I'm absolutely addicted to MDH's Chicken Curry Masala (sold in El Corte Inglés, in Portugal) and, silly me, I didn't even know there were other spice mixes. You can guess my excitement when I saw these two little beauties smiling and waving at me! // Sou completamente viciada no Chicken Curry Masala da MDH (vendido no El Corte Inglés, em Portugal) e, que tola, nem sabia que havia outras misturas de especiarias. Podem adivinhar a minha emoção quando vi estas duas belezas a sorrir e a acenar para mim!
Remember the flapjack squares Marco sent me in March? Emma now sent me delicious handmade Thanks for Frank's original granola flapjack. // Recordam-se das barras de cereais que o Marco me enviou em Março? A Emma enviou-me agora estas barras de cereais - receita original - deliciosas e feitas à mão da Thanks for Frank's.
I loved the Top Op anardana seeds (pomegranate seeds). It was really exciting to use them in my Pomegranate Cupcakes with Cheese Spread and White Chocolate Frosting recipe. Sadly, I have never seen them on sale in Portugal. Has anyone? // Adorei as sementes de anardana (romã) da Top Op. Foi mesmo emocionante usá-las na minha receita de Cupcakes de Romã com Cobertura de Queijo Cremoso e Chocolate Branco. Infelizmente nunca as vi à venda em Portugal. Já alguém viu?
Pause. Breathe. Smile. Let us all bow down to the next guest: Montezuma's chilli dark chocolate. Pause. Breathe. Smile again. // Pausem. Respirem. Sorriam. Vamos todos fazer uma vénia ao próximo convidado: o chocolate preto com chilli da Montezuma. Pausem. Respirem. Sorriam de novo.
Riddle's Ginger Compound - I can't wait to make a drink with it. // O Ginger Compound [composto de gengibre?] da Riddle's - mal posso esperar por usá-lo para fazer uma bebida.

É muito giro. Às vezes para apreciarmos o que temos cá dentro temos de olhar para fora (e de fora). :) E é uma belíssima maneira de mostrarmos o que de maravilhoso também temos cá dentro.
DeleteWhat a wonderful spicy package!
ReplyDeleteCheers

DeleteBom dia Alex,
ReplyDeleteÓtimo post, muitas novidades, dicas.
Beijo, bom domingo,
Vânia
Obrigada! Beijinhos!
DeleteGosh, what great stuff! You scored!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a mouth-watering package! :D I can't wait to find some time to use everything... :)
DeleteWhat an amazing package to receive! Such an interesting assortment of items, some of which I've never used before! I must get to my local Indian store to see if they have them :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I felt! Especially when I saw the MDH mixes: I couldn't believe there were others! (I know I could have searched for it online, but sometimes you limit yourself to what's on the shelf of a supermarket and somehow you forget a brand may have other items, too...)
DeleteAlex... tanto miminho bom !!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos
Mesmo. Senti-me mesmo mimada, que bela escolha de palavra. :) Beijinho e boa semana!
Delete;-)
DeleteI'm so, so glad you enjoyed your package (sorry it took me so long to have a look at your post, but I have been away for a couple of weeks).
ReplyDeleteHow funny is that about the MDH spices, my local shop has about 20 varieties on the shelf - I will try & email you a pic!
Hi, Emma! And the excitement didn't stop when I posted this - it is still here whenever I use any of the things you sent me.
DeleteI went to El Corte Ingles the other day and looked for the place where the MDH spices usually are, just to check if I were just being silly, but no, I was right: it's the only variety there. How fortunate it was for you to send me 2 others! I love mixing them with Portuguese spices, too. I'll post about it one of these days. Anyway, again: thank you so so much.
