These few gift packages were delivered to Joseph Creek Village ...
to share with a few of the special people in my life ...
Oma was so excited to have a received her package from Austria ...
she waited until I came to her place to open it ...
We couldn't wait to open them up and have a taste of Resi's strudel ...
and her Austrian Kletzenbrot ... (hopefully I'll get her recipe) ...
The filling can consist of dried pears, apples, prunes, apricots, peaches, raisin ...
and other ingredients ... put into a yeast dough ... rolled and baked ...
It is sooooooo delicious ... !!!
I also received moms fruit strudel, poppyseed strudel and her nut filled strudel ...
Always grateful at this time of year for these treats ... !!!
Joe's gifts were delivered this day as well ...
bringing him his favourite Irish Cream coffee beans ...
and a bottle of Irish Cream syrup to be added to his decaffeinated coffee ...
for him to enjoy at any time ...
I loved bringing him a few of my cookies to have with his coffee ...
Joseph Creek Village was having an Ugly Christmas Sweater competition ...
at this night's dinner special event ...
Joe was happy to participate in this activity ...
and
he was fortunate to have won ...
hmmmm .... still have not heard what his prize was though ... !!!

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you share all your delicious baking. Love that your mom got that beautiful baking from Austria. Glad Joe didn't win another ugly Christmas sweater as a prize and got a gc instead. ;)
