The Tupperware Chop 'N Prep™ Chef.

Tupperware Corkscrew and Wine Accessoeries Set
My husband put away his expensive "rabbit-ear" cork extractor in favor of this corkscrew!  The foil cutter is really sharp and although we never have left over wine :o), I know those who do, love being able to "vacuum seal" their open bottles with the reuseable cork & pump.

Tupperware Chef Series™ Santoku Knives
These are my new favorite knives!  They are well balanced, very sharp and make slicing a cinch.  They are at an incredible price point for professional quality knives!

Don't forget, these offers are available by phone order only!



Fun, Giftable Ideas

Here are a couple of cute ideas for gift-giving this Halloween & on into the Christmas season.  I have them decorated for Fall/Halloween, but you could certainly wrap them up in green and red for Christmas or blue for Hanukkah. Think teacher gifts, office exchanges, Secret Pal, drop in Holiday guests. 

The tall containers are Tupperware's Spaghetti Dispensers.  These are one of my favorite TW products!

The special insert allows for easy spaghetti pouring and measuring. Great for breadsticks too! Contents stay fresh and quantities visible. Clear container with choice of seal color, Passion (red) or Brilliant Blue.  The cost is $11.00.  Capacity/Size: 4 ¾-cups (1.1 L); 11 ¼"H x 3 ½"Dia. (28.5 x 9 cm)

They are made to look like sand art.  The container on the right is filled with Sand Art Brownie Mix, and the one on the left is Best Bean Soup.  The directions and an accompanying poem are on the cards attached.  You'll also notice that the soup container has one of our Tupperware Midget containers with the soup seasoning attached.

Cute, even if I do say so myself! (o:

The Pumpkin Poop is just candy corn, purchased in individual bags, stapled to a poem card.  I used a baggie here, but I would definitely use a couple of the little pre-packaged bags to avoid any worries for parents of your little ghosts & goblins!

Like these ideas? Here's your chance to have the "recipes" and poems for yourself.  Become a Follower of Today's Organized Kitchen blog, leave a comment that you have done so, and I'll send them out to you as my gift.  Please note: These will come in the form of an attached Word document.  This will allow you to design your own cards.  If you are already a follower, just leave me a comment and I'll get them out to you, too!

Enjoy!  Chris

Home-Made Cream Cheese

I decided to try my hand at making my own cream cheese since I needed the whey that is a by-product of the process to make sauerkraut.  I have to say that both the cream cheese AND the sauerkraut were delicious!

It's really so easy.  Well, except for the first step!  Which is, finding anything but low fat buttermilk!  (Fortunately, I have since found a couple of places that carry whole buttermilk and also raw milk. Yay!) 

I was determined to make the cream cheese, so I used the low fat buttermilk anyway.  The result was very tasty, even if not as good as it will be in the future, when I use the whole buttermilk.

Step 1: 

I placed a colander over a glass bowl to collect the whey.  I placed several layers of cheesecloth in the colander and poured the quart of butter milk into the cheesecloth.  I covered it with another layer of cheesecloth to keep out any critters that might happen by.  I let this sit overnight on the counter.

 

Step 2:

First thing next morning, I tied the "cheese" loosely in the cheescloth and hung it on a wooden spoon over the colander.  This was to allow every last bit of whey to drip out.  This sat all day on the counter.

Step 3:

In the evening, I untied the bundle of cheesecloth and scraped the cream cheese into a dish.  This was the second hardest part of the process.  It really wanted to stick to the cheesecloth, and I wanted every last bit of it!

Step 4:

Collect all that wonderful whey and place in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator.  It will keep for a month or so.  I've already used most of it for sauerkraut!

Finished Cream Cheese

Below, is the finished cream cheese.  We have had it plain and mixed with fresh thyme and dill from the herb garden.  Delish! 

I really think you should give this a try!  It was easy, fun and I think kids would enjoy the process.  The real benefit is that you get something yummy with no undesireable ingredients! 

And the WINNER is...

We have a winner for our giveaway!  I had my husband draw a name and he chose:

Yum!

I am a BIG FAN of zucchini!  I like it any way it's prepared.  I happened across a recipe for Zucchini & Red Onion Salad on-line and I'm making it tonight! 

Thought it would be a good idea to share.  Some of you may have lots of zucchini.  Mine isn't doing well this year - weird weather I guess.  Thank goodness for the Farmer's Market!

The recipe is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Newsletter and you can access it HERE.  There are 50+ summer squash & zucchini recipes at that link!

Enjoy!  Chris
