Online friend Jess and I somehow came up with the idea of doing a regional food exchange. I sent her a box full of Louisiana food mixes, hot sauces, rice, cornbread mix, etc. Yesterday, I got my box of food from NYC!
Opening my box of goodies… It was so exciting!
Look at all these gorgeous bagels!
I’ve, of course, heard of matzo balls, but I’ve never quite been sure what they are… I have some instruction-reading and Googling ahead of me, I’m guessing. ;)
Espresso coffee soda? This should be interesting. :)
I was ridiculously excited about seeing this mustard!
How fun was this?!?! Thanks, Jess!



Such a fun Idea!!! And you got some great products :-)
I did! I’m super excited about all my stuff!
That is such a great idea! What did you send Jess?
I sent her gumbo mix, jambalaya mix, shrimp creole mix, dirty rice mix, locally-made cornbread mix, popcorn rice, Crystal hot sauce, creole mustard…
That may have been it. I don’t remember exactly.
But good stuff. :)
OHHHH…I wanna do this!! Sounds like so much fun!
That is such a great idea! There is a LJ community similar, but I’ve been hesitant to do it. You’re not a stranger though! :) Want any CT or Cape Cod food? :)
