Hello All,
I decided to do something a little bit different with an awesome package that arrived today from @Proser. Check out the video below to see all the cool stuff he sent me from the great state of Texas!

One thing to note; I'm still getting used to my new GoPro and I did not use an external mic, so the audio is pretty soft. You may need to turn the volume up; I promise there's nothing terribly loud and no 'gotchas'. There's some background noise as well; apologies for that, still learning...

Enjoy guys, and huge thanks again to @cazzy for a really fun exchange and @Proser for some really fun stuff!

Cheers All -

Ok sent out a hefty package of treats today. Just one problem I forgot to put my letter in the box. Sumbofabit@h! Any way if you receive a usps box that looks like it's ready to explode it from me. Illinois/wisconsin care package. Was nice to get out on Harley this weekend cruzing around picking stuff up. You'll know buy the illinois shipping address on the label. Dam rookie.

@Lmidkiff sent me some of those cookies last year. Man, those things are awful. You should box them back up and send them to me so I can get rid of them for you.

No way. They were the first thing opened. And they are amazing!!!

Ok. It's been a year and a half and I'm a newbie. I get it. Learning a lot. All the time. Didn't do the exchange last year. Was too green and didn't want to eff it up. 

Today, when my box arrived with a note from Chris @Black_Badger, I learned  how to do the exchange the right way. The Wisconsin goodies would have been enough. But the explanatory video at tinyurl.com/q5stkzx blew me away. Not only did he tell me about the sauces, rubs and mustard (!!!), but he also paired them to the cooks I posted over the last 18 months. Amazing gift.  Kinda humbled by it. But that could be the beer talking. 

Cheers!!

Glad you received it. Enjoy! BTW the vanilla wafers make an amazing banana pudding.

I thought I did good. But you guys crushed me.  Not to say my gift was sub par.  Just not spectacular.  Booze and a brisket.  I can't  hang........this year.

@Black_Badger, I am watching your video and DAMN that's a lot of stuff.  @Proser, do you own rub and sauce shop, that's a lot of stuff.  You are very generous.  Awesome jobs everyone, I am glad I got involved this year in the exchange.

Proser

@Black_Badger that was a great way to showcase your shipment,  It was fun buying stuff I don't usually use. Keep me posted on how it works out.

HendersonTRKing

@Black_Badger -- Watched the video you prepared for me 3x last night and again this morning after the booze wore off.  It's still awesome.  You totally rocked this gift exchange and have set a high bar for me for next year.  

Here are the links to your work, if anyone wants to see how to absolutely slay it:

tinyurl.com/q5stkzx

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rkcECIKffY&feature=youtu.be

(And, fwiw:  (1) The handle "HendersonTRKing" is Henderson The Rain King, after a fictional character in a novel . . . which begs the question in another post about changing your forum name and (2) that is me with the giant tabasco bottle, in a shot taken at NOLA Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2014.)

Will be posting some cooks with your stuff in use, with a tip of the hat to you of course.

Black_Badger

Thanks Rain King;haha, now I feel like a goof for making that assumption! The whole process has been really fun and I hope you genuinely enjoy the selections.

I also wanted to post a picture of the package I received from @Proser, because it is an impressive haul! Very generous; thanks again! I know some of you guys won't be down for movie watching (especially with rookie sound quality).

Cheers all -

@Black_Badger totally killed it!  Way to research and get to know your draw.   Fantastic job!!

ChillyWillis

My package just shipped out today. It should be arriving in Kentucky this Friday. 

cazzy
