    @JohnnyMac man I thought I put a note in there. It was a little notepad piece of paper I slipped in there after I had it all packed up. I dont know what happened to it. My apologies. I hope you enjoy the stuff. Arkansas aint exactly known for bbq but I tried to grab all local stuff. The strawberrys rub is from mizzou but available here. Its a great all purpose rub. Please let me know how you like the other stuff. I kinda like the mcclards sauce. Its a little sweet and spicy.

    Oakridge is the bomb...you'll love it!
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    This is the awesome package I got from @SkinnyV. I love spicy things mustard and beer and he included all those. One of the bags is a ghost pepper salt. I also realized the bacon jam isn't in the pic. I had to put it in the fridge after opening.

    You are going to love that Pike stout mustard. It's some tasty stuff. The beer is pretty good too!

    Dizzy Pig and Oakridge are great, normally what I use. I've tried a few others, but come back to them. Still need to try Meat Church, just want to use what I have first.

    After a long day at work with some customer audits, I wanted to get home and relax and forget about work. To my surprise, there was a box waiting for me. Perfect timing after a long day and long week.

    Thanks @jabam you picked a lot of great products that I would've bought myself if I was in CA. You went way above and beyond.

    My girlfriend has already claimed the metal tins.

    @HendersonTRKing I just cooked some boneless pork chop with the Janssen's Market Peach Grilling sauce I received from you in the exchange, amazingly good stuff!  I cooked it for lunch in between a brisket I'm making for dinner. Thanks again!!

    It looks like the gift exchange was a overwhelming success. Lots of great gifts given this year.  I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did and that even more members will participate next year. Everyone did a fantastic job.

    Ya... what do I know.  I took Elfster at it's word when it sent me a message saying that I'd been "paired up" with someone.  So I figured I'd be getting from he who I gave to. Didn't know it was a trilateral kinda thing till later.

    Either way I'm sure it woulda worked out fine... different (hummm, much different)....but fine. =)

    All my stuff is off.  As usual, I rushed to get things off and forgot my letter.  Oh well...

    So as you can see by the comment above, @UncleFred was my elf and I'm very glad he was.  Before the exchange started I got lots of questions about what I liked, my sports loyalties, my beverage likes etc.  Too bad that I wasn't home to answer any of them.  Also, I feel bad for UncleFred for having to deal with customs, cross border shipping etc.  But, he'll be happy to know I had my own pains sending to my Elf who I hope is receiving his or her package fairly soon.  

    So as you can see below, I made out like a bandit on this year's exchange.  Most exciting thing is actually the grape and pear chunks.  Can't wait to try them on some chicken as recommended for the pear and if I can track down a tri-tip, I'll try the grape.  I did NOT open the picture that was sent with the emails as I preferred to wait for the surprise.  So, below is the picture I took today of everything.  Not the worlds greatest camera on my phone.  I thought the bottle of "California Sunshine" was very cute.  Thing is, sunshine isn't really a shortage here in February, heat is the issue.  So I hope the Famous Dave's sauce is spicy enough to keep us warm too.

    Everything arrived perfectly safe thanks to the incredible compartmentalized styrofoam holder that was included (which I will be keeping for shipping beer).  The inclusion of a couple local beer was also great and I'm glad that neither the beer or the wood chips caused any sort of international incident at the border.

    I'm running late. But I got my awesome package and now have sent mine out!!  I'll get some pics tonight. My pack was sauce heavy. It'll take me all year to sample all the great sauces.
