Blogging By Mail

Cathy at My Little Kitchen arranged a pen pal type swap for food lovers and bloggers. I sent a package to Mare, and Katherine at ToastPoint sent a package to me! It arrived just before I left to visit family for Thanksgiving. I opened it right away of course, but I didn't get a chance to update Not As Good As Pork Cracklins.

It was so fun to tear into the box and see what might be in it. Katherine wrote a lovely note in a book for me to keep recipes and clippings in. She explained a special project that I can't wait to try at Christmas!

She shared her mother's family recipe for Onion Relish, made with paprika and included a lovely jar of it to eat with roasted chicken or bbq. There is a huge box of homemade fudge (yum!), some dried chiles, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. I can't wait to taste the almonds in rosemary honey; that just sounds delicious. I also got the food sections from the Washington Post and New York Times.

Thank you, Katherine!
