My Surprise Parcel from EBBP #6
“Ding Dongggg…”
Ah-ha! “C’est sûrement un colis pour moi!” I yelled out to Ben and dashed to the door to greet Mr Postman at 7am this morning.
True enough.
The package was a bit banged up and looked like something I would have ordered from Amazon… it even had a white envelope attached and a ticket description that said “books”. Except that I didn’t order any books. *nudge nudge* *wink wink*
I’m very pleased to receive my surprise package from one of the few men food bloggers, Bill Roberts from “Bill Please”. I received 5 things in my package, all of which I’ve never had before.
I’ve always liked the internet for speed of communication and elimination of boundaries but also feared that e-lectronic everything would cut off human contact and the sense of “realness”. So, it’s nice to receive a package put together by someone miles and miles away whom I’ve never met. Without reading too much into things, I get a sense of what Bill likes and he seems like a thoughtful person.
Thanks also to Johanna, The Passionate Cook for making this connection happen.

Thanks for your comment!
This was my first time participating in the parcel exchange... and it was a good way to "travel" and taste some of the foods from other countries... hopefully my schedule will allow me to participate also in January (ski season!)... I might just send something from the Alps. :-)
