I know. I was talking to wpi when I opened the box and I smelled the coffee first and got very excited.

Yes, t'is true - I lucked out this year! Not only did I get TWO Syndicateers for the price of one for my secret Santa recipient/s, I got a really good friend into the bargain :hugs:

Is it bad that I find the image of you sitting there staring intently at at that package under your tree so amusing? :haha:

Seriously, though - I do hope you like it, my dear friend :hugs:

I sent mine a couple days ago. The tracking info with USPS isn't so great as it just says that the package is "in transit to the destination". Haha...thanks USPS. Great job as always.

Yeah the two packages we sent are worrying me. The last thing the one says is that it departed San Antonio distribution center on12/19 and the other one says it is in the TN distribution center, but it isn't supposed to be going to TN... hope they get their shit together!

Just checked the tracking number. It's already at the appropriate distribution center. Estimated delivery date is Tuesday. That's better than I expected. *golf clap*

Well MP's goodie package is showing through tracking that it has been delivered to the front door. I hope to hear soon that his recipient has it or else I'm going to worry it got stolen. Anxious!

I'mma take a random guess... :grin:

I got a package today, just as I was about to leave and visit family! We opened it in the car. No pics now, as I am just home and it is Late with a capital T, but I got some really cool stuff from my secret Santa! Beautifully wrapped bottles of spices and hot sauces, unique tastes that I haven't tried before, and other unique snacks from the (I think, I'm very tired) Texas area!

ALSO COFFEE! My wife squeed over that. :D I'll update (with pics maybe) once I've actually tried some of the stuff, but I'm about to collapse on my keyboard. Merry Christmas to my secret Santa, and thank you so much!

Ok so the chamoy and the tajin seasoning I sent so you could make yourself mangonadas. I couldn't just send you a mangonada because they are a blended iced drink. Here is a link to the recipe. If you so desire you can make it boozy with some tequila. ;)

The michelada mix goes in a beer, for authenticity you could try to use it in a Mexican beer, but I don't think it's required. Not sure if you all are beer drinkers, but if not feel free to pass it along to someone who is. I'm not so I've never had one myself but micheladas are huge here in San Antonio. And I love mangonadas, something I had never had before I moved here, but again a big thing here. Nearly every Mexican joint or even shaved ice places will serve mangonadas.

Hope you enjoy it!

The package I sent vis the postal service reached a distribution center in the same city as the delivery address. Instead of routing it from there to its destination, it got sent to another distribution center two states away.

This is why the US postal service is failing, folks. :disappoint:

Wooooo, got my package yesterday from the lovely Spacedaisy!

Image

So many delightful Tex-Mex treats and ingredients to play with (and a free message telling me what to do with all of the bounty :biggrin: )! Of course, we traveled to my parents’ house just after I opened it, so we don’t get to play until we get back, but something to look forward to.

(Oh yeah, and I noticed after I cleaned everything off the table that I forgot to put the pecan coffee in the pic. But oh, it’s definitely there, lurking in the background.)

Well, what I got made me angry.

Yes, angry.

Angry because I was just at the grocery store and did not buy pork.

What I got needs pork.

Yes, pork.

Particularly ribs.

And pork was on sale. :fist:

But I didn't buy any.

So I can only look forward to the Ninja BBQ sauce (I see what you did there, you sly blooper).

I already consumed about a fourth of the hot sauce on my homemade nachos tonight. It was unexpectedly sweet and predictably delicious.

There's some unidentified dessert in a Ziploc bag, but I haven't sampled any, so I do not yet know if I want to live in that bag.

Then there's the matter of the horny mustard. I did not know mustard made people horny, but that's what people who didn't have the Internet believed, and now the Internet says it's true.

I'm going to slather Eloh up with the mustard and give her the old "seventh inning stretch." :nicenod:

I have determined the contents of the Ziploc bag.

It's toffee.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I am fond of a good toffee.

Therefore, I could vacation in that bag.

So it turns out I got a package today after all! It was from [mention]sig[/mention]!!

Image

The package contained: a funny card with a nice message and various Kentucky/Lexington-sourced things (Bourbon chocolate balls, Bourbon-flavored sauce, almond/caramel popcorn, and tastycake cupcakes!

It's especially awesome that these are all local KY things -- not only because it reminds me of Cinci/Northern Kentucky, but also because somehow I never had any of these brands while I was there, so it's all new to me. I already broke out the popcorn and bourbon balls and they are truly excellent. Thanks so much, sig! :D

So [mention]Glorfindel[/mention] sent me these amazing gifts! We haven't yet used the sauces, I am going to have to look into how to use them. The other item was one of the most thoughtful and unexpected gifts of all this year. Glorf has played in our Syndicate sim, The Tempest. Since he joined we have gotten to become very good friends, so he knows my love of The Next Generation. And I know he has a pretty intense dislike of Picard so the fact that he got me this lovely crystal collectible is doubly meaningful. It was a touching gift from a very thoughtful person. I was floored when I opened it. Thank you so much Glorf!

P.S. I was intrigued by the fact Australians spell chili with two L's!

@Spacedaisy: You are most welcome, my dear friend. My culinary skills are rudimentary at best so perhaps someone more highly skilled in that field (like S-V-S) may be able to advise you in the use of the sauces - I've not tried them myself but I've heard good reports about them. As for the ornament, for anyone who can't read the inscription under the image of Captain Picard, it says, "Dream big and make it so" - a play on Jean-Luc's iconic line from the Star Trek Next Generation series. I am beyond thrilled that you were happy with it, my friend and I hope that (through our friend, the indomitable Captain Picard) I may be able to inspire you just a little in those times that you may feel down or discouraged and need reminding of all the wonderful things that await you in your life.

I also really loved the card and note, it was really sweet. And you have amazing handwriting!

Now, you're just trying to make me blush (and are succeeding :p) :hugs:

Oh, and in reference to your earlier post, of course 'chilli' is spelled with two 'l's :confused2:

No problem MP, Glad you liked it.

[mention]G-Man[/mention] I loved the gifts thanks! He got me a book called Weird Pennsylvania, which so far is amazing, a cookbook, a calendar of India, which is one of the top countries I want to visit, a Taekwon-do Key chain, which is probably my favorite and a really great card with an explanation for the presents. Though I opened the presents before the card so oops. :P

I'd post pictures but my laptop is being troublesome right now so I'll have to try tomorrow.

Yay! Glad you got the goods Sig!

In case anyone is wondering, I didn't send Sig any treats because we're both from PA and all the stuff I would have thought of already has distribution across the east coast. Thankfully, Sig's time in the Interrogation Room provided me with some ideas to work with.

Merry Christmas!

Woohoo I got my package from dunya!! She sent me all kinds of cool Swedish things with sweet little explanatory notes on them here's some pics
Image
So many gift wrapped things that were exciting to open!

Image

Contents: A Christmas card that says God Jul and Gott Nytt År (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in Swedish) and a lovely note, a goofy magnet with trolls and a Swedish flag, a beanbag elf on skis that her friend handmade, a beautifully carved owl candle, various facial cosmetics including some animal-themed face masks, a pair of very pretty turquoise and black beaded bracelets, and some Swedish and Danish candy (including marzipan which I love!) Also the candy was inside this picture frame sign thing:

So I've had everything in my package.

The hot sauce is almost halfway gone. :(

The BBQ sauce was excellent- I slathered it over my grilled pork chop the other night.

The lusty mustard is probably the best mustard I've ever had. It's hotter than the damn hot sauce though. Wowzers. I'm having a sandwich with it right now. :nicenod:

Eloh ate all my toffee (so it wouldn't tempt her later). :suspish:

Ah yes - meant to warn you about that mustard, especially the honey mustard kind! It’s so stupid good, but it burns like hell. They have three flavors (honey, chipotle, and regular) that are all excellent. Glad everything has been as enjoyable for you as it is for us!!
