UPDATE: 10,200 Traveling Daylilies
Comments (101)Oh Mary! I rushed right to the other office in this warehouse complex as soon as I read that - the box WAS delivered to that business last Friday. That receptionist doesn't like my looks I guess - she will not even bother to call me when boxes are misdelivered there (often) let alone open the door & let me know when i walk right by her window in the mornings to my mailbox on the highway. Grrr. I was angry just now so forwent offering her money to let me know like I'd planned on. Anyhow - what a magnificent box!! ~TWO loves of cranberry orange bread with golden raisens with recipe + 2 others (going to be the highlight of my Thanksgiving, i can tell already. How cool to send the recipe, too. I'm going to try the Pumpkin Crunch Custard and Squash & Apples, too. Yum) ~A years subscription to horticulture!! Thank you very much! My subscription had run out & I'm so happy I will get more. ~Fig & Brown Sugar handsoap that smells delicious on my hand as I type. I love it! ~Mixed nuts - heavenly ~A Cadbury cramello bar - decadent & one of my favs ~Blushing Beauty tulips, which were on my wishlist, to force, along with a HUGE Amaryllis 'Aphrodite' for Christmas!! I have a thing for these too, even sprouted a sdlg this Summer. ~TWO kinds of kitty treats and TWO fun toys these are the BEST! ~TWO cards. The thankful note is going to be taped to my bathroom wall so I will read it every morning & never be depressed again. And she gave me a beautiful primitive countryside thanksgiving card that adds, oh by the way, I'm sending you 'PLAYING WITH SHARKS' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you Mary! thanks for everything ****** Roxy ~ The Red Lion Amaryllis you sent me is blooming beautifully for Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you, too....See MoreSuggestions For SWMBO's Surprise French Dinner Party?
Comments (88)I can't see the pictures here at work, I've got to remember to check them tonight at home. The dinner sounds delicious and I'm sure will look every bit as good as it sounds. Congratulations on a job well done. So SWMBO was suitably surprised and good for the daughter, to allow that the soup wasn't totally "icky", LOL. Annie...See MoreFavorite coffee?
Comments (38)My DH buys different types every few days because he's always on the quest for the perfect coffee. He hates to grind too, so he just buys the 12 oz bags from supermarkets. The other day he found a brand at a local close-out store-it was around $4/12oz-he bought it for the kid who works for him, and I tried it-it was quite good. But given the source, I know we'd never find it again. I've found that McDonalds coffee brand is actually pretty good for a grocery store coffee. I do not like Dunkin Donuts or Gevalia. A regional brand, Seattles Best is pretty good, and I like Starbucks Blonde blends. I agree, the Tanzania Peaberry is a good coffee, but DH doesn't like it. My favorite is also from a local roaster, but I have to buy it in 5lb bags of whole beans....See MorePot shape for pots de creme
Comments (20)I look forward to a report. Meanwhile -- I have to make a trip to Whole Foods to try the La Fermiere. I'm such a sucker for the little blue pots -- at least the first half dozen to a dozen or so. LOL For many years, I had the working glasses because they looked like the jelly jars. Other than Welch's grape jelly for the kids PB&J years ago, I don't buy much jam, but when I do, that is one I look for....See Moredcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . c o m
