my first Christmas present

I received my first Christmas present today.  It was delivered by UPS and let me tell you those Omaha Steak people know what they're doing when it comes to packing perishables.  This gift was not without a little drama.  I was out at a church event until 9pm yesterday and didn't get to pick up my mail until then.  The first thing I noticed was a sticky note hanging on my mail box informing me that a perishable item was being held for me in the office.  Well the office was closed by then, of course, so I went to my apartment, checked my email and discovered two more messages, one from the steak company, one from an office manager informing me that I had a perishable item in the office.  I decided that it wasn't enough of an emergency to call out a maintenance man so I waited.  First thing this morning I retrieved my package (a thick styrofoam cooler with fitted lid) opened it with some trepidation, and discovered, to my relief that the four delicious looking little cheesecakes contained inside were still frozen solid, nesting on a bed of dry ice.  I quickly tucked them in the freezer but I doubt that they will survive until Christmas. Yummm!!!
