I guess I need to send out more PMs Still several people that have not verified mailing.

I am leaving town in the morning for the weekend.
I will check in the morning before I go, but I sure hope they are all out by the time I get back.....and we have more arrivals

 

[briannesmom]

Well, we baked. I didn't have everything to make the cookies so we made cupcakes. They taste good but they kind of sunk in so they look kind of funky.
I checked the delivery confirmation on my packages and it shows one was delivered today, the other one is still MIA. Hopefully tomorrow.

Amy

It appears to be a cold recipe.

2 lb spinach,stems removed and torn in pieces
1/2 cup olive oil
butterfly pasta-1lb cooked and cooled (or any shape)
2T. lemon Juice
2T, wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
2T toasted pine nuts
2 cucumbers peeled and sliced
2/3c feta cheese crumbled
4 scallions, finely chopped
Put spinach in a very large bowl. In a jar combine oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, cinnamon, mustard and pepper. Shake well, pour half over the spinach leaves and toss well. Sprinkle on pine nuts and pasta. Arrange in circles or layers the cucumber slices, then layer on the feta cheese. Sprinkle on the scallions and pour on the rest of the dressing.

 

[Twigs]

Your very welcome Kimba! I'm glad everything got to you OK, I was a little worried about the mug and the baking dish thing. Yes the feta pasta salad is a cold dish and I forgot to mention on that, I usually double the ingredients for the dressing, but that is up to you. The broccoli salad is also a cold dish.

And a really cute snowman plate......how did you know I collect snowmen??

And a bunch of cookie cutters on a ring......keeps them all in one place. I must look at doing that for some of my others.

Thanks again
