Great Gift Ideas

                                         Hi, I found these ideas watching HGTV. I hope           you like them as much as I did.

                                Flavored Oils

                                         First you need to buy some really nice bottles with
                                         stoppers or corks. Craft stores or cooking stores
                                         would be most likely to carry them.

                                         Take a combination of fresh herbs, usually 2 at a
                                         time, and heat them in hot olive oil. Carefully,
                                         take the herbs out of the pan and ease them
                                         down into the bottles. Then using a funnel
                                         pour oil in all the way the top and cover.

A good combination of herbs would be rosemary
and garlic cloves. It is great drizzled over fish.

                                          Thyme, garlic cloves and lemon zest are
                                          wonderful also.

                                          Use your imagination with the herbs. Let them
                                          for a couple of weeks and then use them or
                                          give them as gifts.

Rose Bath OIl

                                          You'll need more lovely bottles for this one.
                                          Gather rose petals, rub them together with your
                                          fingers and shove them inside bottle. Make
                                          some lemon zest and push it into the bottle too.
                                          Fill the bottle with mineral oil and let rest for a few
                                          weeks. This is a delightful treat in the bath.
