Foodiepenpals: My first parcel reveal!

This month I joined the Foodiepenpals for the first time. I already can't remember how I found this community, but the idea is just great! Every month you get assigned two persons, from one of them you will recieve a parcel and to the other you will send one. For more detailed information just visit http://thisisrocksalt.com/foodie-penpals/!


My penpals were both from Lithuania, which made me happy as I really know nothing about this country. I already had the chance to visit Estonia last year, which fascinated me with an medieval oldtown much better preserved than those here in Austria.

So in this post I will share my parcel from Lithuania with you. The thing I was most happy with is a dough with which special dumplings are made. I haven't tried it yet, but I will try to think out some recipe with them and share it on my blog!
Apart from this dough I got some spices (dill and caraway), candies, tea and even socks !!! So my first experience with foodiepenpals was a very good one and I will definitly stay in this community!

It seemed that the police was pretty interested in my package as everything was opened and the parcel itself didn't look like on the picture I got from Monika when she sent it. I didn't even know that parcels within the European Union are controlled!? Propably they were pretty unsatisfied when they saw the content and didn't get anything but a feeling of hunger :) (I hope they didn't steel something of my candies)!

Weihnachtsgewinnspiel für Blogger / Christmas contest for blogger

Magublacook Christmas Special

Für das erste Weihnachten meines Kochblogs, habe ich ein kleines Gewinnspiel für euch vorbereitet!
Zu Gewinnen gibt es einen Banner zu eurem eigenen Blog anstatt meiner GoogleAds (danach bekommt ihr einen Link in meiner Linkliste)!
Mit der Infografik sollte eigentlich schon alles erklärt sein, doch hier noch einmal der Ablauf.

1.  Kopiert folgende URL http://magublacook.blogspot.com/?utm_source={YourName}&utm_medium={YourName} und ersetzt beide {YourName} durch euren Nicknamen
2. Wenn ihr wollt, könnt ihr auch auf einen bestimmten Artikel verweisen z.B. http://magublacook.blogspot.fi/2014/11/mangopaistos.html?utm_source={YourName}&utm_medium={YourName}
3. Öffnet https://goo.gl/ und gebt die fertige URL ein
4. Als Nächstes sendet mir beide Links an magublafix+cook@gmail.com bis zum 24.Dezember.2014.
5. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt habt Ihr zwei Monate Zeit meinen Blog zu teilen, in eurem eigenen Blog zu erwähnen,... wie ihr wollt.
6. Am 24.Februar.2015 wird abgerechnet und derjenige der in seinen 2 Monaten am meisten Leute auf meinem Blog weiterleiten konnte gewinnt die Werbefläche für 2 Monate.

For the first Christmas of my foodblog I thought, I should prepare something!
Therefore I came up with a little competition for my blogger-friends! The winner gets a banner on my blog instead
of the GoogleAds for 2 month (afterwards you will be mentioned in my friends list)!
The Infographic should speak for itself, but here is the whole process in detail again.

1. Copy the following URL (or some deep-URL to one of my articles but with parameters) http://magublacook.blogspot.com/?utm_source={YourName}&utm_medium={YourName} and exchange the {YourName} with your own nickname.
2. Go to https://goo.gl/ and copy your modified URL into the form.
3. Send me both links to magublafix+cook@gmail.com till the 24th of December 2014.
4. From now on you have two month to share the link wherever you want, at the end only the sum counts.
5. On the 24th of February the contest is closed and I will notify the winner within a few weeks.
