A surprise delivery from a Fed Ex Truck the day before Thanksgiving!
Upon opening I recalled entering a contest.
Apparently, I won!
The deepest, heaviest pie plate I have ever lifted turned out to be an earthenware pie plate made in France!
How gorgeous!
Love the azure blue glaze on the side.
The proof of the earthenware is on the bottom with the authentic markings of having been made in France.
Also American Heritage Chocolate from the Mars Foundation (as in M&Ms, Mounds bars)…yum!
The Mars Foundation is a major donor to Colonial Williamsburg, providing funds to rebuild some of the historic structures in the town.
Currently they are funding the Armoury Project.
American Heritage Chocolate is a bit different from what we are used to today.
Dating back to the 18th century, it has various spices in it like cinnamon, nutmeg, orange, red pepper, salt, and vanilla.
Love the chocolate brown tissue paper.
Perfect attention to details!
Wow! Look at all that chocolate!
My son was giving me ideas for all the various recipes I could put to work.
The bag has chocolate powder for drinks!
We’ve sampled some before on tours of the Colonial Williamsburg Charlton Coffeehouse, which was rebuilt with funding from the Mars Foundation.
On the left is a block of solid chocolate that I can use for baking!
And in front are individual portions of chocolate!
I also got autumnal cookie/pie crust cutters! I have lots of ideas for these!
Perfectly chocolate business card…
On the reverse the name of the packer! Perfect, since I used to live in Texas!
