And oh, but wait there’s more… and THEN at the end of class last night, Stacey shows up with this OREO treat from Argentina!!! Layers AND dipped in fudge!!! Tasty… but I still LOVED The Most Stuf more!!!

So I thought my OREOs from Germany would be a hit with my pottery class last night…
and they were… UNTIL Katie showed up with these!!!
Some thought it was too much…
but those of us with the palate of a four-year-old LOVED THEM!!! More is more!!!



When in Germany, shop for OREOs right?
My most “important” souvenir to share with my pottery class tonight.


Including these “new-to-me” OREO Joy-Fills which look like
little crunchy nuggets of yumminess!!!



All over Frankfurt there are open markets & beautiful displays of food. Beautiful AND yummy!!!







Tons of breads, cheeses, sausages, sandwiches, olives, chocolates and so much more…
including possibly the biggest sausage EVER!!!



This week in my Tuesday night pottery class, we were treated with even MORE OREO’s!!!
This time with three new flavors “imported†from Thailand.
Thanks Kate for making class just a little “sweeter.”




And oh, but wait there’s more!!
My students came into class tonight with about fourteen packages of OREOs!!!
Including this flavor I had never seen?! THEY ROCK!!!…
and we now have plenty of OREOs for the next couple weeks!!!

Tonight we start a new session of pottery classes.
And what better way to kick it off than with some NEW OREO flavors?!!!

So I received a holiday gift package in the mail that was set by my front door.
When I picked it up, I heard tell-tale sounds of things rattling, possibly broken,
but not quite like shards of pottery. I was intrigued… and concerned.
When I opened the box, I found it was a couple tins of treats from my cousins in Minnesota.
Apparently one of the tins opened while traveling & spilled all over the inside of the box.
No tape. No rubber bands. Just tins that were closed once upon a time.

Needless to say, I scooped the ChexMix back into the tin…
and promptly ate it ALL for lunch!!!
Thanks Michael & Anna for the tasty holiday treats… mixed-up or not!!!
HOLIDAY GREETINGS from my good friends in Goodfield, Illinois…
who celebrated with some holiday bread served on a stamped platter
making their day more festive and their bread more tasty!!! Just guessing.
Thanks Keith & Julie for sharing your holiday photo!
