Foodie PenPal for May

Had a wonderful foodie package sent to me by Kelly S from DC......I mentioned that I didn't have a Trader Joes close by so she shopped for me there. (I did find one a little over an hour away....but not near close enough to go every week like I want to, I simply love there stuff)  Kelly sent

me some items that were new to me....the Kale Chips are something that I have

never tried, and to be honest, I was a bit hesitant....but those things

are WONDERFUL!!!  Something that I shall purchase in the future.

(If you notice in below post....I purchased some more when I FINALLY was able to

get to a Trader Joes-after I had sampled them from my foodie box)

As for the mango.....well, I shared, but I had to hide it.....

I have Never have used chia seeds but am excited to give it a try...have put on salads...

and plan to try chia pudding.  (So any other suggestions would be great.....want to learn all that

I can)  Then a luna bar and fruit strip to stash in my desk for ......well, you know. 

 I gotta say that this Foodie PenPal deal is pretty fun...my mother has

done several months as well, but she had ended up with a dud and is

giving it a rest....you do take a chance with the person you are paired with, but I have ended up with some MARVELOUS foodpals!!!  (just making that little note, so those of you who are considering to participate have the full "view" of the foodie thing)

 I find myself waiting anxiously for my goodies to arrive, and wondering

what wonderful new items I will get a chance to try.

In the same turn, I really enjoy sending out goodies to others around the country, sending them a taste of my Penn. Dutch area!!

 

 

Thanks so much Kelly!!!! I LOVED my box!!!! It was wonderfully to get to "Virtually" meet you and learn about your interesting job, best of luck.

I sent my package to Johanne....., sent her a box

of German/Amish/Mennonite goodies.....she was another one that I really enjoyed getting to

know virtually....hope all goes well with your schooling and you accomplish much.

 If you wanna see the package I sent Johanne posted here
