Mel's Own Place

Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you a beautiful gift from Ruthie and her husband, Dan. While at Ruthie's blog, I had seen a post of some wonderful jars of pickled jalepenos. Ruthie's husband bottles his own to get the right texture and crunch. Well, I commented on how my husband would love the peppers and Ruthie quickly replied that she and her husband would be happy to send me a bottle!! I was excited and took her up on the offer! Well, when the peppers arrived, I was stunned at the pretty pickled peppers and their rich colors! They got a lot of red peppers in their harvest this year, so the bottle was a 'Christmas mix' of reds and greens. My husband is so excited to use them on his meats, but we have to wait one more month until they've set the recommended 3 months. Dan has it all down to a science! Ruthie also sent a cottage block to swap! It's got darling stockings trimming the windows . . . how cute is that?? I love it and added it to the design wall where it can be at 'home' with the others! Since my computer is down, I don't have my normal list of blog friend's emails. One of the lost ones is Ruthie's, so I hope she will find out about this post and see that we've received the pepper package perfectly and that we are very THANKFUL that she and her husband shared their bounty.
