I am having such a shitty week at work, working unusually longer hours and full of stress, so it was truly a pleasant surprise to come home to a package that I completely forgot to be expecting!

My Secret Santa had previously messaged me letting me know that he would be delivering snacks, and BOY DID HE DELIVER. I am beyond ecstatic to try all of them out, because I'll be honest with you, I think Aunt Flo is on her way. I actually wouldn't mind eating everything now, but I promised that I would share with my boyfriend.

I Googled what some of the snacks were, because as far as I know, I don't know a lick of Austrian German (from left to right):

Firn von Englhofer - peppermint bonbons with a crunchy chocolate core omfg Mozartkugel - sugar confection with a pistachio core, nougat and marzipan filling, all covered in dark chocolate omfg Milka - already know what this is, and it is friggin' delicious chocolate. I'm usually not a chocolate person (as in, I do not prefer to eat a chocolate bar that has nothing else in it), but Milka is one of the brands that I can rip right through GIANT MANNER WAFERS - THIS IS SO BIG AND I'M SO EXCITED AND I LOVE THESE WAFERS AND OMFG Almdudler - Grape and apple juice flavored soda with herbal extracts god bless your soul

Alright, I'm drooling and I pretty much don't want to share with my boyfriend at this point.

My Secret Santa also included an adorable hand-made recipe book, with a hand watercolored front page of the map of Austria with its flag embedded in the silhouette! The book had a few Austrian recipes, both sweet and savory! It also contained a fun facts page, and I'm pretty sure my favorite Austrian fact is that "Austrian people love to complain and will go out of their way to do so."

This is all so very neat, and I cannot be appreciative enough for all of these absolutely wonderful gifts! I'm going to have to work extra hard in the gym for this, but I look forward to being oh so very fat :)
