Checked my mail today and found a notice to pick up a package at the Post Office. So off I go to get this, a package from Birgir.
If you look in the lower left of the box, you can see why Birgir has money for so many toys. To save money, he's off-shoring the production of his bakery products to China.
I open the package to find this:
Caramels, cookies and some fruit cake. The baked goods are from Birgir's bakery. The cookies are basically coconut macaroons made into cookies. Very good and not too sweet. The fruit cake looks to be a lot more appetizing than the disaster we call fruit cake here in the US.
Even better, underneath the coconut cookies are more cookies:
These cookies taste like Anise cookies to me. There is a light touch of anise and, again, the cookies are not too sweet. I've already eaten way too many of both kinds of cookies. They are yummy!
There are also 3 CDs of popular Icelandic music of the 70's. The forth CD is spanish jazz guitar music that Antonio sent me.
I'm listening to the 73 hits now. It's very interesting and I am enjoying it a lot. The jazz guitar music is great too.
Thank you very much for such a great gift, Birgir. I still owe you another CD and will get it to you soon.
Also, thank you Antonio for the CD of nice jazz guitar. It is very enjoyable.
Merry Christmas to you both!
