Heritage Recipe Swap - Question on Post #110!!

[rlovew]

Okay I found the recipe I am doing. It is a Florida Fruit Smoothie. It was really hard to find something I liked that might be worth sending. I like conch fritters but I only order them at restraunts i wouldn't know where to buy conch. The thing my area of florida is known for is Swamp Cabbage. I don't eat it but that is really what our local recipes are of and not only can you not buy it. In order to harvest it you have to kill a palm tree. So I found a Florida Fruit smoothie that sounded pretty good.

Sounds good to me - they don't have conch or palm trees in Sidcup Fruit I can manage

We have swamp cabbage here up north by Canada, but no palm trees. Hmm...maybe different varieties of swamp cabbage. I do know that people can eat it, but I don't know anyone that does, except in dire emergencies (lost for days in the woods ).

The swamp cabbage they talk about around here is the heart of the cabbage palm. They cut down the tree and the area where the leaves attach to the truck are the spot they cut out to eat. Once they have cut it out though the tree is dead so calling it swamp cabbage is really a misnomer.

Now that I think about it, ours might be called skunk cabbage...

Anyway, I have finally finished all my recipes. I just have to wrap them individually and label them, then ship them.

OH! it IS skunk cabbage! I'm glad you posted that, I couldn't figure out how they had the same thing in Florida as in Washington only with palm trees...that really threw me for a loop!

Mazda yours made it! I didn't open it yet, I am waiting for the rest to get here and do a big swap all at once!

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm so glad! Stuff seems to be getting through now -DS(14)'s MAD comics made it so he's happy for the rest of the week

I'm just waiting on some photos to get here. I hate being this close to the deadline, but I really felt stuck for a while on this swap. I think, as soon as the pics are here, that I'll be happy with the finished product. Not as elaborate as some of my past swpa items, but it's a really good recipe, I promise!

No worries! You still have time, please don't stress over this!

Mine are shipped and on there way. They should make it across the state fairly quickly.

Mine will go out at the end of the week. I always mail priority, so they will be there before the due date.

 

[VickiV]

Finally got mine shipped today in a plain brown box, but they went priority. They will be there in time. Hope everyone likes them!

Mine were a little too "fluffy" to all fit in an envelope. You can return in the same box or if they fit in an envelope, you can do that too.

Mine are done, although they ended up a lot more simple than I had planned. Somehow, nothing I did with them made me perfectly happy. I'll get them into the mail on Monday, since I missed the post office today. Sorry to be so last minute.

 

[YodasMom]

Mine are done. I will label and pack tomorrow night and get them in the mail priority on Tuesday morning. Had a funeral to go to yesterday so I wasn't able to get them done then. They'll be there before the due date, though.

They're here. I haven't opened the box. I am waiting until they are all here and then will open and swap them out!

Rather simple and beautiful than covered in "stuff" that falls off, or a recipe full of mistakes! I bet they're lovely

 

[ddavis860]

I think I'm going to have to overnight these. My last one (the corn pudding) just isn't coming together right. Scrapped it, hated it, scrapped it again...and hated that too...yeeesh...

So, I'll be too late for priority I think

On a brighter note, I like the other 3

 

[YodasMom]

Mine are postal, priority with DC. Thanks for hosting!!

Hi Dyan,

My Delivery Confirmation tells me my box was delivered today, Thursday. Just checking to make sure you got it?

Thanks!
