Thank you, Kitchen Butterfly!

We had a special guest in the office today -- FOOD52er Kitchen Butterfly, visiting New York from her native Nigeria, came to pay us a visit! (The weekend before several FOOD52 users met up at Eataly -- you can see Panfusine's recap of the event here.)It wasn't until the end of her visit that she surprised us all with a set of gorgeous gifts -- we were speechless! From left to right, we have a reprint of a 1930s-era Yoruba cookbook, gorgeous placemats made from coconut fibers, grains of paradise -- which apparently cost next to nothing in Nigeria -- Kitchen Butterfly's favorite curry powder, dried chiles, ground melon seeds, and a gorgeous wooden bowl.

We're excited to make Grains of Paradise Peanut Butter Dip with the grains of paradise and Sasha (Global Table Adventure)'s Smoked Turkey Stewed in West African "Gravy" with the ground melon seeds. Thank you, Kitchen Butterfly!
