My dear friend Genie just got back from Paris and says she has something for me. I know it's something edible because she said she's leaving it up to me to experiment and to let her know how it tastes.

I'm excited to finally see what she's sending me. Something from afar always gets me all giddy. When I'm overseas I also have a grand time thinking of what foodstuff to bring home. So far I've taken home large, sweet and juicy plums, fantastic olive oil, shrimp paste, some fabulous praline, freshly picked dates, Nuts galore and lots more! But what made my cousins laugh out loud was when they saw several packs of gummi bears from Bonn. Hehehe! One of these days, I might just talk about those.
