Oh that's a wonderful package! White Truffle Oil?????????? Ann you are so lucky!

I had french fries made with white truffle oil one time and they were very very delicious. I think I need to go back to that restaurant.

Ann I know you'll enjoy the vinegars and the truffle oil.

Lucky girl!

Cathy, you did good~

Oooh good gift! Cathy sent me a bottle of the fig balsamic in a swap. I love it and use it as a reduction sauce for pork and for fish. A salad with pears and pecans and blue or feta cheese would be lovely with it as a dressing.

Enjoy, but I know you will! Good going Cathy!

Very special indeed! I've learned from the generous people here how delicious a salad can be with special oils and vinegars. That fig balsamic vinegar may be the only 'figgy' item for me! Don't like them otherwise, but that looks and sounds interesting.

Nice crate of goodies, Cathy!

Show us your salad pics, Ann!

Ann, very nice gift from Cathy.

Oh tasty !! What a perfect gift-- bet that fig balsamic is divine on strawberries !

A wonderful swap item from Cathy to Ann.

Cathy you figured this one out perfect!

Nancy

What a truly special swap package..not only great vinegars put truffle oil too!!!!
I jealous....LOL

Enjoy Ann; great job Cathy!!!
Linda P

Wow, wow, wow! Them's some yummy bottles of stuff, I tell you!

What great timing and a tasty gift. I bet you and Moe will enjoy many salads, just think spring greens are just around the corner.

Stacie

That looks pretty good to me. I also love lots of different vinegars. Hmmmm. I don't like figs, but would I like fig vinegar Cathy? Is it real sweet like figs?
That looks like a great swap package for me. Are you sure you didn't mean to send it to me? Surely sending it to Ann was just a little error on your part?
Nice job, Cathy. I hope you enjoy your goodies, Ann.
Sherry

ROFLMAO.

Why? Because that fig vinegar has made the rounds here from Cathy, and everyone who has a bottle should be the envy of those who don't! (yes I have one too) Sherry, even if you don't like figs, that stuff is divine. I just opened the bottle to inhale it. Ah heaven.

Now I'm craving spinach salad....

Nice job Cathy, you are contributing to the Thibeault's health if they eat more salads because of your gift.

These vinegars and oil look like a special treat.
I make Ina Gartens Broccoli and Garlic...I bet they'd be excellent in that or green beans or a corn salad or oh, just lots of things!
Great gift choice Cathy:)

Mmm, how yummy.....truffle oil is to die for and a balsamic. I have never had the fig so I must be on the look out for some.

Cathy, great job.

Peppi

I've had fig vinegar but never the fig balsamic, it sounds good.

I see a lot of really good salads in Moe's future, lucky guy that he is.

I think you got this one really well, Cathy.

Annie

Ann - that white truffle oil will go really well sprinkled on some fresh pasta or drizzled on risotto! The fig balsamic on berries.....mmmmm Enjoy!

So who was this for? LOL Moe and Matthew?

I've never had truffle oil or truffles period. It does sound intriguing as does the vinegars.

Great gift! The truffle oil is great for so many things and the fig balsamic vinegar must be interesting. Balsamic vinegar is always useful.

What a great line up! Not only pretty, but useful. And just in time for spring greens (and strawberries). Wonderful gift, Cathy!

Nina

Mmmmmm, yum! Those vinegars sound so good. I've never had truffle oil, and I've been scared to try it because I'm afraid I'd love it! What a very special treat. There are so many possibilities for the vinegars and oil. Great gift, Cathy. Lucky Moe, I mean Ann!

Sally

oooh those look yummy! I would love to try any - but would need all kinds of ideas from all of you as to how to use them...neat neat gift.

Yep, Cathy, it sounds like you hit t nail on the head. Great idea.

I understand there is another swap box en route as we speak?

I'll be back to check it out.

How old is the vinegar? It looks like it has been aged a good while and therefore must be very thick and sweet. I'm just about out of my best balsamic vinegar and need to replace it, but the price just keeps going up. I love truffle oil also.

Great package!!

Lars

Lars, I'm sure I'm not the balsamic connoisseur that you are but this brand is my favorite fig and regular vinegar. I have tried probably 5 brands of fig and none are as rich as this.

OT: Those uneven labels on the bottles (the picture above) are making me crazy. Well, not crazy but uncomfortable.

Oh Ann... Sorry that I'm getting here, to see what you recieved, so late. I've been so busy. Nice Vinegars & Oil !!! I love White Truffle Oil too. Cathy made a good choice. Enjoy !!! P.S...Thanks for all you do, to make these swaps so special !!!

Ann, I just love your vinegars! I would especially love the white truffle oil one as well. You're right...it truly is a special swap package! Please let us know how the vinegars are. I love good vinegars as well as good olive oils, and mustards! Enjoy!

Shelley

OH, I am jealous. They sound fantastic and I love the look of the bottles.

Wonderful package.

What a flavorful great package for our good friend Ann...Moe too. I hope you have a good hiding place to keep that Truffle Oil from Mat. I see Ann wasted no time putting it to good use.

Great package Cathy! I didn't notice the labels until you pointed them out...LOL

David

One of these days (soon) I'm going to buy myself a bottle of White Truffle Oil. That is Heaven in a bottle!

Wonderful! A firend gave me a similar package for Christmas, altho' I have to say, I didn't get the truffle oil.

Good job!

Ann, I love your package. I know you have a zillion great things in mind already to use them with. Great stuff Cathy, worth the wait!
James

most excellent gift, cathy and ann. it's one i would have no problem finding wonderful things to do with each of those bottles of goodies.

i love strawberries macerated with balsamic, served over vanilla ice cream and garnished with toasted pine nuts DELISH! and truffle oil drizzled over just fried potatoes and then grate some parmesaen cheese and season with S&P, not to mention drizzled over macaroni, seafood and even a good fried egg. recently i was at a friend's who served a cheese course with honeyed walnuts and fig oil and told us after dinner he made a mistake, it was supposed to be served with figs and drizzed in walnut oil. it was good nonetheless and everyone ate the course.

enjoy every last drop!
