New Year's Quotes
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.  ~Benjamin Franklin

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
~Hal Borland
Shopping Tips!

Olive oil with branch 

Shopping Tip #1. We offer discounts for purchases of at least four bottles -- $2.00 off each bottle. The discount increases at six bottles -- $2.25 off each bottle, and again at 12 bottles -- $2.50 off each bottle.  We have FREE and DISCOUNTED shipping for the whole month of December.
Shopping Tip #2.  Shipping costs for each additional bottle drop dramatically so if you buy more than one bottle at a time, you save a bunch of money. We charge actual shipping costs. Except for this whole month!

Mom's Zucchini Soup (Zoup) 

Preparation and Ingredients

  • Wash zucchini, do not peel, halve and scoop out seeds
  • Dice and sauté zucchini in Extravagonzo Oil
    (any flavor) with some minced garlic and chopped onion
  • Add water to cover
  • Extravagonzo bottles hanging on snowflakesSeason with salt and pepper
  • Add chopped parsley and canned stewed tomatoes (or chopped fresh tomato)
  • Cook about 1 hour or until zucchini is tender
  • Add chicken bouillon to taste
  • Season with more salt & pepper if desired
  • Add cooked Ditalini pasta
  • Just before serving, stir in beaten egg (if you slowly drizzle egg in while slowly stirring, it adds really cool wispy egg tendrils)
  • Sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese (I like lots)

Yikes, this is good!  As Mom says, "It is fly by the seat of your pants as far as measurements go" recipe.  Have fun with it -- can't really screw it up -- make it "full" of veggies. Good warmer for winter.
