Killer goodies from KatieC!

| Oh yeah I got my package from Katie! Well…. truth be told I got it a few days ago…. but she forgot one item so I patiently and politely waited until the last piece arrived to post. Yeah, that’s right.
Katie sent me local goodies! She must know I love beer can chicken – here is a new piece to add to my collection*. This bowl, made by local potter Bruce Sondahl, is my favorite color, blue. Katie has told me that he has an ‘honor system’ by which people pick the pieces they want and leave payment in an unattended area. Trust! The BBQ sauce that goes with it (still counting as one item) is another local creation. Yum!
Number Two in the package was an incredible zebrawood angled spatula that Katie and her daughter picked out for me. I had to fight off my husband. I’ll tell him we’ll have to go up to Katie’s area on a trip so he can pick out one for himself, instead. I bet he takes me up on it.
Number Three in the package is something special and personal that Katie knew I would appreciate. Katie knows I am a huge public library fan. I am always calling her ‘my favorite librarian’. She wrote: ‘I struggled over the paper item. I finally decided to send one of the last of the Library Lady Cookbooks. You are one person who truly appreciates your library and I thought you would enjoy reading the excerpts from the ladies’ minutes over the years. This book was originally printed in 1948, again in 1988, and in 1998 we added recipes and new pictures for the final reprint’. Katie, I’m honored. I’ve already shared one of the recipes on Discussions. Most of the recipes seem to be intact from the period and I can easily update the ones I want to tweak. Mostly they evoke the warmth of a different era. I love thumbing through and reading the notes!
Here is what the book looks like inside. Katie also sent some local visitor magazines:
Here is the package all together:
THANK YOU Katie! I love it all!
* Adele/catlover sent me the Turkey cannon in another swap. Now I have a solution for when I want to make two chickens!

| Jessy, you really cleaned up. I love the pottery chicken cooker. Today's potters are getting quite creative in what they produce, like the dipping plate that Janet sent to me. No more limiting themselves to coffee mugs! The color is very pretty, and nice to have the bbq sauce ready to go. The spatula is a piece of art. Love the cookbook. I'm a library lover, too.I'm president of the board of my library. We also have a cookbook that was put together back in the 70's and recently reprinted. I wish I'd included that in my swap box. Good going, Katie! |

| It all looks awesome! I've pulled recipes for beer can chicken but never made it (at least not yet), but that dish is really beautiful (and inspiring)! Great Blue! and the colors in the zebra wood... Wow!! And the Library Ladies' Cookbook- with 50 years of contributions - looks great, too!! Nice Job Katie! |

| I can attest to how good the bbq sauce is! And the chicken cooker is fabulous. Jessy, Katie knows that her area is one of my favorite places. You would be doing yourself a favor visiting! |

| You put together a great swap package Katie! I'm intrigued by the beer can chicken bowl. I've only ever seen them done on the bbq, but I would love to see how it comes out in that bowl. The zebrawood spatula is gorgeous as well. Enjoy your lovely gifts Jessy, we'll be looking forward to seeing recipes from your new cookbook! Bri |

Wow, I've never been a fan of Beer Can Chicken, but that beautiful chicken roaster might change my mind. That is really unique. I like the fact that it catches all the drippings so you could easily make gravy too.
The wooden spatula is a gorgeous piece of wood. Better hide it from DH Jessica. And I'll bet there are some wonderful recipes in that cookbook. I hope you will share some of them with us. Great swap box Katie. Ann |

| I just love that spatula, both beautiful and useful, a perfect piece of kitchen equipment. The color of that platter is equally beautiful, and I'll be watching for Jessica to post recipes from that book. Oh, and Katie, how much did it cost you to take "the kid" swap shopping, LOL. Annie |

| Katie, you done good! ;-) I love the beautiful colors in the spoon. I'd be one that would put it away and not use it... The roaster is not only beautiful but very cool in that it catches the drippings. Great idea! Jessica, I can't wait to see and hear about some of the recipes in your wonderful new cookbook. |

| Fabulous! Reprinted old cookbooks have such great recipes...definitely tried and true! The wooden spatula is beautiful - and cooking a chicken using your new pottery is priceless! Congratulations on a great swap - maria |

| That chicken cooker is not only beautiful (I love that shade of blue) but very unique! I've never seen anything like it before, You'd have to fight me offf for that wooden spatula, too, Jessy! And regional cookbooks are so much fun! Katie packs a great swap box! Linda |

| I too love beer can chicken!..so that cooking bowl is amazing!!!!! Oh and I looked close at the tag on that zebrawood spatula..and it's made just an hour plus north of me..in Ferndale..I recognized the area code as MINE..LOL so looked closer...
Jessy, can you give me the email address..I'm want to email and find out where I can look at his art work in person!!! |

That bowl is so cool. Talk about the perfect thing to cook a chicken in. I'll buy one in a heartbeat if I ever see one. I had to laugh when I saw the magazines. My best friend in tech school when I was in the service was from Sandpoint. He and I had my only involuntary visit to a police station in Lake Village Arkansas in 1975. If your ever there don't flash your high beams at a Chicot County police officer.
Very nice package Katie. |

| That bowl is a beautiful blue. I can't believe such a lovely thing is a beer-up-the-butt chicken cooker! LOL, Katie wherever did you find such a thing? You must have been jumping up and down on that find! Too awesome. |

| That cooker is really cool, but that spatchula is really something else. Handmade stuff is just the best! Enjoy it Jessy. |
