Yes, the Peanut Butter care package arrived safely in Spain. Yay! Ted King says that he might share the news with @brenbookwalter when Brent returns from racing. Ted better be sharing, because that's a whole lot of peanut butter for one bike racer to eat. Giro mountains, they are steep.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Peanut Butter Project! Looking forward to our next round of fun. Looks like we may have a new live chat on the horizon, too, so watch for more news soon on that one. Yay!

Joao Correia shouldn't be so worried
“@joaoisme Back in Chianti for a few days. Not going to eat much though or else @iamtedking is going to kill me. That dude is too skinny now. about 7 hours ago via web”
Ted’s obviously just been saving room for the peanut butter. :)
I love it.
I regret I missed out on this project and look forward to the next one. PdC Care Packages – Coming to a Pro Rider near you.
Awesome Indeed....

I packed the box :-)
I sent four jars of NY PB & Co. Then, I added some assorted candy. M&Ms are silly expensive in Europe and are a fave with Ted King, so I sent a biggie bag of those. Then, a few other non-meltables, I think some skittles, starburst, basically American candy that’s tasty and expensive in Europe. Wrapped it up in the NY Times, including a crossword puzzle for Ted King, and sent it off.
"M&Ms are silly expensive in Europe"
where did you go to buy them? They used to be a bit more expensive in Belgium and France because they had to use proper chocolate and not that non-chocolate chocolate shit that they use to bulk up the chocolate in the US (viz Hershey’s kisses, the most revolting chocolate-based foodstuff I’ve ever tasted), but the EU changed the rules and they can use much the same crap that the British have had to suffer for years.
Haven't done it recently
So, it probably would have been before the change. Ted K says they’re really expensive in Spain, still.
