Package from [livejournal.com profile] stress_kitten

I meant to post about this earlier and then I forgot. Guess what arrived in the mail for me this week! A cute little box all the way from Canada from [livejournal.com profile] stress_kitten! I met her when we were both pregnant, and she had a little contest that I won. I came closest to the correct date and time to the birth of her adorable baby boy, Rhys. (I didn't specifically guess that he was going to be adorable, but he is.) She had offered a cute custom-color cross-stitched dragon, and it was very sweet--he is drinking Pepsi! With a tiny little logo on the cup! How cute! She also included a few yummy cookies (the whole box smelled incredible because of them AND a little jar of homemade spicy mango chutney that she made a while back. I'm looking forward to trying that! Just as soon as I figure out what to have it with. I have never had mango chutney before, but they use it on FoodTV sometimes. :)

Anyway, thank you! You're so sweet!

I'm glad it arrived in safety. :-) Chutney can be used very nicely as a condiment for curry, or you can use it in meat and/or cheese sandwiches. Those are the two basic uses I use it for. It works pretty well if you spread it over a (strong-flavoured... it'll overpower a delicate) fish fillet, wrap it in foil, then bake it. Would probably work for pork or chicken as well, though I haven't tried that yet.
