Silicon Cookware Saved My Life!

Let me start off this story with a preface on the postal system here. The more you know about it the more remarkable and realistic the title of this blog becomes.

The postal system here is…..corrupt and terribly insufficient. They don’t have physical addresses here. If you want mail, you get a P.O. Box. With that it guarantees the Post Office has control. They process goes like this: If you get something that is to big for you box, then you have to go down to the main post office to retrieve it. You go upstairs to a guy that takes you slip and gives you another slip. You then go to a guy who looks at your new slip of paper and then sends you back to the “box room” where you give your slip to a guy who gets your box. Then you go back to the same guy who sent you into the “box room” and he sends you to a long line. Here the guy opens your box and looks in it. Usually you are charged a “custom’s tax.” I don’t know how legit this is, but you may end up paying up the 30 US dollars to get a package out of the post office, if they let you take everything with you. Most people stop by the ATM before going to the post office. Get the picture?

So, today we got that slip that says that we had to go to the post office and get shuffled around. I was a bit hesitant but everything ran really smooth. We finally got to the guy and he opened up the box and what did he find? Silicon cookware! Its floppy and folds up and is ideal for travel. Does it work? Of course! Does he know what it is? Nope!

You should have seen his face when he pulled out a floppy muffin tin and a floppy cookie sheet. He just looked at me like, “what is this stuff?” I told him that it was the oven. He held it up and yelled out the all his buddies, “Hey, look at this! This is for your oven!” They loved it. Then he let us go. For free! With all of it. I don’t whether he just thought it was stupid and wouldn’t work or that it was so cool that he let us have it, but whatever the reason…..

Silicon cookware saved my life!
