After further review.....I think that we can run this this way....
Since it will take too long to circulate a notebook, Maybe we can just have people pair off with their food requests...That way everyone gets instant gratification and everyone gets what they want and we can post our thoughts immediately.
If you crave something, or can fill someone's order.......let the person know and make arrangements!
"instant gratification" .... now you're singing my kind of song :D
Miss Meow...
I guess I will start off this project by sending you some Ranch Dressing...
I want to warn you...You will be getting an envelope with white powder in it......
Not anthrax-just ranch dressing!:rolleyes:
And do you have Temptations over there?
Temptations? Aren't they from MoTown?? Anyone like smoked oysters? New Aulins chickory coffee?
I'll send the English Tea to Catnapper
This sounds fun!
I'll send Catnapper's hubby his Fish and Chips - sorry not from Scotland - but from the best place - the north of England!!
Did I hear Dill Pickles - oh I'm drooling here - I still have beautiful dreams of the ones Naomie sent - and we still don't get them here either.
Good idea Richard.
Lynne
the chippy "brand" is Old Dutch. I sent Amy (Wolf_Q) dill pickle and ketchup ones. Apparently she had a hard time making them last too ;)
How about everyone make their wish list of what they would like and we all could send to different people? We would have to make sure no one got left out, though.
Where do we send our wish list? What is the limit (both in price and size)? Does it have to be made here?
Middles Worth BQ chips! Only PA has them and they are the BEST!!! I love them, mmm mmm!! If you've never had them, you NEED TO!!
LOL,
Ash :D
Richard, I specifically put anthrax on my wish list. Can you please label both white powders separately? ;)Quote:

Your offer of ranch is gratefully accepted :) We don't have Temptations here, whatever they may be! Is there anything on your wish list from Oz?
I'm sending some Vegemite and other treats to PJ's Mom :)
??:confused:
I would like to participate and I can put in the world famous Gimpet paste for cats- but I still don't have any idea how it should work!;)
Richard and I are both from California - so ask away! Is there anything specifically from Southern California that you are just dying to have? We will try our darndest - but it is a little difficult to ship movie stars - you can understand how difficult they can be!
I am up for any exchange - it should be a lot of fun.
Miss Meow is shipping Vegemite over here......oh no!!
Nobody here will ask you to send Arnie back:D :D :D
Well,
Let's see what everyone likes or wants,
post what you would like to receive.....
and let's work on it as we go along...
We can match people up as we go along!!
Anyone in Tenneesse willing to send me Corky's BBQ sauce?
I want either sanfransico sourdough or alaska sourdough the really really sour stuff.
Mix or fresh???Quote:

--------------------------
Barbara,
I am willing to trade some Temptations for some
vitamin paste!
Interested?
---------------------------
Anyone from Tennessee??
------------------------
Felicia's Mom,
I am sorry about the confusion...I wanted to start this out as a chain letter but...........
I think that the best way to do this is post something that you like, want to share or think that you would like to have sent to you....
I know that certain requests can't be filled because of locale, weight, or availibility...
But there are some things- chips, small canned foods, small food items that can shipped without fear of breakage, spoiling, etc....not everyone's wish will be filled and not everyone's offer will be taken up.
But I think if we all keep posting and looking at what there is to be offered, we can make this work!
It will just take some time, effort and a little work on everyone's part!!!
I think about 15-20 bucks should just about do it.
and a 2-3 pound limit (1-1.5 kilos) should be fine.
fresh loaf of course
I think we have a way to make this work....
Bartering....
Miss Meow wanted to send me some chocolate in exchange for her treats.....
I am willing to have my chocolate sent to PJ's mom
along with the Vegemite, So if PJ's mom wants to post something she has or is willing to send someone we can move along......

Nomi and Lynne,
Hold that thought for a second!

Nomi,
If you send Lynne those chips and Lynne gets Catnapper some tea.........
:D
What can I send where? ;)

If i remember correctly yours was Maple Sugar Candy?
Catnapper, Corrina and Cincy's Mom, Barbara, Gini and Felicia's Mom...
DukeDogsMom and Aspen and Misty....
If you all see something or want to offer something up...........:)
We can do this!!
:D
Cincy'sMom,
Next time I go to the store I will look for the Corky's BBQ sauce, and see if I can get it here in this little one horse town.
Willie
I'm really looking forward to real English tea! I don;t know what someone would want from my area, but we certainly have lots of great things to eat.
Thanks Willie! I have only bought it at the resteraunts in Memphis and Nashville, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it is at the grocery store!!!Quote:

Probablly the most local things I can offer are Tony Paco's Hot dog sauce, or pickles and peppers, Dietsch's chocolate, Ballerich's potato chips or some dog treats from the local bakery...
I can send some chips to Lynne again :D It won't be until a couple weeks though - I'm really REALLY busy for the next little while.
I do have a problem though.. I can't think of anything I would like :confused: Anyone have any suggestions about a signature item from their areas? I don't like spicy, I like chocolates, I LOVE tea and hot chocolate, so there's a couple ideas :)
Richard: Temptations against vitamin paste would be great. (I hope California allows the import of any stuff that can be eaten);)
There's always nifty stuff here in the Southwest. Prickly pear jam, candy etc. Jalapeno candy. chili fixins. Stuff like that... So that may be an option for someone. :)
If Naomi is sending me some more dill chips can I send her some gorgeous chocolate? If that's a goer - do you prefer milk chocolate or plain (dark) chocolate Naomi? Or maybe some of each? :) :) :)
Lynne
I am the world's biggest chilli-head (no comments, Richard ;)). Can we do a swap? :)Quote:

Is there anything you'd like?
Naomi, I'll be hitting you up for a chip vs licorice swap in a few weeks if you're interested!!! :D
If you like chili, there's a company out here that makes a "kit" called "Ass Kickin' Chili Fixins" It's got all the seasonings n stuff in a nifty little pouch. DAMN good chili! hehe I'd be totally willing to do a swap... I'm trying to think what my aussie friend's mom used to make that I loved and I'm drawing a blank. I've got a bit of a sweet tooth... any suggestions? :)
OH MY, HOORAY I just thought of something rather local that would be perfect for anyone that likes home-made caramels!! Valati's Caramels come in vanilla or chocolate, with or without nuts, chewy or hard (the hard aren't really hard, they sort of crumble in your mouth and are a personal favorite of mine). They also come in a mixed box, a bit of everything. Oh joy, oh rapture... just the very thought makes my eyes glaze over ;)
Okay, when it begins to appear in stores - should be any day now, as this IS sugaring season - I'll ship some out. Who wants some? It's swweeeeeettt!Quote:

Mmmmmm.... caramels............ :p **drrrroooolllllll**
Heinz57......I would love some prickly pear jelly! And if you've got a sweet tooth, how would you like some freshly made citrus candy? It is so good! We need to have someone make a list of our names and what we have to offer. It's too hard to remember who has what:p Who would be willing to take up that task? I could do it Friday night if everyone wants to pm me with what they have to offer. And, some maple candy sounds good as well.
I don't think I've ever had citrus candy.... sounds interesting... :) And it sounds like I may have to make a run to the Chili Co. to fulfil a shopping list. hehehe
I can do chocolate treats like Violet Crumbles, Kit Kats, Freddo Frogs, Maltesers, Natural Lolly Co Sour Snakes, and you can't live without having eaten a Polly Waffle ;)Quote:
