I sent off my package of goodies yesterday--I hope it gets there safe. I had a really good time picking stuff out, although never did find one of the things I hoped to include.
I'll put more info on what I sent later, once it arrives to Gumbeaux in the Kitchen. :)
I went out last night to do a little shopping for the Taste Like Home food swap that I'm participating in. I'm pretty excited about what I'm getting together...I've gotten good ideas from friends and co-workers that have helped a lot.
I'm not sharing the info here yet (it needs to be a surprise!) but I may share after the package is sent.
Oh, and if you're going to take the North Avenue bus anywhere, make sure you're ready to wait at least 20 minutes for it. It's SLOW.
In other news, I got another slurpee last night. It was awesome.
Thanks for the great ideas! I KNEW there was stuff out there that I was blindly missing. I guess I sit at home and eat Cheerios too often instead of going out in my wonderful city to try the local fare.
I've sent my info in and can't wait to see what's to come! You all should join in too--it'll be pretty fun. Check out the info on Megan and April's blogs.
I'll be posting how it goes in the next few weeks and keep you all updated. :)
There are an number of chocolate goodies, stuffed olives, pistachios, and some green tea mints.
Awesome. Oh, and those chocolate-covered toffee bites didn't last long at all.
The package that I sent off has arrived safely...here's a glimpse of it pre-shipping:
Once my blog-buddy updates with the info, I'll link to it. otherwise, I'll update this later with the specifics of what's in my Chicago box.
