Around the Kitchen Table Newsletter - November 2011


Welcome to another issue of Around the Kitchen Table!
We had a terrible wind storm last night. There was no damage or blown over trees but the wind gusted for most of the night. This morning the yards were strewn with piles of leaves and tree branches that were literally ripped from the trees. My hanging begonias were whipped to shreds. I know it's autumn and the leaves are beginning to fall from the trees but the yards were so beautiful yesterday and today they look like a disaster struck!

Our son, daughter-in-law, and baby girl were here visiting for a few days! An eight month old is so inquisitive and full of energy!

We have a new Master Catalog that shows the complete product line. Watkins 11 fl oz Double Strength Vanilla Extract, 11 fl oz Double Strength Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract, 6 oz Cinnamon tin, and 6 oz Black Pepper tin are all on sale this month!

Kemps Holiday Vanilla Ice Cream is Made With Watkins Vanilla! The Kemps brand has a tremendous heritage and a very strong presence in the Mid-West. Please look for this premium ice cream in your local grocers.

Look at the delicious recipes we have for you this month - Cinnamon Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins, Bean Vegetable Soup, Pumpkin Soup, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Cheese Sage Biscuits, Chili-Glazed Pork with Sweet Potato Hash.
