If Birds Eye, as merstar suggests, is the one in the foil-covered box, that's the one we use.

Thin it out with stock and make soup. Add sauteed onions, shredded chicken, cooked chick peas. Dunk grilled cheese sandwiches or just plain toasted bread.

This might be too late because a nice, ripe avocado usually needs time on your kitchen counter, but you might find some that are ready to go.

Chocolate-Avocado Pudding. My brother calls it Chocacado Pudding. There are lots of recipes on line, but it's basically ripe avocado, cocoa powder, vegan sweetener if you want, and either water or coconut or almond milk. Whiz in a blender until smooth. Add more liquid until you get pudding.

You can serve plain or top with fresh fruit, granola, or slivered nuts. You'll be surprised that you can't really pick out the avocado flavor. I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder. The first recipe I used called for a banana, but I think that was a flavor distraction so left it out after that.

Maybe just make a small batch as a taste taste for your hostess and make something else as your main contribution.

I just visited the La Tienda web site, and the oil is on sale for $14.80. It's 8.45 oz.

I got some from La Tienda, Spanish import store. It's delicious. The bottle is small and it's $18.50, but they often have free shipping, especially now around the holidays. Use as a finishing oil for chicken or baked sweet potato.

Some of my friends return empty jars to me to fill up for the next year. I hated trying to get the labels off. Now I put the label on the lid since you can't reuse them anyway. Unscrew the ring, put the identification label on, rescrew the ring. I often use blank address labels with holiday artwork or fruit Just the right size for a jelly/jam jar lid. They also work great on mini tea breads that are wrapped for the freezer (because sometimes you just want to save something for February or March after the cookie frenzy dies down).

And I agree with other posters that it's nice to include some ideas for use.

You could also rent. You'd be surprised how reasonable that is. If you do, ask about their breakage insurance. For a few bucks, it covers you if something is chipped or broken. They also have flatware. We've rented a couple of times. You pick up, and all you have to do is rinse well and repack in the containers they give you. One time we had a chipped plate, and the insurance paid for itself. Check out their patterns online.

When we've done soup parties, we don't worry about them all being matchy-matchy. 8 of this, 6 of this. Also, you could hit up friends and family for a set of 6 or 8 bowls. If you don't have too many people, a quick sink wash will keep the clean pile stocked.

Or it could be called "One Buck Truck" or "One Buck Food Truck."

Portions would be small, I'm thinking, but even if one customer bought three or four items, $4 for lunch is a good deal.

@melissalara01 couldn't you just gargle with it and spit it out? Sounds good to me as I always go for a mug of very salty hot water for a gargle at the first signs of a tickled throat. Kicks the cold out completely or lessens its intensity. I'm going for the foursome next time! Thanks for the tip.

Ammonia works on glass and stainless steel pans. Fill with straight ammonia or as straight as you can given the volume of the pan, let sit even overnight to dissipate the fumes, then scrub with an old (but cleaned) toothbrush and a few toothpicks to get in the grooves. Use the soaking liquid to mop a floor.

Also, for oven racks that can't go through the self-clean cycle on your stove, put them in a garbage bag, pour in a cup or two of ammonia, tie closed, put outside on the lawn or driveway, or as I do in the bathtub. Leave overnight. Next day, everything hoses off, maybe with a little help from another recycled toothbrush. It's cheaper than oven cleaner and is a great cleaner for walls and floors.

Soak your old toothbrushes in straight ammonia or Clorox to sanitize, then put in the flatware section in your dishwasher.

Dog treats cut with a bone cookie cutter. Bags of granola or trail mix.

Thanks, eaguk, for the link. Yes, I did read that some violets are more fragrant than others, and that some actually have more of a vegetable flavor. I'm going to chalk this experiment up to our having a long stretch of rainy weather and no sunshine. I notice this happens with strawberries. They get nice and plump with a lot of rain, but without sunny days as well, they're tasteless.

Most of the baked goods that say Easter to me are rich, buttery, sugary and and eggy breads that are a treat after weeks of serious fasting. Hot cross buns, yeast doughs, that sort of thing.

I'm including this link to Martha Stewart's Bird's Nest Cookies because you were specifically looking for cookies.
