This is some GREAT stuff!

One of my MIVEST friends, Zeke, lives a "little" jaunt north of me on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain with his owners, Jim & Ellen. They offer some great wood turned products along with handspun and dyed yarns, knitted items and more.

They also happen to make some of the most excellent Hot Sauce ~ Macanero Hot Sauce to be exact!


Now, I love heat but so many hot sauces on the market have entirely too much salt and vinegar in them that it sets my mouth on fire and I can't enjoy the experience. This sauce doesn't do that! It's a sweet heat that is out of this world. A delightful combination of Macintosh apples, maple syrup and a nice assortment of hot peppers. Splash it in a bowl of chili to kick it up a notch (yum!), or on a pile of scrambled eggs(yum!). Either way you won't be disappointed when this sweet heat delivers a treat on your taste buds. Stop on over to Yellow Dog Farmand say hi to Zeke. He'll set you up with some of the best hot sauce in Vermont!

First on the list ~~~ Veggie Folk - Carrot~~~ Purchased from Gobbledygook Creature Decor. The entire purchasing experience has been pleasurable. You really must read the product description on their store. Package was addressed "The Wonderful..." Anyone that calls me wonderful on a package is all right in my book! The picture on their website does not show the full character and charisma this carrot has to offer.





Next on the list ~~~ Car and road set~~~ Purchased from GREEN MOUNTAIN WEE WOOLIES. An outstanding gift to present my cousin and his wife on the birth of their first child!
