so ours got sent out a little late do to some car issues (and due to the fact the philip decided that we couldnt send one of his recipes because someone dies whenever someone passes it on???

)...at least looking at this board it looks like we are not the only ones who missed the deadline a little...
however, we did receive ours last thursday, from mommytotwo!
here is what we got:
recipe for thumbprint cookies (guava jelly)
recipe for mandarin cake (can of mandarin oranges, can of pineapple, yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix)
recipe for pineapple upside down cake (with the exception of the mandarin oranges, the ingredients for the other cake could be used for this too!)
recipe for mango bread
recipe for hot potato salad
recipe for Korean style fried chicken
recipe for double chocolate brownies
recipe for peanut butter cookies
box of honey cornbread mix
vegetable peeler
a few blank recipe cards
so the same day we got the package i made the thumbprint cookies, which are like butter cookies with a little well made by a thumb (hence the name) that gets filled with jelly. neither phil nor i had ever had guava or guava jelly, but we loved them! they were delicious, buttery and light. I was low on sugar so i subbed half the sugar with splenda, but they still came out great. phil, who thought the idea of an exchange was silly when i told him i signed us up, changed his mind!
tonight was are going to make the pineapple upsidedown cake!

p.s. i think i am going to get my own name, since all except about 10 of posts from this name are actually from phil!
