It’s really special when people give you gifts first and foremost and it means a lot when they’re geared toward what you love to do. I received a few gifts that I wanted to share and thank those people.
First I received Herbs&Spices by Jill Norman from Stefanie’s mom (my other mom). This book is great. From what they taste like to how to store them and all the different uses along with some history this is the most concise book of Herbs and Spices I have come across yet. It also has a recipe section and a place to order hard to get herbs and spices. If you want a book on this subject this one shouldn’t be overlooked. Thanks Colleen!
My mom has gotten me something that we have long been wanting, a Kitchen Aid ice cream maker. We both love ice cream and have been wanting to make our own since the inception of the Single Ingredient Project. This will be well used and hopefully the fruits of it’s labor will be shared as well. Thanks Mom!
My brothers Pat and Jake and his fiance Sarah got me a Tiffin Box. This is a food storage container that can be used to store to store hot or cold meals in separate containers so you don’t mix food items. This is such a great idea as I have so many leftovers from this project that I am usually bringing in 2-3 sometimes 4 small tupperwares to work. This is such an appropriate gift and I love it. Thanks guys.
The boys and Sarah also got us some magnetic spice holders that now reside on the side of the fridge but will make there way to the cabinets when it is fitted with the materials so they will stay on .
Again thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes and gifts. They are so appreciated and so are you.
Happy.

Thanks. I did use the tiffin box today when we went to the beach and packed two sandwiches. Worked like a charm. I did enjoy my birthday, very low key.
