I participated for the first time in European Blogging by Post, hosted by The Passionate Cook. The concept goes like this: you put together a box of goodies to send to another food blogger, and in return, you get a box of goodies from someone else. What an awesome idea! I loved the theme this time around too: childhood sweets. So my lucky recipient will get a bunch of Asian kid sweets from me. (Other Asian-Americans out there-- remember Botan Rice Candy? Pocky? I loved that stuff!)

My package came the other day, and it was from The Passionate Cook herself! She is travelling in Italy, so she explained in the note that this is just a preliminary package-- but it had some great stuff nonetheless!

She was in Austria as a kid, so Milka Zartherb was the childhood sweets theme
A nice chocolate lolly
A cute honey spoon that my kids went bonkers over
Tea and honey
Homemade spiced plum and orange preserves (this is totally delish!)

putting together the real parcel as we speak, my brother sent 5 kg worth of sweets, which i am not all sending on... so we'll be piling on the pounds together! luckily (like me) you've got a family to help you out ;-)

Hi Sheryl

Thank you so much for the parcel, which arrived today. Fabulous contents. You must have been reading my mind while you compiled it, I love dutch cheese and the sesame snaps are a personal favourite
