Oh, Thank God it got there! I was sitting on pins and needles. I am glad you guys liked it, Kate. I am also glad everything got there safely. I will definitely try and mail earlier next time. I didn't realize everybody would get theirs sent out so fast. Lisa

What a wonderful box. The cocktail sauce sounds wonderful. I can't help but picture Maria (even though I have never seen her) shopping happily for everything and then life changed in a blink of an eye. I too have been thinking of her and her late husband. Susie, I hope you do get to visit some of those seafood shacks. Sounds like fun.

Silvia you are right. It is a good way to learn more about members of our wonderful Cooking Forum family. I've enjoyed reading the comments that everyone has been posting to the follow up posts . It is great to see so many of the participants posting to each thread as a swap box is received. Also, it was nice to have some of our newer members participate. Hopefully you will all participate in the Summer Swap. ~Ann
