The Calidocious Birthday Party
.
Page under construction: will feature the Calidocious® Inc. annual shareholders meeting, plus supplementary edible products of Calidocious® Inc. The holiday is also meant to honor the legendary Princess Calijfia whose trading realm was quite similar to the future realms of the Dutch East and West Indies companies.
.
Princes Calijfia (pronounced 'ca-leaf-ee-a'), and who was alternately called 'Califia' or'Calafia', was the heroine of a popular Spanish novel by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo in the early 1500's, during the period the Spanish were (re)discovering lower California.

A projected future product will be spice cookies imported from Flanders and Holland.
