Day 545 - Foodie Pen Pal Reveal

Hi everyone!  Sorry this post is so late.  I had a bit of an adventure to the ER this evening.  I will tell you all about it tomorrow in my post.  But for today, I am sharing the goodies my Foodie Pen Pal sent me for April!

This month my pen pal was Sondra Menzies.  She blogs over at http://blog.purplehousedesigns.com/ if you want to check her out!  I am always SO excited to get my box every month.  Here is what April's box contained!

My lovely handwritten note.  Sondra's theme for this month was "Enjoy a World of Flavor"  Each item she sent me comes from a different part of the world.  How clever, and I love the little heart she drew!

Nutella from Germany!  CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH THIS STUFF!  I love the little individual packages of this.  I am going to have to find these for me  Perfect for portion control!  Because we all know a spoonful of Nutella helps the Nutella go down!

Orange Jelly from France.  Feel so fancy eating jelly from France!

Sauerkraut from Germany.  We love kraut in our house so this was a hit!

Plantain Chips from Peru!  Taste like candy!

Crystal Noodle Soup from China

Couscous from Morocco.  Another hit, we LOVE this stuff! 

Ginger Thins from Sweden.  These are so tasty with a cup of hot green tea and I had to fight my hubby for these!

Yellow Rice from Spain

Dal Tadka from India - I have not tried this yet, but I can't wait.  Looks so good!

I LOVED everything in my box!
