Thanksgiving is a generic date, I am sure an extra few weeks is no issue. And there are tons of NYS things.

Dear splintsy -

PLEASE SEND ME A PIZZA PIE!!! AND A GOOD BAGEL!!!! OH OH OH!!! AND A RUBEN SAMMIE!!!!! LIKE A GOOD ONE THAT'S THICKER THAN MY ARM!!!!

But no baconator plzktks.

is that marshmallow and strawberry jam covered in chocolate?

that could be epically awesome or epically gross. Is it a local neighborhood treat or is it like Hersey's?

sooo...this is like Mexico's version of reece's cups or special dark chocolate bars? cuz I could get behind that.

I'm skerred though that it might be like the Mike's chocolate covered cherry malt beverage - my poor sweet hubbie bought it because it 'sounds good' - but it was bad - so very bad.

like lays cappuccino chips bad. (which they also tried.)

Oh -and also - I've broken up with Hostess since they decided to rape my childhood. Little Debbie all the way now.

PICK MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

We.could.share hedgey.

yay!!! I love giving prezzies!!! I love getting prezzies!!

I want beer.

I will trade you beer for beer.

Or maybe beer for one of your wife's cakes.

Or maybe beer for candy....















......who am I kidding? Beer for beer.

YAY!!!

awesome!!!!! I need to go shopping yet, but I have good ideas! I'm excited to put it all together. Now to get my darling husband to take me shopping.

Me either! I love this sort of thing so much!!! It's like Diarmy but I don't have to pass it along

omg! awesome! good job newt and seabass!!

I'm *almost* done shopping and ready to ship. Just have one more stop to make....

OMG - that cake looks AMAZING!!!!! *drools*

It's all good sabie - I've felt bad I've not gotten yours out sooner too. Just need to pick up one more thing and then I'm all ready to pack and mail it!

You take your time sweets. New job is important. Not stressing is important too.

You got Buckeyes from Daisy?!?! Colour me jelly!!!! I'll bet they were sooooo nommy.

I was just thinking this year that I missed those at the holidays and might have to look up a recipe for them sometime soon....

Goosey - yes! those little chocolate covered peanut butter nummy? Totally called buckeyes because they look like buckeyes. Pretty much every person from Ohio can make them but me. I've, until now, never had much of a reason to make them as there's always been someone else who brought those to the party. I've been nostalgic off and on for them. I'm vicariously happy you loved them.

It's funny that the two deserty things from "home" I'm most nostalgic about are buckeyes and peanut butter pie. Which admitedly is prolly REALLY location centric. I think it's an Amish recepie that was adopted.

goosey - welcome to Ohio

daisy - I've learned that *most* of the best food is really pretty simple to make but time consuming. It's a lesson that can be learned for all sorts of "convinece food" - it's better if you just give it time to do it from scratch. That said, in our world, sometimes time wins sometimes taste wins.

sabie - today I picked up the last thing. Hopefully tuesday I put it all together then BDH will get it in the mail tues/wed ish.

that's it you both are excuded from everything!!! never dismiss ohio love!!!!

Sabie.- your prezzies got.mailed.today!!!

And music. TBQH - I think the Natives had it right....

I know I exist cuz "Hey Barbie, I got the new Rod Stewart album, wanna come up to my room and listen to it?"

So - my package arrived today - from the sweet blooper! <3



Country Ham, Some amazing looking mustard - yes I refrigerated it as soon as I got done taking the pictie - some organic chocolate truffles and moonshine jelly. And the cutest note ever!!

I love it all so much!! And in hindsite I'm SO laughing because I wanted to include a couple things that were for boom and blooper both. And blooper ended up having me. I've done this 3 times and it's the first time I got a prezzie back.


I gotta ask about the jelly. Is it still boozy? cuz man, my auntie lives in NC and I've had some mason jar with fruit in the bottle shine.

Irregardless, I can't wait to have all my little treatsies!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

Also - I SOOOO almost bought one of these for you guys:



But I was afraid I would have been over stepping bounds.

BUCKIES!!!! OMG that place was so much fun!!! And the hubby loved the dry rub I brought home. We only just recently used the last of it cuz he'd only use it on special steaks!

Just know it's on the future prezzie list.
