Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

Wow - fabulous tastes from Alabama!! My gifts also came from Alabama - they certainly eat well down there!!! The photo of Wickles made my mouth water - I think I need to find a jar of those! Happy you enjoyed the swap!
ReplyDeleteYes, this was a blast! I loved shopping for it, and I loved receiving and tasting it too! Alabama is great!
DeleteWhat a lovely gift Ricki sent from Alabama. I can see why you gobbled down some of those goodies. I received the very same cheese biscuit mix. Wickles sounds great, such a cute name. Love this idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, Ricki Jill certainly has a lots of my favorites in your box. Wickle Pickles are hard to stop eating and so is the peanut brittle. Those cheese biscuits are so good piping hot out of the oven. We sure would love to see you come to our happy state! Yes, this was a lot of fun seeing what everyone included in their gift swap boxes. Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend sweet friend.........
ReplyDeleteJackie, I'm craving some peanut brittle! I could eat the entire bag! Wickles Pickle Relish is a staple in our refrigerator. I didn't realize it was from AL. We love biscuits and gravy here as well, and my guy loves grits. Ricky Jill sent a wonderful package of treats. I have to agree. This swap was great fun!
ReplyDeleteYou girls are making me hungry! My office mate makes us peanut brittle every Christmas! This swap was a blast! One of these days, I am going to visit Alabama. Great job Ricki Jill!
ReplyDeleteGreat box of goodies, Jackie! Little did I know Wickles hail from AL...we can get those at our local Boar's Head Deli and yes, they are wickedly good and addictive. All of those things look yummy. I think biscuits and gravy must be universal....but I did find there's a regional line somewhere in PA that I couldn't get them when we were traveling north. When I asked for it, the lady looked at me like I had three heads, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's unanimous....the swap was a blast!
They are made in Dadeville, Alabama, close to our lake cabin. Dadeville is a tiny little town!
DeleteRicki Jill sent you some great stuff! I sent Linda the Jim & Nick's biscuit mix too, it's one of my favorites! And good ole Wickles! Alabama is such a beautiful place to live and Southerners know how to feed you!! This swap was incredible fun! I can't wait to see what you sent my neighbor Ricki Jill!

Looks like a great box of goodies from Alabama ,which is also my home state. You illustrated them well in photos.
ReplyDeleteAw, Jackie, I'm so glad you're enjoying your goodies! The Wickles are truly the best. And I did get to the bottom of the Mystery of the Pickle Fork. Stay tuned! ;P
ReplyDeleteMy post will be live at 4:00 AM PDT tomorrow.
What fabulous gifts you received from Ricki Jill!! You were certainly spoiled with all those goodies, Jacqueline.
ReplyDeleteRicki sent some great gifts from my home state. McEwen grits are a staple at our house and we love the mix from Jim ‘N Nicks! I have enjoyed reading what you ladies sent each other.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I think those girls in Alabama have the most interesting foods with such clever names, which I agree make them even more enticing! Your photo of that Wickles pickle made me drool. I love pickles! And your biscuits and gravy would be perfect for a snowy Christmas morning or a cold evening by the fire. This was indeed fun and I am going over to see the goodies you sent to RJ!
