I expressed that I was a food freak and that food would be totally acceptable as a gift and now I am stuffed!

Modest_Proposal gave me a variety of tasty items from their local area and I was in pure delight even before trying any of them:

Olive Oil Pesto Dipping Oil and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar from Olivier Napa Valley.

Wildflower Honey from the Santa Cruz Mountains by Mountain Gold Bee Farm.

Nori harvested from the Pacific by Rising Tide Sea Vegetables.

5 bar rags. The bar rags were used as packing material and I just so happened to need some kitchen washcloths!

Dinner last night was comprised of using everything they sent to me and it was wonderful!

What a perfect assemblage of flavors - thanks so very much Modest_Proposal! I couldn't be happier! :-)
