As you can see, I couldn't even wait for something to spread the delicious homemade chestnut jam she made for me. It's delicious - so vanilla-y. And, because we both are vanilla fans, she sent me a bottle of William Sonoma's Vanilla Syrup - won't that be awesome spooned over some vanilla ice cream or poached pears?!
Not only did I get packages of chestnuts so I can make her awesome sounding Chestnut & Bacon Risotto with Savoy Cabbage. I'm saving that for when my daughter comes to town this weekend - she loves risotto, plus she loves bacon but won't cook it at home.
I love curries - how did she know!?! And now I have a new curry mix to try out a box of Kokumaro curry mix with a recipe on the back to boot!
And last, but definitely not least, the cutest stand, small enough to fit on my miniscule counter and deep enough to hold a big cookbook. Now maybe my recipes won't be so icky when I'm done.
All in all - it's been a great morning. Thanks so much for your thoughtful package!!!

It looks wonderful! But who was it from?
Wooo, good score Ruth! Hope you'll write about that curry when you make it.
Brilynn, I actually did mention that it was from Orange Souffle, but thanks for pointing out how obscure it was...I fixed it so everyone can see.
