| Wow! Mustangs had my number... between intuition and research she got me exactly right!! I LOVE what I got. Sorry I wasn't able to post last night... but, I got home very late last night, and saw a box sitting on the doorstep. Oooh! ooh! oooh! Must be my swap!! Oh, boy! a package for me... with Sunshine from sunny florida!! and a red message Send me to Bizzo fast !!
Thanks Cathy for planning to have everything arrive after I got back from Virginia / DC!
Ok, First-
Your Choice:
A box grater!!!
on one of my earlier posts I noted that I wanted one... and yesterday my hand grater handle bit the dust... so this is awesome. And a Kitchen Aid one, at that. I can't wait to use it!! (maybe tonight??)
The next was-
Paper/textiles:
And it's an incredibly beautiful Mediterranean cookbook, with the perfect subtitle: A taste of the sun in over 150 recipes
And the inside is BEAUTIFUL, too!!
Like many CFers, Mustangs included, I love to read cookbooks like novels, and this one is perfect for reading (I'll use it, too, I know!) As Mustangs said it highlights places she has been and places she hopes to visit. One of the other thing I like read like novels are travel guides... and this gives me a taste of both worlds. YAY!
And the piece de resistance!!
Pottery/Glass/Metal:
Angled Beehive Bowls
Mustangs, you picked something that fits my taste so well!! I'm glad you didn't keep them for yourself ;-D
The product description is awesome (and so were your comments, Cathy!! I never considered calling myself heavy gauge, but I think it's true!)
- Angled design creates elegant presentation
- Double wall construction provides insulation
- Maintains food at proper temperature hot or cold
- Heavy guage 18-8 mirror finish stainless steel
And of course, she snuck in some packing material:
 
(I love these, too... and won't be using it for packing!)
And here's everything together!! What a swap!

| Great package. The book looks fantastic, and I really like those bowls, especially the fact that they are angled! Box graters are always handy and so easy to use. Love the packing material too! Great job Cathy! Shelley |

| I'll say!! Awesome is right. Cathy really knows how to put together the perfect swap box. (although she does have trouble counting). I have a box grater that gets used regularly, and I love the bowls. And Mediterranean cooking is a favourite. I'll bet there are some wonderful recipes in that book. Enjoy Bizzo. Ann |

| Now those are very unique, cool and useful bowls, that's a great find, Cathy! I also use a box grater regularly, some things the microplanes are good for, other things they aren't. Those need a box grater! I'll be watching for recipes from that book, Mediterranean cooking is healthy, delicious and beautiful. Packing material? LOL Annie |

| Oh those bowls are way cool...I need those, seriously its a need not a want! Great parcel Cathy , lucky lady bizzo! |

| Funny Terri--I wondered where that towel went! I'm really glad that you like what I sent and your swap complete report is appreciated. I had a number of false starts but I hope it all works for you. I wouldn't have gotten that brand of grater except as I told you, my highly rated box grater cracked then the replacement one the company sent cracked also. BTW, I also misplaced a bag clip--the kind I really like--I hope it didn't end up in your box too. |
RE: WANTED: awesome!!!

| Oh I love it all especially the bowls. Cathy, I can understand how you would want to keep the bowls for yourself. They are fantastic! Bizzo, Enjoy! I can't wait to see what you cook out of your new cookbook! |
RE: WANTED: awesome!!!

| Every kitchen needs a good box grater and the cookbook looks like a good read with some great recipes. Now, those bowls are flippin" amazing...I love them and have never seen anything like them. Leave it to Cathy to come up with another perfect swap box. Enjoy it all Bizzo! David
(I want that towel too) |

| I really like the tomato bag/wall hanging! I'd like to see the box grater fully unwrapped - I can't see the holes for grating with the cardboard on. How perfect that you got what you really needed! I also love Mediterranean food - how can you go wrong with that?! I look forward to seeing the bowls in use. Lars |
