Doy Bags are great!


I have been wanting to write about Doy Bags ever since I discovered them on Bread,Water,Salt and Oil back at the end of October. I was impressed with the efforts of the women who have built up a business and are the main bread winners for their family so I immediately ordered three of the large tote bags. However, because I was giving two of them to my girls for Christmas, I didn't want to spoil the surprise so I've waited until now to tell you about them. It was quite funny because as soon as Beccy saw my bag, when she came shopping with me on Christmas Eve, she immediately said "did you get me one of those"!!
I don't know what you think but to me this is a brilliant way to recycle some of our packaging and provide a living for a women's cooperative in the Philippines. Take a look at the link and let me know what you think.

The other thing I bought for all of us was this little book on vinegar. What's so special about vinegar I hear you say~ but actually it is an interesting little book. Not only does it give the history of vinegar, (did you know it has been around for 10,000 years), it also tells you about it's many practical uses.


I thought it might be interesting to share these uses with you on the bottom of my posts~ is this a good idea or not? let me know.
Here's a little quiz to see how much you know about.........
How many types of vinegar are described in this book and can you name some of them? If I get a good response I might even give a small prize for the person who gets closest~no getting the answers from Sam or Beccy!!!
