know ... not to mention the medical costs that go with this purchase. So in the holiday spirirt ... Jack in the Box nipping at your nose. Anyone tried the new steak sandwiches? I like Jack alot but haven’t been over there...

Gurlfren is on a lemonade fast for the next couple of days. I overestimated and bought an entire box from my local restaurant supply. We’re talking about 30 pounds worth, most of which will be left after the lemonade fast...

Boxing Day is a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia,Guatemala as well as the countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian Population. It is based on the tradition of giving...

I baked a bunch of cookies for holiday gifts and realize that celophane bags aren’t going to work to package them up (too delicate). I’m sure target or a 99 cents store might have cookie boxes or tins, but I...

compact in shape — thin and lacy cookies don’t do as well as balls and logs, and are meant to be somewhat aged. Mrs. Smith has posted many wonderful posts on her holiday boxes — last year I think she posted on...

The Mexican Hot Cocoa cookies are in a Christmas-y looking red and green box, so I figure they’re probably a holiday item as well. Not recommended – really dry and they taste more like cinnamon than chocolate. I did...

Hi. I want to buy some clients boxes of chocolates for the holidays, but I have to say (and this is probably sacrilage) that I am not a huge fan of Jacques Torres. Maybe they’re just too subtle for me, but I found them on...

G' morning all..what’s your favorite cookie in a box that you can buy at the grocery store.

Hello Budino, This is one of my favorite pastimes every Christmas. I make 100+ dozen cookies and candies and make boxes for all my friends and family who live far away. I do it because it’s so much fun, and such a much...

Not so strange, but lazy I suppose. My boyfriend received a box of cordial cherries (the kind that run a couple of bucks from the mass retailers and drug stores around the holidays) that had expired the PRIOR November. As in 13...

Anyone tried the restaurants at the Holiday Isle resort in Islamorada, Fl.? We are thinking of staying there if we can find out how the place really is. Pictures on the web look nice, but sometimes that can be deceiving. Not just...

Every year one of my husband’s patients sends us a huge box of assorted carmel, chocolate, and nut covered apples and they are fantastic. They are from QVC! Seriously, terrific. The name of the company is Mrs. Prindables.

So this year I will have to live vicariously through the board. What’s new and good this year? I hope someone will stop by Crixa and see what they have for the holidays. For this year the visions of sugar plums that will...
