Christmas Shopping in FL

[ckreef]

Down in FL at my sister's house for Christmas vacation. Did a little shopping at my favorite store. I'll probably get them in the mail next week. 

Yummy

Awesome! Just curious, but does it say “Veronica Foods” on the back of those bottles? We have a local vendor that sells Veronica Foods oils under their own label — Manassas Olive Oil — and it looks just like that.

Interestingly enough it does say Veronica Foods on the back. Not sure if that's the vinegars, bottles or both. I do know they have all these vinegars in 3 gallon SS kegs and will bottle you up some straight from the kegs.  Then they have some type of machine that corks it and wraps and seals the top like a bottle of wine. 

The peach is awesome and can be sipped straight from the bottle. 

I bought two new flavors to try. The orange vanilla tastes like an orange Creamsicle and should be great as a desert topping. The key lime is very limey and could probably used in a number of different  ways. 

If you can get any of these give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Yes, I get them from my local store. Turns out there are a lot of independent shops that sell Veronica Foods oils and vinegars -- all great stuff! See a partial list here (doesn't list my local shop, for example). "VF" in this list means Veronica Foods.

You got that right. Give me a few days and I'll have a tracking number. I've been waiting 1 year and 1 month to get back to my sister's house.

We have a couple of speciality shops in the area. I'll have to check them out to see if they carry VF. Thanks for the tip.

I saw your Vinegar BBq Sauce on a older post a I tell that was some good sauce. I used the white balsamic and found it on a liquidation sale at the store for 1.99, now you'd think it would be of a lesser quality but it wasn't. I put that ???? on everything and it's great just out of the bottle. Don't know if I ever thanked you so a big thanks and merry Xmas goes out to you! I'd like to visit that store too

[ckreef]

@Tyrus glad you enjoyed the BBQ sauce. We love white balsamic vinegars and use them a lot.  The peach white balsamic makes a really great oil and vinegar salad dressing.

 

Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Charles!

USPS says it will be here Tuesday! Almost like Christmas all over again!

[MacKenzie]

Wowzers, CK, such a fantastic surprise, thanks a million.     

USPS says mine is in PORT CHARLOTTE, FL I will get updates until it hits the Canadian facility and then I won't hear more until I see it in my mailbox. I expect it will take a couple of weeks.

@MacKenzie I'm sure you will love it. I delivered  it to  the post office in Port Charlotte (where my sister lives). I'm sure by tomorrow or the next day it'll start moving along.

Since I finally got down to FL for the good stuff I couldn't leave you all out. Let's see some off the wall uses. I made a peach balsamic daiquiri 2 nights ago

Sounds killer! I was drinking Bellini (peach nectar & prosecco) over the weekend. Your stuff might work, too. Worth a try!

Ordered some stuff for you and Aussie's boxes. Should arrive next week, so I hope to get yours in the mail by week's end.

I was drinking peach Bellini's Christmas eve. Of course I always add a shot of vodka to the glass to give it a bit more kick. After drinking enough of them to finish the full sized bottle of prosecco I was definitely in the festive spirit.

The post office was open today they were closed yesterday go figure. so shipped of the parcels wait till you both get a whiff of the lemon myrtle. Aussie Post tracking is not as exciting as usps though as you know got it it's on its way it's there lol did not pay for signing on delivery so should suit you both

@ckreef - I drank most of the bottle of prosecco myself, after polishing off a bottle of wine with dinner, with a little help from my BIL. So, I was "festive" as well - LOL!! 

@Aussie Ora - Woo, Hoo! USPS acknowledges the tracking number!
