Probably my favorite time of the month - Foodie Penpals reveal!
I've been so so sooooo excited about getting my package, there was a slight mishap with my partner meaning I was assigned to a new one a little late so this month I had to wait a little longer. Fikir my new penpal was very thorough in finding out what I liked & disliked, & even dropped my parcel off at Mango because we both live in Leeds!
What I received: Homemade nut brittle Homemade chocolate coated coffee beans Lindt chocolates Jerk Paste Harissa Paste 2x glass ramekins Crocodile silicone oven glove! You would not believe how happy I was when I saw the nut brittle & chocolate coffee beans! Its the first time I've ever received something homemade! - So far I've had a little nibble on the brittle with a cup of tea & honestly its so yummy, I LOVE almonds so it's perfect as my evening snack. Not surprisingly, Creature likes it too, so I better get hiding my treats!
The coffee beans are also great as a little snack in my bag, for work tomorrow I have put a small handful of the beans in a reseal bag so I can crunch my way through them on my break. Fikir was kind enough to send me a few bits for the kitchen too, the ramekins were a lovely touch & will be great for when I make homemade mousses & desserts. & The oven mitt is just adorable, at first glance I thought it was going to be a baking mold but I'm so impressed with my new kitchen toy! Finally in my bag I also received some great jars of marinade pastes & a couple of lindt chocolates (there were 3 but I sneakily eat 1 at work before I got a chance to photograph the contents) The pastes look great, I'm always looking for new flavours & ways to inject a little more life into meat & veg. I think I'm most excited about the Brittle and the Jerk paste, Fikir kindly wrote down a few recipe ideas and the instructions on how to make my own nut brittle! So I can't wait to get stuck into some new ideas for snacks & meals.
