Notes from Table 8

What is this? And what do I do with it?

If you've found your way here, you probably have one of our sweet or savory canned goods, or perhaps a bottle of our wine or craft cocktail items. Here is what is in them, and tips on how you might use them.

If you find other uses for them we would love to hear from you.

Yours, Ben and Marj Shomshor
