Description:

I think it's safe to say that mostly women frequent the 'bot and that a fair amount of us have jealous men in our lives who wish they got fun things in the mail every day too... so why not surprise them with a little happy mail?

I have decided to make this series with a different theme each month! This month: Food! Everybody loves food, but the menfolk have less of a love-hate relationship with it than women, haha. NOTE: I will be having a DRINK swap in the future, so limit this one to food. ;)

Instructions for this FOOD Swap:

1) You will send at least 1 edible food item and 1 food-related item (a recipe, a cool "chip clip" or bag clip, a set of robot measuring cups, a matchbox car with his favorite cereal on it, collectors items, whatever) to your partner's dude based on his likes and dislikes as listed in the comments below.

3) List your guy's name and if he is at a different address (your partner should PM you for it in that case) and some of his food/candy likes/dislikes in the comments and a few things he might need or like to receive that is food-related. MAKE SURE TO LIST ANY FOOD ALLERGIES OR LIMITS!

4) Remember to address the swap to your partner's man and to include a small note/swap card with the swap name & your username (and a little explanation as to why he just got a package of goodies) so your partner can rate on behalf of their dude. ;)

Rules

Golden Rule: - swap unto others as you would have them swap unto you!!

  • Spending limit is $5 before postage. Handmade items are welcome unless otherwise stated in the comments!

  • Newbies are MORE than welcome to sign up if they have a full profile (at my discretion) and if they leave a comment with their dude's info in this swap. ;)

  • No recent (last 6 months) or outstanding 1s or 3s... I will be checking.

  • You must post in the comments BEFORE partners are assigned or I'll give you the boot! ;)

  • Have fun! ;)

For my hubs, Jamison Blair Barsotti:

He loves all foods EXCEPT anything with olives (he does love to cook with olive oil). He is a foodie and loves to try new things and is definitely the chef in this household! He can make anything taste good.

Favorite candies: Reeses, Raisinets, dark chocolates, homemade Favorite snacks: flavored nuts, cookies, foreign (he loves to try new things) Favorite foods: ethnic (any and all, we love Indian, Greek, Jamaican, Thai, and sushi), comfort foods, homemade from scratch foods, desserts (he LOVES gourmet anything)

Food items he would like: new recipes to try, old food magazines, fancy utensils, novelty cooking utensils, fridge magnets of food or with quirky quotes (he has a pretty off-beat sense of humor), handmade stuff

I failed to mention that my husband is Greek... even though he hates olives. So Greek-foodie stuff is a plus. ;)

My husband's name is Dimitri and we live at the same address :-)

LIKES: starbursts, sour gummy bears, salt and vinegar chips, other sour candies, other chips, white chocolate, salty flavors, vinegar flavors, unique salsas. Asian gummy candies, salty snacks. Anything 'grover' or 'super grover' or 'cookie monster' from sesame street. When he cooks he likes to grill sea food or he cooks Asian style foods indoors.

DISLIKES/ALERGIES: walnuts, MSG, pork, peanut butter (peanuts OK).

Sorry about that Doyle! I'll fix it. ;)

My husband Joe Doyle likes any kind of junk food. Sweet or salty. He is easy to please. Loves neat and different kinds of spices or marinades or sauces for cooking. He really likes cool kitchen gadgets, more info about him on my profile!

My husbands name is Johannes Koenig - has the same adress as me. He is a vegetarian! He is more for the salty/spicy side of food and he loves to cook. Soups are his favorite dish to make and he gets quite fancy with them. He loves Indian/Asian Cuisine as well as TexMex. He loves exotic and hot spices and is always the first to handle the Barbecue. He loves to cook over open fire - one of his faves is Pizza Calzone on the roast. He gets excited about new gadgets for his cooking - he even goes to a Mens-Cooking-Club and assembled himself a Hardware Toolbox with all his Gadgets to take with him. He cooks the field-kitchen of our local red cross section and always looks for new inspiration there. (last time he "cooked" Cake in Glassjars in the fieldkitchen, ha!) He has huge piles of cookbooks and -magazines.

Huh, the Pizza Calzone should be on the grid - this was a translation error. The grid is Rost in german :o)

So...my guy is a junk food junkie. He loves all food, but for candy he enjoys swedish fish, starburst, skittles. His favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm thinking he could use a chip clip or something like that. He just so happens to LOVE robots. hahaha He says he literally has NO dislikes..although I'm fairly certain he doesn't like olives. Any questions, feel free to message me! He does love to cook!

The man in my life is named Luca and he currently lives light years away so he gets sent care packages. You can send the swap to me and I will include it with the next package I send out. Luca loves to cook so any cooking utensil would get used for sure especially if it is unique or nerdy. He enjoys cooking Italian food but I'm sure would love to try any recipe that gets throw his way. Some of his food likes are... Beef Jerky, Milano Cookies, Snicker-doodles, and Captain Crunch Berries. Cookies and Chips ... he is a snacky guy but anything you send would be great.

I forgot! Same as last time, you can send the package to me and I will forward it to him. :)
