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!!!!

@mlc2013 , one of the guys I work with was from Bethpage, did not know that until today, his dad still goes there a couple times a year

@lkapigian that's some great looking skirt steak- makes me hungry!

That’s not his cook it was HendersonTRKing

Yup! but thanks!

It was a feast, starring the AlbuKerky Green Chile Rub @Gulfcoastguy sent me.  The Prince made the sauce -- something with mayo, sour cream and a bunch of roasted hatch chiles my nephew (from Albuquerque) roasted a few weeks ago.  We added sweet hot jalepenos, pepper jack cheese and a grilled club roll.  Perfect steak sammy for Sunday Funday dinner.  Wishing I brought one in to work today!

Might have to send a second box after seeing what’s been sent so far. 

Definitely not.  People send what they want, and we're grateful to get new stuff to try.  

After @mlc2013's fun, next year we may add a stealth elf with bonus points for correctly identifying them.  

I'm super psyched to see completely new members making a strong showing in the Noob exchange. (@jwc6160 I already used one of the rubs and sauces on wings last night, my kids destroyed them!)

That’s great. I’m glad they liked it.

I think the Usps flat rate is pretty reasonable. 

There was no way I was getting this box done with flat rate

Ima_good_egg

Then I do understand your wanting cheaper shipping.

I have a box sitting at my back door. Pulled up a livestream from the garage cam so that I can stare at it all day

Great looking boxes so far. Can't believe @Gulfcoastguy got all that to fit in one box.

I am a Mississippi State University Civil Engineer. Our hobbies are building bridges out toothpicks and canoes out of concrete. It was just a matter of placing the plastic rub bottles so that they protected the glass sauce bottles and nothing had room to move. In fact I added the bottle of hot sauce to fill in a vertical hole. Beats packing peanuts.

Do you build concrete and cardboard canoes too?

A bit of a joke, the school chapter of the national association participates in a contest to build canoes out of concrete , usually reinforced by some variety of mesh. They also sponsor contest with public schools to build model bridges that are judged by how much weight they can hold. I've been out of school , well over 30 years. I just help with Math Counts contests now.

Blown fhe F away by @Gulfcoastguy. Amazing box of local Mississippi rubs and sauces. And he figured out that I’ve got a serious Louisiana thing and packed in some regional treats as well. Mississippi goodies with a Cajun influence — all things we can’t get in The 302, so I’m completely payched. 

Amazing stuff here:



I used the AlbuKirky Green Chile Rub tonight on some skirt steak. That stuff rocks. Never had it before and appreciate the share from out of his own region. 



And, the letter with the descriptions of all the goodness was a treat to read. Lots of thought put into this box. A tribute to @Gulfcoastguy and what’s best about the forum. 

Nice score there. Way to wade right into them also.

Many thanks to @booksw for the awesome package from Charleston SC.  This is very much appreciated, and the only thing I have tried is the SoyVay Teriyaki, and can say that we love that stuff.  My family has thoroughly enjoyed the "extras" you included from the farmers market.  Let me just say that the cheese zingers didn't last long- those things are crazy good- I could hurt myself on those!  Thank you very much for your generous and thoughtful surprise.

Ha....they go at their own risk in those Tennessee parts. Hope they return.

The package I sent was delivered to the front porch of my guy on Friday as well.  Haven't heard back from him yet.  Hopefully someone grabbed the package for him and got it out of the Texas heat over the weekend!

They will gladly give their life for me. But not before my message is delivered

I better go check my mailbox then.  My lazy a** mailman hopefully brings it to my door.  We have a community mailbox on our cul de sac. It was only 107 and 108 Saturday and Sunday.  What could possibly spoil in those temps.

Finally got home to the package that was waiting for me! Busted it open and found a great assortment from @dsrguns. I might have let out a "YEAH" when I saw the jerk marinade. I've been dying to try it.

I just finished off a bottle of Cowlick and I'm running low on the Yardbird so great choices! The others I have not had and can't wait to get in them.

Thank you!

Lots of nice boxes out there so far. The anticipation is killing me!  Finally got mine out the door. 
Thanks to @cazzy and @blind99 for the tradition and work that goes in to this. I think there was another member who was helping out but I can’t seem to remember who that was. Thanks to that anonymous member as well. The effort is appreciated!  

Hook_emHornsfan_74

Just checked. My package was delivered today.  Hope I sent it to the right person. lol 

BuzzinBoca

This is a lot of fun.  Thanks @blind99 and @cazzy for making it happen.  I'm stoked to show off my loot from @ENC_BBQ.  You sent a great assortment. 
I would have an egg cooking something with one of your recommendations right now if mother nature was more cooperative.  Instead I sampled some sawse on yesterday's grilled chicken.  It's good for sure.   Thank you fellow noob.  I'm looking forward to trying it all.

Glad to see it made it in one piece, I was a little nervous. The weather also put a damper on me sampling the goods. I will let you know when I do.

Hooray!!  I am so glad you got it!  I know the soy vey isn’t local but I use it all the time I have to include it when I write about what I do.  HOnestly mostly I just use salt and pepper and maybe some olive (or lately avocado) oil.  Or my local Buster’s Rub- enjoy every bit of it!!

I’m happy to say that I received my package today from @YettiLuke and everything arrived safe and sound! Lots of glass in that box...a fantastic packing job. I promise to pack better next year!
With the exception of the Lawry”s, every item in the box is new to me. We are thrilled! My dad was born and raised in Kentucky so getting a box from that state is pretty special. 
So thank you for all the great new choices. I’m glad you guys had fun putting it together! This thing was a blast...

blind99

Bourbon barrel aged Worcestershire? Good god man that sounds great! Very cool. 

YettiLuke

@gonepostal I am glad everything made it intact! There were a few thing in there that I had not tried myself, but I am pretty exited to try them along with the things that you sent me.
