Question about the Gift Boxes to the Iraqi Families

[corarose]

Can they use dried Pasta? World Foods had expensive pasta on sell for a 10 cents a bag.

I bought a couple bucks worth and they have several barrels filled with it.

The normal cost of the pasta is $2.00 dollars and If I can send them some I will buy some more.

5. What About Stuff Like Parmasean Cheese?

Tabasco sauce, Lea & Perrins, Garlic Salt and stuff like that?

Fairly lightweight and it might to help a MRE to slither down the throat a little easier. Besides, little stuff like that also serves as packing material to lock in the important items sent overseas.

7. Just Asking

Sometimes the littlest things we don't think about makes the greatest difference to those in the know...because they haven't thought of them either.
