The cookbook sounds good, but the homemade one sounds even better! That rub will probably be interesting on local fish, LOL!

What a lovely package. I just love that homemade cookbook (Are you a scrapbooker, Lori?) The Greek cookbook appeals to em, also. Have fun cooking Greek, netla! Nice job, Lori!

What a great swap package! I love the "homemade" cookbook. That rub sounds great! I like the sound of that Greek cookbook! Enjoy!

Great job Lori!

The Greek looks lovely but the homemade one looks even better. What a clever idea for a swap package.

I know Lori was worried because it took so long to arrive. So now she can breath a sigh of relief.

What a wonderful swap box. I love Greek food and that looks like a great cookbook. Oh Lori the homemade cookbook is beautiful. What a great idea.

Ann

I agree, that homemade cookbook is a great idea, although the Greek one is beautiful also.

Fish rub? I don't think I've ever heard of that, I'll bet it's good, coming from the coast.

Annie

Nice job, Lori! Netla (Johanna!) you'll love the Nantucket Rub. It's got a bright, fresh taste with just a bit of punch. I use it on all kinds of fish, even on chicken sometimes. Nice package!

Very nice handmade cookbook set up!
That Greek cookbook looks amazing..
And what's not to love about a rub?
Nice package Lori!

Whew! I was so nervous, Netla!

The handmade had me stumped because I can't can (yet) and I didn't want to send any other food stuff that might spoil (since now I know this took forever to get there - glad I didn't).

Netla, I know you said you like to keep your notes of different recipes, so I thought this would be a good way of organizing them. I've never done scrapbooking before but I think now I will. You can add pages as you go along (there happen to be blank pages in there...sshhhh, not cheating.) I added one recipe for each category to get you started. Some are mine; some are forum favorites.

I think I want to go back and get the Greek book for myself! LOL

Enjoy your package, Netla! :)

Lori, what a great package! I especially love the homemade cookbook, a unique idea! And the Greek cookbook looks to be a treat in itself. And I'm sure Netla will enjoy the fish rub too.

Enjoy your goodies, Netla!

Catherine

I love the handmade cookbook, wonderful idea!

Very nice Lori.

Nancy

This probably sounds silly, but I just love it when swap packages are color coordinated!! I think this is a particularly classy groups of items. Great job Lori. Sounds perfect for Netla.

Wonderful package Lori. The book you made is beautiful. I got the same cookbook in this swap Netla! I love it; I'll be making Ktipiti "Spicy Feta and Pepper dip" on page 21 as the starter for my soup and grilled sandwich virtual dinner this Saturday. The Nantucket rub looks very interesting; I'm curious about what spices are in it.

I know you'll enjoy everything Netla.

Lee

Lori, I see you were enticed by the same wonderful photos in the Greek cookbook as I was! I think your idea of making Netla her very own cookbook is genius and so creative. It's also lovely to look at. Good job Lori! Netla, I know you're going to enjoy it all!

Well I think it's just way cool! The home made cookbook is so nice. So is the Greek one, but I just love that home made one. What a clever idea. I've made one for myself, but it's just a tatty recycled binder I dug out of my closet. Your's is so pretty. The spice rub has got to be good, too.

Sally

Wow the homemade cookbook is a keeper. How pretty and original and personal. My son would love that spice rub. Let us know how it is. Very nice and thoughtful package from Lori.

What a great idea, Lori! A hand made and personalized cookbook! That spice rub sounds tasty. Love the Greek cookbook, too!
Enjoy your goodies, Netla!

Linda

Wonderful package Netla. All three things sound good to me because I love Greek, I've never had the spice rub and putting all the recipes you like in a book and giving it to someone is just such a great gift. Lori, a very high five for this one!

Netla, I know that the arrival of your swap package made two people very happy. Lori can breath a sigh of relief that her wonderful swap box arrived. I also enjoy Greek food and I'm sure you will enjoy trying some new recipes from the cookbook. The homemade cookbook is beautiful. What a super idea.

Oh How nice!!! I love the home made cookbook, that is just so special Lori!

Enoy it all Netla !

That is really special. I love that idea, too. Great cookbook.

That homemade cookbook is a very cool and unique item like so many of the others in this swap. I'll be looking for a recipe from the Greek book too. I've yet to meet a dry rub that I didn't like. Enjoy Nelta! Great box Lori!

David

Lori, The homemade cookbook was a great idea. I don't know much about Greek food so I can't wait for some recipes.

Enjoy Netla!

Tracey

This entire package is great. BUT, the homemade cookbook is just fantastic! What a wonderful memory of Lori...the inclusion of her family recipes makes it so special...great job, Lori!

I know you'll enjoy your presents for years to come, Netla.

Tricia

A friend gave me a similar cookbook years and years ago. I still pop clippings into it. It was such a thoughful and useful gift. Lori, your book is also beautiful.

The Greek cookbook looks interesting, as does the rub. The kid, who brought home gyro-makings for dinner, wandered in just now and said, "Greek. Kewl." lol.

WOW, the homemade cookbook is so creative and useful and thoughtful. I am impressed, there are some very talented people on the CF!

The rub sounds really good and I would like the Greek cookbook.

Lori what a nice package for Netla!

Lori, I love the homemade cookbook - a very unique and special gift. The Greek cookbook sounds wonderful! Enjoy your package, Netla!
