BBM 10 items or less

It's funny. Last BBM (which you can read down below, because I haven't posted anything else since then, stupid me), I waited and waited for my package and it never arrived. Instead Stephanie was a sweetheart and sent me a package.
This time, I was much luckier and acctually was one of the first to recieve my package.

See the list and follow the links here.

Rice and grits from the Carolina plantation. I got most excited about these and even though I'm on a GI diet at the moment, I can't wait to use these somehow!!

American tea. I've never tried american tea, I didn't even know there was anything called that. Interesting.


Sugar covered pecan nuts. These were deadly sweet but delicious ;) I gave them to my friend Kara as she loves all nuts. She was thrilled!

Charleston Chew. I've had these before as we have an american food store, and they mostly sell sweets. I like the chocolate flavoured ones more haha.

I also got some lemon marmelade and some nicks and nacks...
12 kitchen labels, a museum bookmark, metal tags and something I'm guessing is a christmas ornament in the shape of a sweetgrass basket.
Now I'm off to thank the person who sent me all these things, here!

NOTE apparently this post is blocked because of as put in an email "something that rimes with corn"... hmmm if anyone knows which part would cause this please leave me a note ;)

OH and if anyone who uses blogger, knows why I keep getting an error code saying bX-pier7a when I try to post, again please contact me...

57 out of 100 beat it!

Taken from Dispensing Happiness
...a list of things every omnivore should eat.
It's taken from Very good taste... and what he wants you to do:


1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. (There's nothing I wouldn't try once)
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

I had to look alot of these things up through google because they aren't named that here in Sweden. But I'm surprised to say I have 57 out of 100. WOW! And alot are things I can't even get a hold of here!

BBM thanks to the absolutely lovely Stephanie!

I never got my BBM pack. Well not the one intended for me and I had just gotten to peace with it, because it's someones time each time and this time it was mine, when... I found a big box waiting for me!
Stephanie, who is hosting Blogging By Mail sent me some things and I'm thrilled!
This is what I got:
- Bathstuff from the Worldmarket. Peppermint scented...
- Popcorn, HOT mmm can't wait to try these!
- Heinz Ketchup, a really small bottle that I'm giving to my nephew, who loves small bottles.
- A cute serving dish, silver coloured. From the Worldmarket
- Torani hazelnut flavoured syrup... for my coffee!
- Worldmarket mermaid drink markers... I have a mini bar and these fit right in!!
- Bamboo Picks, well with these and the drink markers, I guess I ought to have a cocktail party soon!
- Chowards Violet
- Clark bar
- Fruit Stripe gum
- Nutella
- Scharfenberger chocolate
- Newtree ginger chocolate
- Vosges Red Fire Bar (chili chocolate)
- Loa chocolate covered macadamia nuts

And wow, that's all I think.
I haven't got much to say about the candy yet cause I haven't tried much as I'm dieting. I did eat some of the chocolate though... Scharfenberger, which I got in 3 flavours, semisweet, bittersweet and extra dark. I love dark chocolate and this went straight to the top list of flavours! I also had to try the chili chocolate and ginger chocolate and I liked both. Although I love a more spicier chili flavour. Preferably one that slightly burn the lips. Mmmmmm

I think Stephanie is an angel. She didn't have to send me a gift, I was ok with missing my pack. Sad but ok, and I was just looking forward to next round! Now I didn't only get a ton of cool stuff and candy, I got inspiration for next round... I'm gonna raid my mums shop for a cool dish. She's got alot of 50-80's stuff that I just love. It all depends on the reciever of course.

PS, myc amera's broke, took the picture with my cellphone. Sorry but it was either that or no picture at all.

Welcome Back Catching Points!!

Wow.
The best thing about Blogger is, that it keeps your post forever.
I have a blog in here that was like a diary 5 years ago. Imagine reading that.

Anyway. I abandoned wordpress, which gave me nothing but grief. Everytime I fixed one bugg another appeared. Out of the blue. It was like having a virus on your harddrive except it was on my boybeater server. Nope, gone it had to go.

I'm planning on posting here every now and then. Get up what I'm eating now and how it makes me drop pound after pound! You'll love it! I get to eat fat!

I'm also waiting for my Blogger By Mail package. I sent mine of weeks before it had to go, but no sign of recieving one.... I'm probably one of the packages not even shipped yet. It would be the icing on an already miserable month. Yes I'm bitter...

I haven't got a reciepe for you just yet. I'm gonna write about GI one of these days aswell. I wont be a daily updated blog, for one of those go to for example Annes Food. She just posted about the BBM package she got.

MOVED

I've fixed my wordpress blog and I've moved this blog to my old domain!!!
No more waiting for Blogger to stop screwing up! No more uploading problems or slow connection times!
What are you waiting for???

HEAD ON OVER TO:

BOYBEATER.ORG

I'm going insaaaane!

The reason I haven't been such an avid food/recipe blogger lately (besides the fulltime studying) is that I'm trying to put up my wordpress blog. Everything is going fairly well except the fact that I want a page for the archives (ie archives/index.php) and store all my archives there instead of having all the links on my index page. Is there ANYONE out there who knows how to do this??
I'll send you a thank you package with some swedish treats! JUST HELP ME???
email me (xonie@hotmail.com), be sure to put the topic as wordpress or it'll go straight to my junkmailbox! Remember, gifts for you!!!!

Cottage Cheese as a lunchbox

I'm trying not to eat too many sandwiches, so for lunch lately I've been mashing some avocadoes up, mixing them with a splash of lemon and loads of tabasco (Some like it hot...) and then mixing that mash up with some Keso, our very own swedish cottage cheese. I just press the mixture back into my cottage cheese box and bring that to school, eatit at lunch adn then throw the plastic box away. Very convinient and tasty!
