GOODIES BAG

[Katiej]

Hi Geoff !
Nice to see you back at home

[Amy :-)]

Thanks for modelling the mug hug Geoff! Its so good to see you at home

As you can see from Judy's photo, you wrap the mug hug around your mug and fasten it with a button. Most of the buttons I used were little teapots, but I used some love hearts as well. The idea is that it keeps your drink hot and stops you burning your hands. And it looks pretty of course

I just thought they would be cute, and I could make a different one for each person

great idea Amy and great to see Geoff home and looking happy.

I made the lightly spiced and slightly sweet nuts   They are in a ramekin which can be re-used and is oven and dishwasher safe. When I get my act together I will post the recipe - I have never posted before!

Whoever made the rocky road, it was very, very nice.

Cookie & CP, love your recipe books - more for my TMX collection.  Have not done any of your recipes Cookie so a whole heap of new things to try.  Very spoilt to get a copy of CP's favourite recipes so far - what a big job that was.
Had one of your cherry bites DD, delicious - can't wait to see what you changed in the original recipe.
ES - the frangipane is my favourite flower.  Now I will have to make something to show them off.  Interested to hear how long they will last too.
Gretchen, vanilla beans always handy to have, thank you.  Looks like you are spending some time in bed to recover from your re-retreat illness.  I hope you can shake it off before your catwalk debut on Saturday.
Chookie & Ral - picked your presents without having to be told who they were from.  Great ideas for the goodie bags.
The Myer gift - wow, how cool was that!
Helene, well what can one say about your contribution.  We've read about them and now we've all seen and love them.  
Tenina, lovely little goodie bag within the goodie bag and one only has to look up a recipe in your FFS book or visit your website to find a recipe which uses them.
Mmse, just tried your lovely nuts - great combination of spices and sweetness, different to anything I've tried before.  Well done you for getting your gift together at such short notice.
Gill, loved the card.  There is nothing like a hand-made card to send to a special friend.
Michele, your dukkah is the best one I have tasted (not too heavy on middle eastern spices) and I'll try it on scrambled eggs and chicken.
Nazar, I always carry a packet of those tissues around in my handbag and pens, well I love pens as a lot of my friends will tell you. If someone goes on a holiday and brings me back a pen, I get very excited.  Your gifts suited me right down to the ground.
Cecilia, I believe the CD was your contribution and I finally got around to playing it this morning.  I am not into that type of music but I did enjoy a few numbers and think it was a great goodie bag gift.


More comments as people identify their gift.

If someone would kindly post a pic of the dukkah, I would be grateful. I didn't make myself one.
There is a photo on Tenina's facebook page, apparently she had it for lunch yesterday.

[SueJen]

Mmitch, had your dukkah on scrambled eggs on Sunday morning, all loved it.

Gert,  love your new Avatar.!!!!

I may be sticking my neck out here but I want to tell you my very favourite goodie bag item. This will never be replicated and is unique. It might be best if we do not reveal the clever,  generous giver with a wonderful sense of humour
