First Foodie Exchange!

I joined this really cool group called Foodie Exchange. It is a group that lets you exchange food care packages with people from around the world! For my first exchange I paired up with Vasilis. He is a cook in a monastery in Greece. I was so excited when the package arrived the other day! Everything I have tried so far has been amazing. I am trying to keep some for when Chris gets home again but it is proving difficult! LOL Here's all of the stuff he sent save a giant bag of hand-picked chestnuts that I realized isn't in the picture when I was looking at it.

In the package was amazing homemade liquor, organic extra virgin olive oil, olives, pasta, halva with peanuts, crostinis, honey, instant coffee, turkish delight (the kids have gone all Edmund in Narnia over it!), dried pasta, homemade trahanas, dates, little treats made of quinoa and sesame, a microwave paella risotto that was out of this world, hard candies, gum, and (to my absolute delight) whole filament red saffron! 

I am having a blast trying all of the different foods and just hope my package of American and Japanese treats makes Vasilis just as happy. ☺
