Baskets can include keepsake items that the recipient can enjoy for years after the foods are

gone. Other items can be picture frames, a sympathy gift book or some type of plaque.

Now THAT’S a foodie!  Teach him to give her anything but the very best for her family.   I would have given a lot to taste the dinner she cooked that night.  Such passion for food.  It was marvelous.
