Spent the morning packing up and setting out Mother’s Day treat packages for shipment. It was a bit of a squeeze, getting them all done in time, and I had to enlist Kevin into cookie-dough making because I was running short on time and getting physically tired, but in the end, we made it. Whew. […]

Packing up the Mother’s Day treat boxes for shipping out tomorrow — this is the medium box. Kevin periodically asks me whether it’s actually worth the amount of time and effort I put into this, and so I feel like I should note for the record that strictly speaking, it isn’t. I have to run

Please order by Monday lunchtime if you’d like them shipped in time for Mother’s Day! (Porch pick-up is also available for

Marshmallows for the Mother’s Day treat packages — passionfruit, vanilla, and rose. I think I’ll have five of these in each package, in one of those long clear sleeves.

Question. When I ship out my home-roasted curry powder in a plastic bag (a cheaper option for me and customers than shipping a jar in a box), it is VERY pungent. People usually like that fine, if they’re ordering curry powder, but it does perfume the entire package, which is a potential issue if they’re
