Blogging By Mail (Sweets from Trinidad) - Part 1
Filed Under thoughts | Posted on December 23, 2006
OOOO! My Blogging By Mail assignee received her package today 
I was worried that she would not get it before Xmas day so that’s a big smile on my face 
Typical! Even Trini packages have to wait til the last possible moment to arrive :D
a Rum n Raisin chocolate bar (pictured above)
a Coco Crisp chocolate bar
a Chocolate Digestive
and a CD mix of traditional parang, parang soca, reggae hanukkah music and klezmer takes on traditional xmas carols
I’m so glad that she liked them!! You can read her write-up here and she did that cool thing with the Flickr photo where she made notes on each item. How cool is that ? I love sharing my country’s offerings (as you can probably tell) and it’s so funny seeing my items in an unknown home in an unknown part of the world (to me)
I love making foodie blogger friends
Hmmm…. I’m still waiting on -my- Blogging by Mail package tho :*( Oh well… the update page says the package has shipped
Oh! BTW.. I’m working on a program to share and thank everyone who takes the time to comment/subscribe/join my MyBlogLog community More on that in ‘07!
Also! Next week my goal is to highlight cocktails, appetizers, and snacks that are perfect for the best New Year’s Eve party! (or as we call it in Trinidad, Old Year’s Night!) Be on the lookout!

I really did love it. The Khurma is almost gone; I’ve tried to pace myself. I tried a little of the rum & raisin bar and it’s wonderful — very rum-my. I haven’t decided what I’ll be having for dessert tonight. I think it may be the digestive. I really am a fan of those. I may bake something tonight and I’ll be listening to the CD, that’s for sure. I can’t wait to listen to it. Reggae Hanukkah!
I did the same with my BBM package. I picked everything I could that was not just American (like cranberry candy) but Pennsylvanian (Hershey’s candy bars and Tastycakes).
Here’s hoping your package arrives soon…
