(out of Concord) http://www.delicioushealthycookies.com/ Tyler's Sweet Revenge - best pepper jellies and more. http://www.tylerssweetrevenge.com/ Better Than Freds Salsa - out of derry (can you tell I love salsa and hots) - http://www.betterthanfreds.com/ Fox Smoke House - in canterbury. http://oldehousesmokehouse.com/about.php There were more but these we bought from. Did anyone else enjoy the show and find new goodies? Great new gift ideas too. Thu Apr 10 08:19:49 -0700 2008 49588 lexpatti 1 3587492 Thanks for the report. I remember seeing the web site after searching for Premier Palette, which was one of the best categories a few years ago. Of course, I forgot all about it... Market Basket used to sell Better Than Fred's until just a short time ago. It had become my favorite of the chunky cooked salsas. They stopped carrying it - God forbid they should carry a quality product for a while and give it a chance for customers to start picking up. Now their shelves are full of Chi-Chi's and Old El Paso - ie, the SOS. (Although I really like the new smooth Mexican style Old El Paso - esp the Chipotle). I'll have to try and remember next year.

Last weekend, made two shows - NE Paddle Show (picked up two kayaks, can't wait to go), then Made in NH. There is just too much going on. :-) Sat Apr 12 18:26:40 -0700 2008 3588220 49588 lexpatti 3 3900675 At least start a blog of what you did over the weekend! I always enjoy your posts.
