I guessed Annie was my partner, but boy was I still surprised!!
Comments (23)Annie, I took all the oils and the penzey's spices on vacation and they were great. We have been on a bit of a from scratch pasta sauce kick and the basil oil meant we never had to buy fresh basil for just a tiny amount. I have also been quickly depleting the garlic oil, so good over broccoli with butter and a splash of soy sauce. I used the lemon oil in Tomato Basil butter the other day and it was a real time saver. I think I will be ordering oils soon :-) Although I did find the garlic oil in Trader Joe's on the cape. I look forward to the champagne vinegar as well, this whole package is so wonderful. I even found a source for unripe apples next year so I can try a greater selection of the recipes from my new cookbook. Good friends who are always happy to eat my jam have an apple tree on their property. Ann, you are right the box was huge, I used it to send out my swap package. So my swap partner will be receiving a well traveled box. -Robin...See MoreThe pound cake I made yesterday, no pics
Comments (11)I have barely half of the second loaf left, and that's only because we haven't been home for two days! We came home last night an hour late to feed the bunnies, who were patiently waiting, or maybe not so patiently, as they were each sitting by their own dish waiting, and didn't move away! They usually come to the door of their house when we come home. Then we were gone all day again today, so none got eaten. Tomorrow will finish it for sure. I may try seedless blackberry jam, or maybe blueberries in it next time. Tami...See MoreAnnie Made Me do It!

Comments (12)I know it must seem strange that I didn't taste the cookies, but I've learned to be rather rigid about my avoidance of sweets. Back in the days when I was pre-diabetic, I had a sugar addiction going, and one cookie (or whatever) would set off the cravings again. Also, at this point in my life even a small amount of butter or other saturated fat will have an almost immediate effect on my arteries and give me chest pains. My dad was the same way. It used to be said that one meal could not do that; the plaque had to built up over time. But some years ago I was pleased to see medical researchers report that yes, in some people one meal could definitely do that. I'm one of those people....See Morepetalique
