I'd love to know where/how as I have friends and family in your area.
Thanks!

GATraveller, lkapigian,  I do not ship from my store Pasta Time in Bethpage Long Island New York. When ever you want some just sent me a message and ill get some out to you. I make a new batch every 30-35 days or so the ones I sent you were just over 35 days old. I use no preservatives so if your going to hold them for a while just let them sit in an oil bath so they don't turn or get rock hard.

My god did you hear that? ..........

Oh no Ive said to much already and my grandfather is turning in his grave.


Gotta go!!!!

Well look at @evie1370 from Cinci! 

My wife came walking in with this box and said, "Dang this box is HEAVY!"

Some awesome selections in here I have yet to try. (I say that as I sit here at my desk systematically opening them up and sticking my finger in to try BBQ sauces).

I got a laugh out of the Lynchburg sauce. I have one of theirs going out to my Elf. It's made an hour from where I live. They make great stuff. 

Thanks again, Claire! I don’t think that salami is going to make it very long in that kitchen. 

(And I got a good laugh out of the chili. That stuff has a cult following up there!)

Nice haul you got there!

Glad you got it! Hope you enjoy. Let me know how you like the rubs, the Bubba Rub is something i have not tried yet. And thanks for posting, I got a big kick out of it!

mlc2013

evie1370; great job on your elfin thats a lot of great goodies. I just wanted to let you know I picked up some of bubbas rub last time I was in ohio and I think there great, but I think most food is great so I guess im not the best judge. I wouldn't be afraid to try it and get some for your own kitchen

Wow did I come home to a surprise!!!  A huge thanks to blind99 for setting up this exchange and for also participating in the newbie thread. I really lucked out. I can’t wait to get into some of this stuff. Thank you again. 

mlc2013

Great looking box. Ben did you right

lkapigian

@mlc2013 the rub is amazing!! Is that course sugar? 

blind99

@jwc6160 thank you very much! Box arrived tonight all intact. I haven’t had a single one of these, and all look fantastic - you certainly come from a town with a great BBQ pedigree!



I can’t believe you found a hot sauce with a picture of me on the label....

Be careful with that "Night if the Living BBQ Sauce" it starts out sweet then your mouth is on fire.

Haha. Yours are so welcome. So, since I’m a newbie to this and forgot to put any info in the box, here you go. 

Meat Mitch- this is probably my current favorite sauce. If you watched the World Series when the Royals were in it a couple years ago they consistently had George Brett on and whenever BBQ came up (a lot) he mentioned Meat Mitch. They are friends and the sauce in your box is delicious. They are opening up a place some time soon. 

LCs- this is a local favorite spot that is very.....old school. 

Roasterie- a local coffee place that makes some rubs and sauces. I’ve never used this particular rub. 

Cowtown- this is all KC Joes (Oklahoma). This is great stuff. KC Joes is the best Bbq in KC and that rub is a great “everything” rub. The sauce is a great spicy sauce I use a lot. 

Grinders- this is a local pizza/sandwich place that really got a boost several years ago when features on Diners Drive Inns and Dives. It’s a pretty good local joint and I thought it would be fun to throw something a little different in the box. 

Thanks again. This was a lot of fun and I look forward to doing it again. I hope you enjoy.

I dont know who you are,
I dont know what you want,
If your looking for ransom I dont have any money, but what I do have I have a very particular set of skills, skills Ive acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you tell me who your are now that would be the end of it! I will not look for you I will not pursue you, but if you dont, I will look for you, I WILL FIND YOU and I will HUG you. Or slap you with a Dry Sausage.

It ain’t me. 

mlc2013

jeffwit GA isn't that far from TN so your still on my list now I have to figure out if someone else shipped box or if the culprit lives or works or visited TN last week

Kent8621

I am out of town for work, I have my wife checking 6-7 times a day for a package, she is just taking care of our toddlers she should have time right?  I let my person know it was going to be late and apologized but in due time it will be sent.

Wow you have worked hard to try to figure this out- impressive ‘set of skills’ . I want you on my team and sure would not want to cross you!  Last year I forgot to identify myself in the box I sent- but and you probably already know that...  I didn’t forget this year.

According to tracking, the gift I sent arrived yesterday. But it wasn’t to you mlc2013. Post a sausage reward and someone will drop him off on your porch hogtied.

Lol I know who sent your package.  I think you need to read the announcement thread again!!  BTW...great package you out together.

cazzy

Great job so far guys!!  Love reading and seeing the packages y'all put together. 

It was hard letting go of the exchange, because it brought me a lot of joy running it!  I will say though... I couldn't have picked a better couple of Eggheads to transition it over to.  Thanks again @blind99 and @northGAcock !!  Great job guys!

mlc2013

patience is a virtue and ill strike soon enough!!

cazzy, Thanks for the compliment and I have read the announcement thread 3 times looking for clues and apparently Im just not catching it YET, but i will mark my words I will.

Gulfcoastguy I hope you put some of your recent catch in the box you shipped

@northGAcock + @blind99 ; Thats again Im real glad I joined this group of misfits ie. eggheads. You guys are doing a great job and I love this exchange. I already know what im doing for next year so if you guys need any help please let me know.
