Here’s an Official Postcrossing card that came to me from Missouri! I think I may have posted a card from the “Fun Facts” series here before – today’s fun fact is about hamburgers! “Liberty Sandwiches” (alternatively, “Liberty Steaks”) was a term proposed in the US for hamburgers to steer away […]
Lemme get some pizzaaaaa! This postcard is from Spain! This is part of a typographic postcard series created by Harald Geisler, a typographer based in Frankfurt, Germany. This series bears the theme of using keys of a keyboard to convey a design, as inspired from another work of his: the […]
Got this bangin’ menu item over Official Postcrossing from Russia! Today’s hors d’oeuvres are shrimp with hardboiled eggs! I’ve never actually seen a pairing like this before. Though there may have been a time I had shrimp in an omelet before (unless that was just a dream. Of course I […]
This handmade card came to me from the lovely parcel I mentioned about a week ago from Italy! This cookie is known as baci di dama, or “lady’s kisses”, a name given from its resemblance to kissing lips. And lemme tell ya, that’d be one sweet kiss as these cookies […]

Now this card is something to “taco” ‘bout! I received this among a number of other amazing gifts from my dear friend in Finland! These were sent as a Christmas gift to me and they absolutely made my <insert unit of time that’s really, really big>! The words that accompanied […]
Check out this hand-made card from Finland! Many of you are familiar with this dessert. It’s sweet. It’s cute. It’s colorful. It’s the macaron! Macarons are confections consisting of two almond cookies with a sort of filling in between (which can be buttercream, jam, etc.), forming a sandwich of sugary […]
A deliciously marvelous handmade postcard came my way from Indonesia! I always seem to write a post about these kinds of cards when I’m hungry… or maybe I just think I’m hungry because I’m staring at it unblinkingly. J.CO Donuts & Coffee is an Indonesian-based chain that competes against similar […]
Drowned in love from Vermont! There is not much in this world more satisfying than watching a syrup waterfall engulf a 5×5 waffle topped with a generous prism of butter. And how about how those square indentations encase the syrup like little buckets of heaven? Fun fact: while these pockets […]
