'Tis The Season To Entertain & To Be Entertained

October Swap proved Dallas swappers are a fancy lot.  The Holidays are around the corner...love this time of year...soon we'll be sending invitations or getting invitations to mingle, sparkle and party.  When invited I love taking an edible host gift...the list is long: wine, coffee beans, fruit jam, local honey + cheese, seasonal organic fruit, you get the idea. 

For my November swap I will keep in mind the many invitations to come, wink, and what I would love to gift the host.  My wish is that it can be served that evening, enjoyed the next morning or shared with friends at a later date.  Think I'll make pear butter, apple butter, tomato jam........

September Swap

Wow! We had some really beautiful swap goodies. It was so much fun meeting new people that share the food passion!

Check out all the beautiful food and fun here. Join our flickr group and share your photos with us. Join our facebook page to see all the latest and greatest happenings.

With two swaps behind us, I'm finding more and more inspiration to branch out with some new creations! I'm thinking I'll do all kinds of different spreads next month. Or maybe pickles? Jams? Maybe I'll bake? No I'll do something with my 25 pounds of fire roasted hatch green chiles hanging out in my freezer. Who knows! We'll see! Can't wait! :-)

Stay tuned for October swap details. We'll open registration in the next couple of weeks. We have a new host...so exciting!

Last but not least...BIG THANKS to Phillip and The Wine Therapist! You rock!

canning basics with suze's jeffrey hobbs!

we had the privilege of a private canning session with Suze Restaurant's chef Jeffrey Hobbs. thanks, Michele, for setting it up!

we learned about pickling, hot baths, pressure baths, high acidity, shelf life, etc. we hope to get a hold of Optik Media's video of some of the Q & A's and demos.

we pickled asparagus, using this recipe. i LOVE food in jars!! and, we made what was supposed to be strawberry tarragon preserves but what ended up being strawberry thyme preserves. in our fury, we added the tarragon to the asparagus, so we cut some thyme from the garden as an alternative for the preserves!

can you can? yes you can. join our flickr group and add pics of your canned food!
