Yes, Ann, Paris Gourmet is in NJ. You can access their website http://www.parisgourmet.com.
However, you might also try Sahadi, 187 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201 http://www.sahadis.com for well priced good fruit and nuts and spices.

Hi sister! you replied to me before regarding where you get your supplies. I just want to ask you if the paris gourmet you are talking about is the one in Carlstadt, NJ. My aunt and I are planning to go there. Thanks again

If you want to ramp up the flavour even further add 1 tbsp. of ground cardamon and 1 tbsp. of freshly grated nutmeg.

The best Christmas vacation for me is not to do anything!

Thank you Sister for the lovely cookie recipes! This one is so inviting!

MM,on another note, I made the porchetta using the recipe in your blog. It was sooo good! I had it once in Bologna and the one I made came close…8/10.

I saw on the Today show that an average weight gain over the holidays is 6 lbs. No one mentioned loss, hehe. So while I still consider it unfair that MM and sister have lost some lbs., I understand. I can’t keep still when I’m in the kitchen cooking/baking. I forget to eat too! But darn, didn’t lose any. As long as we enjoyed the holidays, it was worth it. =)

myra and sister, I am happy to report I lost a good 4-5 pounds in December as well due to so much activity. But I gained back two pounds in the last week! :)

With all theses cookie recipes coming online after the holidays, I think I know in which direction my scale will be going this January!

I too lost some weight over the holidays….perhaps due to worrying more about whether my ensaumada would rise or not. In any case , I never baked and cooked so much in my lifetime and now I am scrambling to do my packing for a 3 month holiday in Pinas . I really hate this website, he, he.

myra_p, It’s just a question of how much energy one expends versus the number of calories consumed…
