Wow! What a haul! You are one lucky swapper, and Diana... shame on you! You're making the rest of us look bad!

Those mashed potato spices sound intriguing. I love doctoring them up--a flavor for every meat dish. I want to hear how everything tastes, especially the pomegranate balsamic vinegar. I have a great salad recipe with pomegranate seeds and pears that would go great with that!

Let us know about the shaker--that sounds like a wonderful invention. I've never seen it before.

Congratulations on such a great gift Diana, and Shaun--you're not last, just lucky!

How fabulous! Everything is unique, just like you Shaun--go figure.

Great package and packaging Diana.

Cathy

May I ask if that is a Jamie O shaker?

How wonderful!
I would say it was just perfect from head to toe.

Monique you're right!

Check this out!

Oh I tried it out with the peppercorns and then I stuck a garlic clove in it......man this thing ROCKS!!! Hubs tried it and then our son tried it. We had a ball with it! Works terrific.

Everyone should get one! We'll wear our red crocs and shake it up!!

What a great spread......I bought a flavour shaker for my Brother in law at Christmas, he likes it too. That is a really lovely looking package.

janet

That is one great package! So many interesting new items and they all look like great finds!
Enjoy!

Such an enabler... after your rave about the Flavour Shaker, I just had to have one... just bought it! LOL. Seiously, Shaun, that's a terrific package! Diana, wonderful items!

Jayne

Now I want one of those shaker thingies too! Yet another thing I've never heard of before. Great package you have there Shaun....and no frogs! : ) Way to go Diana!!

David

Wow, Shaun, what a great package, the oils look really interesting and that flavor shaker is something I've never seen either.

Diana, either you can't count to three or the conversion from Canada's metrics to our U.S. system of measurement threw you off. Yeah, that must be it. LOL

Annie

Your so welcome Shaun!!!I'm glad you like everything. I'm sorry that I didn't stick to 3 items!!! I must confess, I'm a shopaholic!!!LOL Just ask my husband!!! I shop on eBay all the time and my husband say's he's tired of having to drive to the post office to pick up my parcels.LOL You guy's will just have to get used to me. I have a hard time deciding what to buy. I think you will like your flavor shaker. I have one too, and I use it all the time. It's great to make salad dressings with!!! Shaun, I had to laugh, when you thought that you were going to be last to recieve, because I had mailed it out a few days before you posted that message. I think I'm going to be last!!!LOL I hope you enjoy everything!!!! Diana55

Wow. That's all I gotta say.

Whoo hoo Diana! It seems you know our Shaun well.

Enjoy your package, Shaun!

LOL Annie!

Wow is right!! I've never seen that flavor shaker either. Might have to look into that....

The Flavor Shaker is so cool! Is the ball crusher/mixer heavy? I found the Flavour Shaker on Amazon if anyone is interested and yes, it's now on my Amazon Wish List!

Diana, such a cute idea putting everything in that darling gift luggage!

The Mashed Potato seasonings look wonderful as do the fabulous oils. And how fun to have such a nice variety to play around with.

You did a great job Diana! And Shaun have a great time using all your new goodies!

Michelle

Very nice.

Linda

Does anyone remember this scene from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian'? Should we do this to swap cheaters? (warning: you have to be a Python fan to appreciate it, otherwise, just ignore me)

Well Shaun, this packages sounds like it will be a nice change or addition to your cookie diet! When's dinner - I'll be right over!

Nice job Diana. We'll get you later.

Shaun....Shake it up Baby!

Great swap pkg Diana, you are an excellant shopper.

Nancy

Shaun, so many nice things to enjoy. Kitsilano is the area I lived in in Vancouver. The potholders are a beautiful colour. And the shaker is really neat. Enjoy it all Shaun.

Ann

PS. Interesting that it is the "Dianas" that have the biggest problem counting.

Hee hee! Jessy funny clip!

Okay Jessy.......Thats the funniest from you yet!!! I know I'm a bad girl, but please don't stone me, for I mean no harm.Shall I move to the back? I will try to be good in future Swaps!!! I repeat........Limit 3 items......I repeat 3 items.....I shall never "over buy" again........I repeat 3 items.........For I have sinned!!!! Diana55
P.S....I haven't seen " Life of Brian" since I was 15 years old, and I don't really remember it for some reason. I think there was a boy in the theater trying to put his arm around me!!!

Too funny, Jessica!

What a package, so many useful and beautiful goodies... love those potholders, and the oils and vinegars look amazing!

Very nice!

Catherine

Ha Ha......Made you read it!!!!LOLLOLOLOLOOLOOLOLOLOL

~whew!~

Ah don't worry Diana I was only messing with you and all the other cheaters (me included - my box to Alison). I kinda imagined AnnT as John Cleese and all of us rabid females just waiting to pounce on those who can't count to three and/or yell 'Jehovah'. Except I wouldn't want her stoned. I should post the link on Dlundin's thread so you won't feel lonely!

We are big Python fans. A friend of ours, she is 14, can recite all the skits by heart. We were kinda hoping her Bat Mitzvah theme would have been Python, it wasn't, but her 'montage' (a traditional 10 minute video where pictures of the kid growing up are shown during the party) opened with the rabbi saying 'And now for something completely different'.

And don't you DARE be 'good' in the future swaps! What would we have to complain about if you didn't, or if everyone behaved for that matter (DON'T ANSWER THAT)?

Hugs, GF, didn't mean to put you on the spot but it sure was fun!

That was cool, Diana55. I am afraid I also have trouble with limits, so I didn't even swap this time. You did an awesome job, and Shaun, you are so, so lucky that Diana is numerically challenged!

Who threw that?

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle

Very nice, Diana. I love different vinegars and oils, but especially ones that come in pretty jars. I got a beautiful one from Jessy in the last swap. It's empty now (because it was so good) but still sits on my window sill catching the light.

I want a shaker too. And the box that it all came in is just too cute. Enjoy, Shaun!

Alright, twist my arm, I'll order an flavor shaker too. It's just too cute! Great package and pretty too.

Wow! I knew the Canadian conversion rate had changed, but I didn't know three US meant 9 Canadian!

Wonderful, wonderful box! All of the items seem so great -- and for immediate consumption! That Flavour Shaker looks neat, too.

Great job, Diane -- enjoy it all, Shaun!

I just love the flavor shaker. I think that is something that would get a lot of use at our house. I can just see the girls shaking themselves silly;)

Stacie

Diana, you put together one big ol' package of goodies!!! Everything is wonderful! The potholders and the vinegars will be put to good use by Shaun and I love the flavor shaker! Enjoy your bounty, Shaun!!

What a beautiful package. I love the shaker, too cool and the cocktail napkins are so cute.

Enjoy Shaun and you done good, Diana!
