Best thing to come home from work on a Monday to? Your condiments gift exchange package.

My match actually read my profile and sent me stuff I actually like :) EVEN taking into account MY geographic location. I'm very impressed!

Unfortunately, there was one casualty...the Stone Ruination IPA Curry Mustard grilling sauce did not survive the cross-country trip :( I'm really bummed about this because it smells AMAZING, but alas, I didn't want to eat glass....thank heavens for ziplock bags.

My favorite of the survivors (not including the syrup...I'll be making waffles this weekend for sure), going off of a straight up sauce-taste test, is the Balsamic BBQ sauce. I want to use it to make some sort of an awesome twist on bruschetta...

The korean sauce is super tasty. It has a hint of teriyaki, but with many more complex undertones. I want to say it has an "earthier" flavor to it, but that's such a "hipster" thing to say....so I'm passive aggressively saying it in hopes to avoid being "that" person.

I may go to the store tonight to buy some ribs and have a much fancier Monday dinner than I usually do. The Dinosaur BBQ is calling my name. Closest thing to a family recipe I've tasted that comes from a bottle.

Now I need to figure out how to keep a regular supply of some of these things...haha maybe a trip to NY is in my future.

Thank you, secret santa!
