This Viet lady told me the same thing when she added a dollar in the purse she gave me. Hmm...just remembered, my cousin from Vietnam gave me several purses, none had money in it. :eyebrow: I think I will insist on having some money put in any purses given to me in the future. :D

My family (Irish Catholic) does the money in the purse things. Crazynurse's family (more Irish, more Catholic), does a penny and a bit of straw swiped from the church manger at Christmas.

Hey are you related to the wolf that used to post a lot at the cellar, BITD?

There are various apochryphal stories about people choking on the silver sixpences hidden in Christmas puddings. Har-har-har not so lucky after all.
I have a spare one if anyone is interested.
A sixpence. And not to choke on of course.

I'm amazed that they let them sell King Cakes for Mardi Gras with a plastic baby baked in.

I know. You'd expect at least a real baby in a King cake, if not an actual king.

Guess that baby flour'd be gluten free, worth a shot.

But cheaper if you buy it in bulk on the internet. I know some great dried-baby resources.

A Nawlins-based client of a former employer of mine sent a King cake to our office one Mardi Gras. The plastic baby came separately in a little plastic bag, so I guess the recipient was responsible for putting it the cake and creating the choking hazard...
