I’ve participated in another Blogging by Mail event - this one for the first time as Cookworm instead of my old blog. The idea is this: a theme is chosen (this time it was a Few of Your Favorite Things), you’re matched up with a fellow food blogger, and you mail edible (and sometimes non-edible) treats to them, as you await a mystery package from another person. It’s a lot of fun to find out what people send and who you will be matched up with, as well as a good way to get introduced to some fellow bloggers. This time around it was organized by Stephanie at Dispensing Happiness, and I was paired with Brilynn of Jumbo Empanadas.
It was certainly a jumbo package from Ms. Jumbo Empanadas, and full of neat things. Brilynn lives in Canada, so there was very much a maple theme, with maple syrup, maple sugar, and a few maple candies (looking forward to using this stuff - I just love maple everything). There is also a jar of local honey, some cute tartlet pans, a hand-knitted cupcake (!), Tim Horton’s coffee (never tried this, I’m an Illy addict, so something new should be neat), a butter keeper, and a local food magazine. Thanks so much, Brilynn!
No word yet from the person I sent a BBM package to…hopefully she’ll post about it soon.
