Giving it all away!

I love reading and gathering information. So I thought I would share it with you. Of course, once I give away all my secrets, I may lose my ability to impress others with my wealth of knowledge. :-)

I especially love the idea of giving olive oil, etc. as a hostess gift. Crate & Barrel's price is no longer $10, now $12.95, but the packaging is so very hip. I am finding that I am more drawn to modern design than ever before.

They also have some other interesting items such as the Fig Balsamic Drizzle. That sounds yummy!

I sometimes watch Take Home Chef and the other day he made mini-cheesecakes with strawberry sauce and drizzled a 12 year old balsamic on top. Like wine, age makes balsamic vinegar mellow, in this case, it is less tart and more sweet. YUM!
