mmm...here was my pile o' goodies when I returned back from the states (of course it is all gone now:))! I know I owe you a blog post about home, travels to Berlin, my 6 month anniversary in Prague (nearly 7 months now - can you believe it?!) and my most recent adventure to a Polish wedding (one word: wow!), but for now I have a wanted to get a very vital blog post taken care of. First of all, I am wondering if anyone is even reading this?! I know, I know...I've lost you due to my blog negligence, haven't I?! Ah well. I'll get you back. Maybe I will butter you up with some czech treats (can anyone say slivovice?! ;))...
So I always get the "what do you miss most from America/what can I send you from America question". Since I get this question so often, I thought I'd throw out a broad-reaching answer so we can all be a lot more efficient...and I think this spread (see pic above) pretty much says it all. If you are looking to send me a package...no more mac-n-cheese! The word got out and I have a cupboard full (thanks Laura, Stacy, Dad, etc...but I am turning into a yellow/orange noodle - no more mac!;))...so my awesome dad also sent me some good spices for cookin' (which I haven't done enough of).
I miss organic fruit leathers (see bottom left of shot for the variety), Vosges Red Fire Bars (bottom right of pic), anything from Patina - especially cool birthday/get well/thank you/etc. cards (blank ones for me to send from here, as the cards here look like they were derived from my late grandmother's card collection - nothing against it...of course...but flowers and teddy bears and the like, you know?! I'm more of the vintage 1950's crude-card or offensive + delightful card gal), shitbegone (from the green store on hennepin in uptown..because you can never have enough) and one thing I'd really love is some yummy candles. Greta sent a Voluspa candle for my bday (Vervaine Olive Leaf) and it smells gorgeous, but it is almost gone. I would die for a Voluspa santiago black huckleberry (I think that is what it is called) variety right now.
mmm.
mmm.
The list goes on. I love a lil' piece of home sent my way...even (especially!) if it is a sweet card with a sweet message!
So, there you have it.
Oh, I can't tell you how excited I am to get your post! ;) hee.
Happy sending,
Me

Just wanted to let you know that I read your blogs... since you were wondering.
ReplyDeleteI know we haven't kept in touch, but it's always good to see where everyone is and what they are doing these days. It sounds like you are having a great time over there. By the way, I have never seen a 26 year old, human/noodle hybrid, so could you please post a pic? ha ha. Take care Megs.
Aww, thanks Meg...at least someone out there is;). ha ha. How are you, girl?!
ReplyDeleteI am indeed having a great experience... definitely learning a great deal about myself, my relationships and life in general. Ha ha...I will definitely work on that human/noodle hybrid pic stat! :)
Hope you are doing well and enjoying life, Meg!
