I've been here right at 10 years now. Somehow along the way by, some inexplicable miracle, I've managed to make some really good friends here. I have an ongoing, unofficial, and informal gift exchange going with quite a few people. Nothing is ever discussed in advance or specific agreements made. It just happens. I see something or read about something a person may need or I think they might like, I get it and ship it off to them. It may be 4, 6, or 8 months later, that person will see something they think I'd like and it just shows up on my doorstep. Ya just never know when Christmas is gonna happen and it's a ton of fun. Well, it's no secret that I've sent our good friend

a few goodies for he and Judy to enjoy. Turns out that they came upon an idea to send me something and my Christmas was yesterday. They sent a truly amazing array of fresh baked goodies that they put together and it totally blew mew away when I got everything unpacked. The aroma filled the kitchen to the point I swear it was like standing in the bakery while the stuff was coming out of the ovens. The salivary glands went into overdrive and I knew I had to do something....and do it right now!!
The goodies unpacked and sorted out.
Here is the letter that was included so I'd know and understand what everything was. Ya gotta read it to know what all this incredible stuff is
Those bagels were literally screaming at me so decided to have a love affair with one of them. Made a bacon, egg, and double cheese bagel sandwich. The bacon was oak smoked and the last of that batch. Need to get more of that going BTW. No dialog here. Y'all can figure it out
What a fantastic breakfast. You ain't gonna get that at Einstein Brothers, I can promise you that The thoughtfulness, consideration, and generosity of the people in this forum is beyond belief. It has been truly an honor to be part of the SMF family and this package means more than most folks could ever imagine. See....I've tried and tried my hand at baking and it just ain't happening. Some folks have it, I don't. The only thing I've ever managed to make in all my attempts at baking is a huge mess. For somebody to have skills like this and share them with me is incomprehensible....and appreciated more than I can ever express. Thanks to all my fiends here but especially to Al and even more so to Judy who put all the effort into this. What an unbelievable gesture!!
I'm done. Gotta go slice some bread and get dinner going. Making gyros on homemade pita bread Thanks for hanging in there if you made it all the way to the end.
