Benefits of sustainable living

This weekend I went to a work party - hosted by one of the guys on my team.  I wanted to take a hostess gift and started thinking about what I could bring.  One of the best parts of growing and preserving your own food is that you can give gifts that come from your heart.  I put a mint jelly (for pork and lamb), raspberry wine jelly (for appetizers on crackers with cheddar cheese), 2 heads of garlic and seed packets I made up myself into a basket. 


For the rest of my team I brought seed packets (envelopes), plants, and spices - depending on who plants, who lives in apartments, and who cooks.  It made me so happy to give these.  It's a little part of me that I can give to them.
