Spring Break was a whirlwind around here, but before I share what went down during my time away from school, I want to share some of the goodies that I got from this month’s Foodie Pen Pals!
My Foodie Pen Pal this month was Linda, who lives on Black Cat Island in New Hampshire. Google it, the place looks gorgeous!
I absolutely loved my box this month! Linda is amazing and when she read my 101 in 1001 list, she decided to send me some things to help me cross off a few things. Since I’ve always wanted a real herb garden, Linda sent me a bunch of different seeds and these little planter cups to sprout the seeds in. Since my garden last summer was a bit of a fail, I can’t want to replant this year. I’ve also never grown anything from seeds (I always buy seedlings) so this will be a whole new ballgame for me.
The bread mix was to cross off bake bread from my list and the net was to cross off learn to cook seafood other than fish. She also told me that the Jamaican Jerk Rub works great with seafood – something I need to try soon! She also sent a few sweet treats – fruit leather, crystallized ginger and a chocolate mint patty. She also sent Munchkin a maple moose pop, which he was a huge fan of, and recipe cards and a duck cookie cutter for moi.
Overall, this was another great and incredibly thoughtful Foodie Pen Pals box. I love how the program allows you to connect with so many different people and try so many different things that I would normally pass up. If you want to join in on the fun, head over to The Lean Green Bean’s Foodie Pen Pals page and sign up!
That Jamaican jerk run is great on all kinds of seafood. I’ve used it on scallops and they were great. Looks like you had a great pen pal.
That is a such an awesome box full of goodies you got! I’ve always wanted to have my own vegetable garden. That is the first thing I want to do when we own a house 🙂
