The amish stuff is fun to buy (I put back the pickled eggs and the chow chow), and nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a tastykake.
:D

The Jake and Amos stuff looks awesome! Hot pickled cauliflower and fungus? That's some decadent stuff, there. And the Ingelhoffer's cream style horseradish is to die for. Used to be able to get that here, but haven't seen it for years.

A friend, who's a Jersey native living in Dallas, was ecstatic to find he could buy them online. :D

Jinx and I were discussing them one nite in chat ,
She had Never had one so I sent her some to try .

Like I said, I am not accusing anyone of anything. I was just commenting on how and why the government packages them the way they do. To try to cut down on theft by the soldiers looking to make a few extra bucks. Hell if you want some that I got from when I was on Active Duty, let me know and I will send you some more. :)

Don't take 'em Zippyt, they're stolen. :lol:

TheMercenary 12-15-2009 03:43 AM

But they last for years! :)

I received a non-Secret Santa gift last Saturday.
At first I honestly believed it to be from my Secret Santa. In a way it was - he's not secret, but he is like Santa. He creeps in during the night and leaves you feeling warm and happy. Oh wait, that was my fantasy :yum:

I'll list my lovely gifts and let you see if you can guess who sent them.

In the top picture below, from left to right
Back row - drinks holder, Anti-Monkey Butt powder, card accompanying the goodies
Middle row - a lovely sparkly scrubber (like me) and my Russian dolls (see blow)
Front row - bacon scented air freshener which is now up in the kitchen

The Russian dolls are actually a set of measuring cups, so that I no longer have to have translations when I read American recipes, or get American packet mixes. My bro already wants to borrow them.

The air freshener is in the kitchen because it really does smell of bacon. I tried it on my door handle, and when I walked into the room I pushed a cloud of bacon scent in front of me. Not good for me or Diz.

All beautiful, all well chosen, and the dolls will be in use for years to come, especially as they take up such little space - a marvel of design.
