I think that is a special power no one has!

And tbh, I was so thrilled to get a package from across the world, I didn't think I could be happier until I opened it.

Thanks again! I really have not stopped smiling since I got home.

So many awesome gifts have been given and I have another to share. I got my first pieces of mail in my OWN home and it happened to be a package from Boomslang (and a Christmas card from a dear friend -his girlfriend). Below is a picture of what I received :D Local tea and honey I cannot wait to try with the description written adorably on a recipe card. :), I love it!

Even after arriving back to Asheville from Kentucky, Christmas wasn't over—I received a lovely Arizona gift box from bea!

Image

Got a number of tasty local chocolates, a creepy cool scorpion magnet, and a whimsical ornament of the Native American fertility and trickster god Kokopelli (which is now displayed proudly on my tree). And coffee, because coffee is always a good decision. Thanks so much!

This entire event has turned out far more amazingly well than I thought it would. It seems Syndicateers are exceptionally keen and thoughtful gift buyers :nicenod:

Guuuys I got a really really awesome package from Sorsha!! :D

Unfortunately one of the glass beverages broke, but everything was sealed so nothing else was ruined thankfully (and I like cherry a lot more than orange soda anyway!! :p ) So there's hard cherry cola, two huge delicious looking kringles, a box of assorted chocolates, caramel corn, and rosemary salt and pepper pecans. They all look delicious! Thanks so much Sorsha :clap:

Spacedaisy made a boatload of delicious cookies, and two thirds of them were gone as of this past weekend. Additionally she sent some preserves, including Blueberry Jalapeño and Strawberry Tequila. I've never had such a spread before, but I love trying new things, so I'm really looking forward to trying them. :D Thanks Spacedaisy for the gift and for getting the ball rolling on this!!

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to try the preserves with?

The blueberry jalapeño might be good spooned over some cream cheese and then spread on crackers that are plain (water crackers is what I have in mind). This is how I've eaten other jalapeño jellies.

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

Image

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. :cloud9: I've done this 3 times and it's the first time I got a prezzie back. :cloud9:


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!!!!! :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Meant to post this ages ago, but am just now getting to post after all of the holiday traveling (and am actually still in the midst of travels :p )

I was lucky enough to receive my present in person from MovingPictures, as we were both visiting Cincinnati at the same time :biggrin:

Image

Freaking amazing cookie dough balls and mint chocolate cookies (the picture was taken before half of them were eaten), and some excellent jams that we're very excited to try. Yay, presents and visits!

Apparently it's got a boozy aspect to it. I've actually never had it, but have seen it so many times at the farmer's market and have wondered, and figured it was perfect for you :p I hope it's tasty!

That thing is really pretty but now I want to know what it's meaning is, lol. So bea or Blooper, clue me in?

Oh and I don't know if Alex told you (MM and Blooper) but the one jelly is the Buccee's brand. Buccee's is this weird Texas thing, it's a gas station on steroids. They sell all kinds of stuff, including specialty foods and candies and so forth. They have very clean, nice restrooms and a TON of gas pumps. And for some reason everyone here LOVES Buccee's. Just as Lorab. It was weird to me, I mean they buy Buccee's T-shirts and walk around in them and stuff, it's bizarre. But, we thought it would be fun to get some specialty stuff from there for a nice Texas/San Antonio touch. So the jellies are purchased there, one is their brand the other is another local brand. :)

And I'm really glad you guys enjoyed my cookie dough balls and mint chocolate cookies. :) I enjoyed making them for you all!

I'll be honest - I didn't think I could get too excited about getting overseas - until I got a package from the Post Office last Friday... from JERUSALEM!!! It didn't take me long to work out who my Syndicate Secret Santa was... :D I raced home excitedly and was thrilled to find that I was correct in my assumption - my SSS was Elisa (LoRab). I was very happy to find that my gift was like a 'care package' of delectable and exotic middle-eastern treats :p

Image

From the top, clockwise:

Rugelach: Delectable pastries of dough wrapped around chocolate - there were more than appear in the photo of course but unfortunately, they consumed before the photo above was taken :D I'm reliably informed these come from a special bakery in Jerusalem who make the best Rugelach in the world :nicenod:

Bisli: Israeli chippie snack in BBQ flavour

Israeli chocolate bars: with popping candy

Halvah: which is a dessert made from sesame paste and this one has added chocolate flavour

Bamba: Israeli snack food (peanut butter flavoured puffs)

Elisa, obviously you didn't go all the way to Jerusalem just for my gift, but I sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending me your gift from there. I think it is a very kind and wonderful thing to have done. Thank you so much :bighug:

It didn't take me long to work out who my Syndicate Secret Santa was... :D I raced home excitedly and was thrilled to find that I was correct in my assumption - my SSS was Elisa (LoRab). I was very happy to find that my gift was like a 'care package' of delectable and exotic middle-eastern treats :p

Image

From the top, clockwise:

Rugelach: Delectable pastries of dough wrapped around chocolate - there were more than appear in the photo of course but unfortunately, they consumed before the photo above was taken :D I'm reliably informed these come from a special bakery in Jerusalem who make the best Rugelach in the world :nicenod:

Bisli: Israeli chippie snack in BBQ flavour

Israeli chocolate bars: with popping candy

Halvah: which is a dessert made from sesame paste and this one has added chocolate flavour

Bamba: Israeli snack food (peanut butter flavoured puffs)

Elisa, obviously you didn't go all the way to Jerusalem just for my gift, but I sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending me your gift from there. I think it is a very kind and wonderful thing to have done. Thank you so much :bighug:
I'm so glad you enjoyed the package! And that it arrived!!!! Because I'm fairly certain that I could not figure out how to track a package in Hebrew. My Hebrew is good, but not that good. And Israel is just so much more interesting than Delaware. Enjoy all the yummies!!
Spacedaisy wrote:That thing is really pretty but now I want to know what it's meaning is, lol. So bea or Blooper, clue me in?

Oh and I don't know if Alex told you (MM and Blooper) but the one jelly is the Buccee's brand. Buccee's is this weird Texas thing, it's a gas station on steroids. They sell all kinds of stuff, including specialty foods and candies and so forth. They have very clean, nice restrooms and a TON of gas pumps. And for some reason everyone here LOVES Buccee's. Just as Lorab. It was weird to me, I mean they buy Buccee's T-shirts and walk around in them and stuff, it's bizarre. But, we thought it would be fun to get some specialty stuff from there for a nice Texas/San Antonio touch. So the jellies are purchased there, one is their brand the other is another local brand. :)

And I'm really glad you guys enjoyed my cookie dough balls and mint chocolate cookies. :) I enjoyed making them for you all!
OMG I miss Buccees. I would literally take my friends there when they would come visit me in San Antonio as an important thing to see. There is nothing like it in the world and it sort of defies description.

Spacedaisy made a boatload of delicious cookies, and two thirds of them were gone as of this past weekend. Additionally she sent some preserves, including Blueberry Jalapeño and Strawberry Tequila. I've never had such a spread before, but I love trying new things, so I'm really looking forward to trying them. :D Thanks Spacedaisy for the gift and for getting the ball rolling on this!!

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to try the preserves with?
I have the blueberry jalapeno!! It is really good in baked brie.

Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest an international Syndicate Easter Egg Hunt? :D

You have no idea. Literally melt in your mouth. I have tasted nothing like it anywhere else in the world other than this one bakery in Jerusalem.

So I received an unexpected package earlier this week!!
Image

I cannot express how grateful I am to Epi for sending me the Christmas-in-June package full of awesome gifts that he really didn't have to go through the trouble to get and spend the money on. The caramels and chocolates are amazing! And I haven't gotten the chance to watch the Rush DVD or use anything else yet, but I absolutely cannot wait to get the opportunity. Thanks so much, bud. You really made my week. :D

Well, Epi - it's the first of October tomorrow so perhaps we should all start getting ready for the 2017 Holiday Goodie Exchange shortly :ponder:

Please don’t think me a pain but by my calculation, there are only six full weeks between now and Christmas. Besides me, is anyone else up for this grand event?
