WANTED: I'm having 'Sundae's' tonight !!!! Thanks Alison !!!

19 years ago

I woke up this morning, and I was pouring myself a cup of coffee, when my husband asked me when I was going to open up that package. He pointed to a box that was sitting on the floor by the laundry room. I screamed "WHAT"!!! He said it arrived yesterday. I asked him why he didn't tell me, and he said, he thought I saw it. You see, I do alot of shopping on E-Bay, and he assumed it was just another parcel from E-Bay.LOL

I grabbed the box, and my coffee, and headed outside to the Patio. I wanted to be on the Patio to, open my Swap Box, as I wanted the enviroment to be with the Theme. Actually, it was a beautiful sunny morning too!!!

The box that Alison sent it in, I can reuse, as it is just the perfect mailing box, and I do alot of mailing myself. Just wanted you to know that Alison, as I do appreciate you sending it in such a strong, durable box, that I can reuse. Hey, one of you may get it in a future Swap!!!LOL

Well, these are the wonderful items I pulled out of the box :

1) "World Market" Cedar Grilling Papers. I can't wait to roll up some "Fresh Sockeye Salmon" in these !!! Then onto the Barbacue they go.

2) "Torani Caramel Sauce"

"Torani White Chocolate Sauce"

"Torani Caffe Mocha Chocolate Sauce"

3) "Two Blue Sundae Dishes"

"Two Green Sundae Dishes"

I just love them, and so does my daughter, as I don't have Sundae dishes, and I have been meaning to bye some. Alison, the colors are just perfect, as green & blue are the colors I use on my Patio!!! I can't believe it!!! Do the people on this Forum have physic powers, or what? I'm off to the store to bye icecream, and its Sundaes for us tonight!!! My daughter informs me I must bye "Sprinkles" too!!!LOL

Thank you so much for everything Alison, and I just want you to know you have made my day!!! I wish I could post pictures, but my Camera has been sent away for repairs, for the third time, since I got the camera for Christmas. If you happen to have taken pics, would you please post them for me!!! If not, I will definately take pics when I get it back. Thank you once again!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!

The dishes look something like this, but they are green & blue.

Not yet anyways!!!LOL Thank you once again !!! Diana55

Thank you every one for the very nice comments.I thought I had already posted some follow ups on this post, but, guess I didn't.About me forgetting the names of some and had to delete them, what I usually do is,I bring a little note pad out with me, and some times,I walk through and see whats blooming, and ones I want to take pictures of,and write the name of them in this note pad.Then when I have my list made up,I go back and take the pictures,and put a ck mark by the one I just took the picture of,, or other times, I will take the photos, then write its name down on my note pad.When I load it into the pc,its all in order just like I took them..but that day,I had took several pictures and when I went to write them down in the note pad, the daughter showed up,and i got distracted,and thought no big deal,I will remember them, but,later,I didn't remember what I took pictures of. Thank you for looking at them,and commenting on them, Jean

I had to laugh when I saw the jar opener next to the silver salt & pepper shakers! I was also shocked to see sterling silver - those are very beautiful, and I love the way they photograph - in the close-up view I can almost see a reflection of the photographer, but she managed to hide herself very well. The jar opener looks like it will be very useful - mine works but could be better. I kept translating the name "Liebling" as "darling" while I was reading the posts until I noticed that it was the author's name. I scrolled past the first part too fast. I had a client in San Francisco who had a house high up on Telegraph Hill, and I worked on several rooms in that house. The views there are the best! It sounds like your friends were his neighbors. I also like the square plates and am another fleur de lis fan, having a French grandmother on my father's side. Very impressive! Lars

I heard from Janet this morning. Unfortunately her friend died yesterday and as you can imagine she is sad and overwhelmed in dealing with this. She said that she will be back posting in a few days. Janet, know that our thoughts are with you. Ann

Man, I'm drooling over your Asian Plum Sauce! The others look good too but that plum has my mouth watering. The cookbook's going to be fun. Please post the recipe for the spud candy... I really like the triangular, hand-painted plate. We've seen a wonderful sampling of great crafts in this swap. It's been my fav category. Enjoy, Alison and Great Job, Katie! Tricia

Neat Stuff !
Will be watching to see how those wraps work out.

And Sundaes-- they actually taste better in those official Sundae dishes-- something the whole family can enjoy, Diana.

Good going Alison

We have Sundae dishes exactly like these and use them ALL THE TIME for pudding, mini trifle, jello and then of course ice cream. The sundae dishes make a simple dessert special and so pretty.

The toppings sound delish! I've never heard of grilling papers and will have to check these out. Can you wrap just about anything, meat or veggies, in the papers?

Diana, you must be really excited! LOL

Those sauces sound decadent, and I really hope Alison will post pix of the sundae dishes.

Grilling papers? I have never seen those. It will be fun to try them on the BBQ!

Yay! They arrived safely!

When I saw those sundae glasses, I knew they'd be perfect -- so cool and summery. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, but they are lovely colors, sort of a pale green and frosted blueberry.

And then you had to have the sauces to go with the cups....

I'm glad you haven't tried the grilling papers before -- and that you're looking forward to them. As I said in my note, I was a little hesitant to send anything cedar out to the Pacific Northwest, but they're just so neat! I've grilled shrimp in them, and a vegetarian friend of mine loves doing veggies and cheese -- she says cedar smoked gouda is a real treat!

I'm so glad they arrived, and that you like the items. I had a lot of fun wrapping them all up. (That box is fabulous, isn't it? )

Smokin' papers sound very cool to me! I still have my bag from Janet to try out....I need to do that soon and report back. Nothing better than a cold dessert after smokin' something on the grill....looks like your good to go with those dessert glasses Diana. Great package Alison.

Such neat, unique items so far in this swap! I'm out looking for the grilling papers. Poor DH he set up this outside kitchen, and now I plan that EVERYTHING he makes for those meals is grilled - we don't have enough room on the Weber. LOL his solution - bring down the old grill and put it next to the new one.

I've never seen the grilling papers, those are very clever.

Since it's been nearly 100 even here, ice cream sundaes are the perfect food I think.

Great package, and I'm sure Diana is enjoying it all.

That Alison packs a good swap box, doesn't she? The grilling papers are very cool...DH just bought a new grill, we'll have to be on the lookout for those. Love those classic sundae dishes and Torani makes great flavors. 97 here today and 104 by Friday. We're going through lots of ice cream!
