A good time was had by all!! Three are napping, one is packing, one is visiting friends, one is listening to music and I've taken a minute to turn on the computer and look at the news before tackling the mountain of dishes. I truly enjoyed cooking for the family this year and wanted to thank all of you for the pleasure that being part of the CF has brought me the past few months. Cooking is one way I've always had to show my family that I love them and it has been fun to find likeminded friends here. Peace and love to you all.... Grace

Yes, the price increases are coming, and unless you order now, you will pay more money. And for those who say that someone will give them the old price, you're wrong. They'd be voiding their agreement with the manufacturer's policies to do so and have them pull them from their store. Other firms's policies are different, but our firm's policies are to only accept full payment up front to order appliances. No deposits. We will "hold" the delivery up to 90 days, and that's that. If the customer needs a longer delivery lead time, then they need to buy it at a later time that is within that 90 day window. To keep customers from waiting 80 days and then deciding to "return and repurchase" and hold it another 90 days, we charge a 15% restocking fee on all special ordered items. All items not store stocked are special order, and that's pretty much everything. Unfortunatley, these policies were developed because of the costs associated with storing merchandise and the extra hassle some customers created by trying to be "creative" and abusing our prior more lenient policies. Yes, it's poorer "customer service", but customer service costs a firm money, and no one is really willing to pay for that any more. They'd rather get quotes from a dozen retailers and play them off against each other until there's no margin left for profit to pay for customer service and no company left to give customer service either.

Wait a minute. A truck crashed into your house? Did I miss this story? My MIL once was having lunch in Georgetown and a car crashed through the window of the restaurant. The waiters had to get her to move to another table, I think she would have sat there eating her salad while the radiator of the car was releasing its steam. :) I also want to say thank you to everybody for all the help and hand holding you are providing me with lately. Wishing you Joy during this Holiday Season. Bee

Best of Holiday wishes - and you bet! I'll be serving many of my wonderful "put-ups" this year.

They are so nice, delicious and festive with holiday fare.

Hope next year is as fruitful as this one - and more so.

And another gardening and canning year passes ;) - at least for us in the northern hemisphere.

Here's to 2008 and all the best to you and yours during this holiday season. Peace, health, happiness, and be sure to share some of those precious jars of preserved goodness with others.

Well, I donÂt have a pear tree or a partridge so these two doves in my spruce tree will have to do. TheyÂre sitting out there now hiding from the snow thatÂs falling.

Thanks everyone for all the help this past year.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Bill

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All.

After guests left this evening I spent the rest of the night browsing my seed catalogs that came in yesterdays mail. Can't wait for Spring!

Merry Post-Christmas and Happy Holidays all around!
As i ponder my Blessings, i think of the folk around this good list, and how sharing and enthusiastic a bunch of people you all are. Many thanks, for walking so many of us thru the processes of making deliciousness happen for our families and friends.
May 2008 see you all having great bounty from your gardens and kitchens!

Happy and healthy new year all! In Virginia we'll be eating black-eyed peas and greens on New Year's Day. Anyone else have a ritual to celebrate the new year?

Melissa,

We spend Christmas with my family in Toronto, then zip on Boxing Day (the 26th, also the Feast of St. Stephen) down to Tennessee to get together with my in-laws. But we leave just before everyone down here breaks out the black-eyed peas and hog jowls (it always amuses me as a northerner to see them advertised in the paper), to return to Toronto where for over a decade I've celebrated New Year's Eve with a sumptuous dinner at a dear friend's place. She's someone who, when I first knew her, didn't cook at all. But she took it on as a project and now lays on a multi-course extravaganza (foie gras appetizers, standing rib roasts, trous normands of homemade sorbets, etc.) for a dozen or more people every 31st. We feel very lucky to make the guest list. Some years our travel plans only allow us to arrive part way thorugh the festivities, but this year we've got a non-stop flight and are looking forward to being there from the first munch....

Happy 2008 to all my harvesting friends.

Wow Zabby, busy holidays but that sounds like a fantastic NYE dinner! I read somewhere about buying a jar of hibiscus flowers in syrup and placing them in champagne flutes before filling. It adds a little pink color and a bit of flavor, and the bubbles make the flower gradually unfold. I hope to try it out sometime when I'm hosting something fancy, but tonight I'm only having a few sips at a party before coming home to start the new year with my dog. I think I might walk him over to the NYE celebration in Richmond's Carytown shopping district, but if the 20,000 people they expect actually do show up, we'll probably watch from our back porch several blocks away. They have a lighted ball on a 100-foot tower on top of a building, but unlike Times Square it goes up instead of down.

They advertise pig parts here too...last year they had packaged pigs' feet at Kroger, and yet most of the year it's hard to find a pork butt roast there!
