What a fun event this is and we get to know so many new things.
Maybe you can use your rose jam on Mahalebi as we call it in Cyprus, (in Lebanese I think it is called Mouhallabieh) and it is a creme I usually serve with rose cordial. I think a rose panna cotta would also be great.

Ha so Roberto likes turkey legs too! There is not a doubt in my mind that we would have a blast hanging out together.

I’m happy you are getting such interesting gifts from your blogger bud. Foreign food is always so cool, and it goes to show that Farmers Markets are treasures worldwide

What a great exchange!! I am not familiar with a lot of those products – it would be a lot of fun for me to go through!

I’m so happy for you. Getting surprises in the mail is always so much fun. Norwegian food..sounds tempting. I have two extra author copies of the Aprovecho cookbook that I could give away. Tell me what I’m supposed to do (and how) and I’ll get this out. Sounds like fun.

Were you affected by the tornado that went through in Florida? I hope not. It sounded terrible.

Well aren’t you sweet for making such a long and nice post about the exchange…

My round-up should be up on my site within the next week, just waiting for everyone to still receive their packages.

As for the rose gel, my first thought was scones. But nothing with a really distinct flavor, because the gel is pretty subtle and you want that to shine through rather than be overpowered by something like ginger or chocolate. I do like the idea of melting it into milk, though. Late night snack???

My very curious (and rather observant) eyes are wondering if that original Freya bar wasn’t already busted into and devoured before you got around to shooting your goodies. Hmm….wouldn’t blame you for not waiting.

Your exchange buddy, Siri
