After promising to send mine last Saturday I, of course, sent it yesterday. But it’s on its way!! My mail always comes SO late (4:30) that I can never get it in a decent time, so if mine is waiting on me it still might be a bit before I get it ---

I sent mine today. Should be there in 5-8 business days. If you think you can trust Canada Post. I am sure the Royal Mail end will be fine. 🙂 ---

This being my first time on the exchange. I hope I didn’t under-send. All I sent was a very touristy shot glass and something created locally by a company named after a very short man to put in it. ---

Oh wow! I just got my shot glass…and some more besides. Inter Alia has sent me a real care package. There’s the cute Lousiana shot glass, plus a miniature flask on a key chain. The latter could come in REAL handy. There’s a package of brown rice, and a package of dried red beans. I’m going to get out my Time Life Cajun cookbook and see what I can do there. Last but not least is a good sized bottle of dark rum. I guess I should have included a bottle of something in the package I sent, wasn’t sure at the time if it was legal. Must be. **Inter Alia** , do you have any good rum drink recommendations? _ **Thank you so much** _, it was a splendid package, and you didn’t have to send so much. But I’m going to enjoy it all. Maybe I can cook the rice and beans this holiday weekend, and sip the rum out of the shotglass. ---

**Silvorange** ROCKS! Wonders and wonders galore. A Kentucky shot glass, a Frazier Museum shot glass (Yes, I looked it up. Now I have to go there!) Bourbon. More bourbon. Still more bourbon. (I don’t know _what_ I’m going to do with it all. Oh, wait. Yes, I do!) And a baseball bat! A miniature but still big enough to put a smack-down on an obstreperous canine or kid Louisville Slugger! PERSONALIZED!!! ZOMG!!! **Silvorange** , you are officially the Coolest Person on the Dope. Thanks. ---

You’re welcome, **Baker**! I like the Rougaroux on its own, but it’s also good with Coke or ginger ale. I don’t know how widely available passion fruit syrup is, but you could make a hurricane, which is a New Orleans classic. Try 1/2 c. rum, 1/4 c. lemon juice, 1/4 c. passion fruit syrup, 2 tsp. grenadine, and 2 tsp. lime juice. Shake and strain into an ice-filled cup. That’s all I’ve got. That bottle would last me a year, at least. 🙂 Also, I love andouille sausage with red beans and rice. ---

Received my glass! Would like to thank the gentleman in Plymouth, UK who sent it. Thank you. Is there a story behind the glass choice (Minehead cider co. in Somerset)? ---

I am going to award bonus points to Sir T-Cups for sending from the heart of NASCAR country a care package that was completely devoid of any NASCAR tie-ins. Although the coffee mug did have a corporate logo on it 😃 ---

The hurricane sounds good, although I don’t know where to find the passion fruit syrup. I’ll ask at the liquor store, they may know where it’s sold. On another board I had some people give me recipes, and they tell me the brand you sent is quite highly regarded. Thanks again! ---

You’re welcome, **Baker**! You’d enjoy andouille if you spent some time building up your tolerance for spicy foods. That’s why they put Tabasco in babies’ bottles down here. 😉 The rum is [Rougaroux](http://www.dpdspirits.com/home/age-verify), in case anyone else is interested. ---

I will send out some emails tonight to see if anyone hasn’t yet received their glass and arrange for replacements to be sent, if necessary.
