, water + coconut" but I looked at the official nutritional information, and indeed, water is the first ingredient.

I understand the packaging is probably more expensive, but just charge more? Also, this stuff would be much to thin to cook with, and people (both current and possible new customers) are going to be disappointed if they ruin dinner with this stuff.

Ugh, capitalism.

I'm packing the rest of my stuff from McKitterick's today. Of course last night was one of those nights  I woke at 2am and never fell back asleep so this is gonna be great! I'm so tired I'm dizzy and very glad I have a local friend helping me. See y'all when I'm back home. *salutes*
