Good Morning All,

I received my very first package from MJ Farms yesterday.

After reading MJ's thread about how things have dramtically slowed down, I decided that I was long overdue in ordering and sampling some of her foods.

Well, I got my box yesterday of an assortment of things like brownies, chili, a few task bars, some budget mix etc. kind of a smattering of things.

And lo and behold there's a lovely note inside from MJ saying it looked as if I was a fan of chocolate so she'd put in a few "extra" goodies that she thought I'd like!

I was overwhelmed by her generosity. The chocolate bars were to die for they were so good and there were a few other surprise things she's popped in my box to try too!

I enjoyed everything I ate yesterday, which was the chili and the chocolate almond/coconut bar (the whole thing!) and decided then and there that I'd like to do gift baskets for my family this coming christmas with a smattering of MJ foods inside.

I will continue to buy her products and am excited about branching out and trying more of her items next time. Hmmm, I need new bath towels.

What are your favorite foods as well as other MJ products?

I'd love to hear and it'll help me choose what to buy next!

Linda-

Oh the Chocolates really ARE to die for! They are sooo ooo ooo yummy! In fact I kept buying them over the winter meaning to give them as gifts- but somehow they kept getting gobbled up. hmmm...I wonder who could have done that?! teehehehe

Oh I absolutely adore the Scones with Orange and Walnuts. They are at least as yummy as the chocolate.

I also really like the following:

Thanks Alee!

From your list I have (but haven't tried yet)
the jambalaya
bare burrito
mushroom couscous

I also ordered the chili, which was good but I think I need to put less water in it, it was kind of runny.

AND I think I'll try the:
eat your veggies pasta (that looks yummy)
potato soup

This is great. Just like Christmas. That chocolate, almond & coconut candy bar is something I'm going to have to stock up on!

Do you think when I open my little tea house in Chicago, that I can sell MJ's foods in my little store section? Wouldn't that be AWESOME!?

Which thread was that Linda, that you are referring to about things dramatically slowing down? I must have missed it.

Hey girls...I finally put in my order. I ordered the calendar, notecards, and chocolate bars for hubby. I was thinking about ordering some of the food stuff, but doctor put me on sodium restrictions. It all looks very yummy and from what you guys said. Now I just got to wait like an excited kid waiting for Christmas morning like Linda mentioned. :)

I ordered awhile ago and still have to use it all up. I can't wait to try the chocolate that I bought.

Hi Katie,
Yes it's been a big idea of mine for a while. I'd like to open a little tea house, kind of L.A. style, aka zen-country girl. LOL!
I'd like to open it in the Lincoln Square area. It's a ways off maybe 2 years or less but I'm gearing up for it! Are you near by?
It would be lovely to have a friend when I make my move.

Hi Sherri,
For the life of me I can't remember. Frannie, Miss Wilma? Do you recall which thread it was where MaryJane talked about how much things had slowed down?

I'll keep looking.

Thanks - I started reading that thread, but I guess I didn't go far enough!
