Aussie Ora Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 There is a history of the Syracuse "Salt Potatoes" and of course there are many versions of the story. Syracuse was called the Salt City years ago because of the salt mining industry. The poor immigrant workers would put new/small potatoes into the salt evaporation tubs and cook them for lunch. They could only afford the small, bitter potatoes. The salt bath would turn the inexpensive potatoes into really tasty potatoes.....and the legend lives on in this area. A local company brought them back and made them famous serving them at outdoor clam bakes. Now all the area grocery stores carry them along with the bag of fine salt included. You can use small red potatoes or "new" potatoes with the salt and get about the same effect / taste.

I saw that on the customs declaration. When I opened the box and saw everything it just totally slipped my mind. Glad you reminded me. Will definitely try something out of that cookbook when I can find some prawns that are worthy. Thank you again, what a great box. And TY for sending the box back. Those are awesome for shipping bottles. Maybe next time I'll send the Aussie art to someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) OK, first the story. Got all the stuff assembled, boxed, labeled and off to the Post Office. Decent line, get to the counter after about 15 minutes or so - Reef's and MacKenzie's packages OK, Aussie's not so much. Turns out, you can't ship anything in a box that has visible display of any alcohol product - I had packed his stuff in a wine case box. So, back home, unbox, re-package everything in a "plain" box, relabel and back to the Post Office, just before they closed. After 2 trips, everything is on it's way! Reef's tracking number - 9534 6103 0107 8017 2443 37 Expected arrival - Tuesday 23rd. MacKenzie's tracking number - LA077226629US Expected arrival - TBD? (Sorry MacKenzie, it's "In Transit" and will hopefully have an arrival target by tomorrow.) And, finally, Aussie's tracking number - EW001841364US Expected arrival - Wednesday 24th. Funny that it can go half-way around the world almost as fast as from here to GA! But, it costs 30x as much to ship!! Not sh!tting you - granted Aussie's box weighs twice as much as Reef's, but it's literally costing almost 30 times as much in postage. But, all that matters is that everything arrives intact! Lots of bubble wrap, ziploc bags and newspaper! Fingers still crossed. Edited January 18, 2018 by tony b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Awesome can't wait to see what comes. Interesting, I've never been given an expected delivery date on anything I sent to Aussie. Can't see how that delivery date is going to work since it still has to go through Australia Post. Just curious did you send Aussie's priority international? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Postal Worker said something during processing that it qualified for some free upgrade. Maybe that was it?? All I know is that the receipt says "(Guaranteed Delivery) (Wednesday January 24, 2018) (Money Back Guarantee)" All 3 packages left Cedar Rapids last night @ 10:32pm. Reef's landed in Des Moines this morning. MacKenzie's and Aussie's are likely in Chicago, but the status doesn't say so yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
