i'm not exactly sure when i became obsessed with these delightful jars, but i did. maybe it was in a dream and the idea stuck in my head. perhaps being fearful of a larger commitment, i had my eye on the 4 oz jars. i just knew i had to have them. but, being very cheap, i knew i did not need to have them at the crazy price Von's was charging. after much research on the internet i learned you could get them for a song from Ball's website, but the shipping was as much as the jars. i was not to be deterred. more searching ensued and i found the golden hawk. ace hardware's website sold them and would ship them for FREE to a local store! nothing beats free. i quickly ordered them and picked them up a week later. (btw, i heartily recommend ace hardware for ordering and picking up in store.)i stared at them for a minute when i picked them up, so the guy behind the counter must have sense a problem and asked if everything was ok. i replied, 'oh everything is wonderful. i am just so excited. you made my day'. what a nerd. anyway, avocados are on sale this week. i can't wait to make guacamole and hand out little yummy summer gifts.
