Foodie Pen Pal

I am not sure how I forgot, but I did.  I totally forgot to write my post about my foodie pen pal.  I think it's because the post was for Friday and since I don't ride the bus on Fridays, I usually don't write a blog post.  I should have written the post in advance, but I never got around to it.  So, my foodie post is late.  However, I am going to post about it anyway.

I came across Foodie Pen Pals on The Lean Green Bean last month and thought it sounded so fun.  The deal is, you get assigned a pen pal and then you send them a box of fun food items - from your town, your favorite items, fun stuff you saw at the store, handmade goodies, etc.  Then someone picks your name and you get a fun box too.  I was so excited to participate! I love pen pals and I love food!

My penpal was Terri (she doesn't have a blog, so I can't link to her), and she's a professional chef.  She sent me such a fun box.

Look at all the yummies in there!.  I got crackers, dried apricots, popcorn, almonds, brie, homemade granola, a fig bar, raspberry-chipotle jelly, and a card.

This was the popcorn.  It is no ordinary popcorn.  It is funky chunky popcorn.  And it was amazing.  I ate the entire bag without breathing,.

Here's the homemade granola.  It was very tasty.  It had flax seed in it and some other yummy stuff. She recommended eating it with milk or yogurt but mine didn't last very long. I are it straight from the bag.

This is the Brie cheese with with raspberry chipotle sauce.  She recommended putting it on the crackers, so that's what I did.

And she was right. It was tasty.

Thanks Terri for such a delicious box - I love everything!
