Look what the Postman brought me...
On Friday morning, a mysterious package arrived at my door. A cryptic return address, something oddly shaped inside, handwriting I didn't recognize... what could it be?
A #12 Melon Baller -- that's what!!! One of you fabulous people sent ME a #12 melon baller. As you may recall, I was supposed to use one here, but didn't have one. I also was supposed to use one here, but again, was too lazy to go out and buy one.
And now, one of you lovely lovely awesome amazing super fantastic people took the time to go out and buy a #12 melon baller, wrapped it up with a nice little hello, trudged to the post office, waited in line, and sent it to me. That is so cool, it's beyond cool. Whoever it is -- I wish you had told me who you were, so I could write a thank-you note. But since, I can't do that, I offer my thanks in a different way:
And because I am a huge nerd, I used foods whose starting letters correspond with each letter of the word "Thanks." The "T" is tomatillo -- anyone want to guess what the other letters are made of?
I'll be back later this weekend with the Halibut post. Work got in the way of having a life this week. I need to do one or two mindless things to unwind and get back into "normal" mode (whatever that is), and I'll thankfully spend most of tomorrow cooking! See you in a few...

That is too cool! Congrats!
A - Apple
N - Nectarine
S - Strawberry
I have no clue what H and K are. Clever puzzle!
A is Apple, N is Nectarine, S is Strawberries? H and K? No idea there.
A-pple
N-ectarine
S-trawberry
Not much of a clue on H and K. It's not Honeydew (too white) and Kookie Dough would be stretch I think :)
.... actually that handwriting looks VERY familiar to me!
You guys are correct with the apple, nectarine and strawberry. C'mon... I know you can guess the H and the K. Not many foods start with the letter K (and no, it's not Kookie dough; I'm not Sandra Lee, spelling all the C words with a K).
Shuna: is that handwriting who I think it is????
H-omagenized Crisco?
Kiwi? That doesn't look like any kiwifruit I've ever seen, and I've seen almost all of Sandra Lee's shows. Damn, I'm going to be obsessed with this.....
The H isn't honeydew, is it? The only K's I can think of off the top of my head are kingfish, knish and kumquat. It doesn't look like any of those. Or kreplach.
Halibut? Horseradish? Hard boiled egg white? Knackwurst?
Hard boiled egg Kohlrabi
Is it cheating to use the food dictionary at epicurious.com? Using that dictionary for ideas, my guesses are kielbasa and hearts of palm.
H-hard-boiled egg?
K-knish? knockwurst?
H: Honeydew melon?
K: Kat food?
Yes, Kathy and Anonymous -- the "K" is Knockwurst.
No one has the "H" yet. Keep trying.
Here's a clue -- it is ethnic, and from a place I would like to go... much like a pair of traveling pants once did.
haloumi cheese?
YES! DingDingDingDingDing!!!!!!
The "H" was Halloumi!
I come here to laugh. and smirk. and generally have a raucous good time. thank you for all of these things!
(Do you know this book The Phantom Tollbooth where Milo eats words and letters in the marketplace?)
is the "H" made of Halibut?
That is so so so cute.
That is TK's handwriting! It's the same that is on my birthday card!
That is so nice!
