Can you believe that Christmas has come and
gone? Our Christmas Open House was a huge success!
We are already planning for next year. I have included
some pictures from the weekend. Our porch was beautiful
with the addition of our old wicker sleigh with lights, and shepherd's
hook with old lantern and candle. It will be hard to top
this next year, but we are trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The days of wine and roses".......
We have wine, we have wine, we have wine. We are now carrying Laurel Mountain Winery wine. It is wonderful. We even have wine baskets that we can design especially for you. Laurel Mountain wine is made locally in Falls Creek, PA (12 miles from us), and they have a wonderful variety. I must admit, the Mountain Mist and the Ruby Red are my favorites, not to mention the Raspberry. Rose`. You can check them out on line at www.laurelwines.com. You can always stop by the shop and sample, and order a
gift basket with wine in it.
MY NEW BEST FRIEND IS OSCAR – VEAL OSCAR THAT IS. AS IN THE VEAL OSCAR AWARD THAT I WON FOR MY RASPBERRY HEAT n' SWEET DIPPING AND WING SAUCE AT ROBERT IRVINE’S GOURMET FOOD SHOW. THE VEAL OSCAR SAYS "BEST WING SAUCE FOR 2006".
You can see my Oscar here! He’s gold on a marble base, but has a chef’s jacket and toque on. Tim Allen of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” made the presentation, as you can see on the HISTORY PAGE. The inscription says “Best Wing Sauce 2006, Carriage House Creations.” Isn’t that wonderful???????????????
I have recently added a new product:: Chocolate Raspberry Chipolte Pepper Sauce for ice cream. Can you believe that? Adding hot peppers to chocolate and raspberry? It is wonderful. I introduced it at the Great Taste of Wine and Food Festival (in the Poconos) at the end of June, and I was sold out of a case by 3:00pm on Saturday. The festival started at noon!. I plan to serve it at our open house by taking a melon baller and scooping out little balls of ice cream into a souffle cup. Add the Chocolate Raspberry Chipolte Sauce and a dash of whipped cream. Top with a pretzel stick and a spoon. What more could you want? Hot, sweet, salty, all in one. What a treat. I also tried it in a Chicken Mole.
The recipe section of our web-site has changed. Please check it out. Now, our recipes are arranged with hyperlinks and arranged like a cookbook. I am always trying new ideas for using our product, and am starting to include pictures. I hope to do better in the future. I also bought a new camera!!!!
