Double Strength Vanilla 11 fl oz Watkins Vanilla is made from the world's finest Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, brewed using the process we perfected over the course of a century. Our blending of ingredients makes the flavor bake-proof and freeze-proof as well as double-strength.
Cinnamon 170 g/6 oz Tin Our award winning high-oil Korintje Cassia Cinnamon has been a part of family rituals like Thanksgiving pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies for more than 100 years. Make it a part of yours; you'll see what all the fuss is about.
Pepper 340 g/12 oz Tin When it comes to the world's most important spice, you might as well use the best. Watkins only uses top quality Malabar and Lampong peppercorns that are carefully screened to eliminate fillers and stems. These screened peppercorns are then granulated using our exclusive process that creates less friction and retains their high essential oil content.

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest. Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now. The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work. To write with a broken pencil is pointless. When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate. We'll never run out of math teachers because they always multiply. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A. The math professor went crazy with the blackboard. He did a number on it. The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground. The dead batteries were given out free of charge. If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory. A dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail. A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. A backward poet writes inverse.
ENTER OCTOBER CONTEST Thanks for reading my newsletter and entering each month. Please don't quit; you might be next month's winner!
The prize for October's contest is our Holiday Sprinkles. Decorating cookies during the holidays is a wonderful tradition. There's nothing like decorating freshly baked cookies right from the oven. The sprinkles include candy canes, snowflakes, and holly berries. To enter October's contest please email or snail mail me your favorite holiday cookie recipe, whether it's for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Email your cookie recipe with your name and address to eleisiawhitney@watkinsonline.com with "October Contest - Virtual Cookie Exchange" in the subject line. Make your life the best it can be. Eat nutritious foods, exercise, love, and laugh!
Instead of throwing away small amounts of leftover vegetables or rice, place in ziploc freezer bags and freeze. Then add to soup.
I tend to use my slow cooker or crock pot more during the fall and winter months. I'm going to include at least one slow cooker recipe in each issue, so dust off your slow cookers and get ready to simmer! If you have a favorite slow cooker recipe, email me and I will share it with our subscribers.
Greek Chicken Pitas (Slow Cooker Recipe)
1 onion, diced Place onion and garlic in a slow cooker; set aside. Sprinkle chicken with seasonings; place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high setting for 6 hours. Stir together yogurt, sour cream and cucumber in a small bowl; chill. Fill pita halves with chicken and drizzle with yogurt sauce. Makes 4 sandwiches.
Slow Cooker Decadent Chocolate Nut Clusters Package in pretty tins for holiday gifts.
32 oz jar unsalted peanuts or your choice of nuts Put in the crock pot in the order listed; cook on Low 2-3 hours. Stir and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. They will harden without putting in the refrigerator. Number of servings: 70 pieces Howling Candy Corn Cookie Bark
16 Halloween Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, coarsely chopped
 Homemade Pumpkin Puree Recipe Many pumpkin recipes begin with pumpkin puree. Here's how to make puree from new pumpkins.
Pumpkin Muffins
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Equipment: 12 foil or paper muffin liners; a muffin pan with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups If you don't have paper muffin liners, lightly butter the muffin pan cups.
Pumpkin Cookies
1 cup Shortening Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream shortening and sugar. Mix in pumpkin, eggs, and molasses. Stir in dry ingredients, spices and raisins. Drop by the spoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Spiced Pumpkin Fudge
3 cups Sugar In heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk, pumpkin and spice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until mixture reaches 234 degrees F (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in butterscotch morsels. Add marshmallow creme, nuts and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Quickly pour into buttered 13 x 9 inch pan, spreading just until even. Cool at room temperature Cut into squares. Store tightly wrapped in refrigerator. Yields 3 pounds. Pumpkin Pancakes
1 cup All Purpose Flour Combine dry ingredients and spices in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together, pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and vegetable oil. Stir mixture into dry ingredients. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a greased griddle and cook until golden brown. Serve with syrup. Makes: 12-16 pancakes Top with a spoonful of whipped cream.
 Blue Jays love peanuts. This Jay is inside a peanut feeder designed especially for squirrels. I have one of these feeders in my backyard. This picture was taken by another bird watcher, Betty Jean of Greenwood, Indiana. The Western Blue Jays and Stellars Jays that visit my backyard often peck at the jar when they see that it contains peanuts but none of them have ventured inside. Picture from August 2007 Birds and Blooms Newsletter Visit my birdwatching blog California Birdwatching for pictures of my backyard friends.
Top 25 bird lists by state and region for the 2005-2006 season are now online. Map of FeederWatch Count Sites
