Project 366: day 305

Evie wanted to make a mask…so she did!

Foodie Penpals October 2012

This month I was lucky enough to be matched to Gesa who sent my parcel from Germany! You can follow Gesa on Twitter here. I can’t wait to use the ingredients that I was sent…although, to be honest, there were very few biscuits left from the moment that I opened the parcel!

The contents of my box from Cologne

The parcel came with a lovely letter explaining what to do with all the food in the parcel.

Here are the contents explained…

“Spekulatius” cookies. Cinnamon spiced and very Christmassy – none left!

Honey Bread to be eaten buttered

Eggnog – a recipe was emailed to me to use this in.

Pumpkin Cream in honour of halloween

Leberwurst for breakfast

Gummibears in the shape of a Cologne landmark

Reibekuchen – fried potatoes which, in Rhineland, is typically served with mashed apples

A great haul, I’m sure you will agree! Thank you Gesa!

And here’s the box I sent
