itsy "Bitsy" bulb

There is a new little "bulb" in da house. Bitsy Alli joined the family a couple of weeks ago after being rescued from an alley over in the valley. She was a tattered little thing who was scrounging in trash cans where our head honchette Caryl, found her and decided she needed to come home.

A few bowls of kibble and a much needed bath later we had ourselves a new mascot.. watch out Lorenzo!

Bitsy Alli likes to come to work and play with garlic bulbs (yes, really), "help" answer emails and take naps in her basket. She is so good and a lot of fun to have around the office. If only she caught mice!

Sometimes she gets to go home with me and play with her best friend, Sophie, my daughters kitten (rescued from a busy rural road on the way to school) who is the same age and size as Bitsy Alli. We're trying in vain to get some video of their antics because it is just downright funny. Not much success yet, but we hope soon.

Autumn = Potatoes :)

Chilly Autumn weather has set in, we’ve set the clocks back (at least in our part of the country) and it’s time forcomfort food. What could be more comforting than potatoes? Delicious, versatile and yes…HEALTHY!

A medium potato contains only 110 calories and 620 grams of potassium (more than a banana), 45% of the daily requirement of vitamin C and no fat, sodium or cholesterol.

~Roasted Garli Garni Potatoes~

4-5 lg. scrubbed Russet potatoes with skins

¼ C extra virgin olive oil

2-3 tsp. Garli Garni

10-12 sprigs fresh Rosemary

Slice the clean dry potatoes into large thick fries. Place oil in a lg. oven proof skillet and toss potatoes until coated. Sprinkle in Garli Garni & Rosemary & toss again. Place in 400º oven and roast for 15-20 mins., then toss scraping the bottom and return to the oven for another 15 mins. Or until tender.

Same mustard, new look

For some strange reason, when we designed our mustard labels years ago we made the "Jalapeño Garlic Mustard" labels blue.. why? Dunno, just one of those weird things. I guess we liked the way it looked. It never hurt sales or kept us from winning any awards but somewhere along the line we thought it was odd that we hadn't chosen green to be the color since jalapeños are green and our Jalapeño Pickled Garlic labels are green..

Anyway, we had to order new labels recently so we decided to finally make the change. So the next time you purchase some of our popular Garlic Festival Garlic Jalapeño Mustard, it will be green. So don't think you have to call us up and ask us if its the same, it is.. Its great and its got a fresh new look.
