Prices good from December 1, 2001, and are subject to change without notice.

Prices quoted are in US$ and shipping costs are to the continental U.S. only. We WILL ship outside the United States, but you need to contact us prior to your order to check on shipping prices, and you need to fax in your order rather than use the Kitchen Shop. Duty is YOUR responsibility. The credit card processor will do an automatic rate exchange when we run it.

You have 4 ordering options:

FAX IT TO ME- Print out the order blank, fill out your order and fax it to me at 1-619-469-8092. This is something you can do off line and even pass on to your non-internet friends.

CALL IT TO ME- Print the order blank then call in your order to me between 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. PST (That's California time, folks). If I am not here, leave your name and number SLOWLY on my answering machine. It forwards to my cell after 4 rings, and to my machine after 4 more rings. 1-619-697-7269

EMAIL IT TO ME- Use my online order form to place your order and we will call you on Tuesday night to get your credit card info. DO NOT email your credit card number to me!!! E-mail is not a secure way of corresponding, and anyone attempting shady business could find your number and start charging away, even without your card. PayPal is also a handy way to get funds to me especially if you are overseas. E-mail me for details.

SNAIL MAIL IT TO ME- Print the order form and mail it to me with a check for the total, payable to:

Karen's Kitchen, 2660 Highlands Blvd., Spring Valley, CA 91977

Returns and Refunds Policy -I sell most all products below list prices, so unless the product is damaged in shipping or we have sent you the wrong product, there is a 20% restock fee on any returns (except on the Watkin's Products which are guaranteed direct from Watkin's).

So here you go, start up Aisle 1, look out for the half empty boxes, we are filling the shelves as fast as we can!

---

That is it for now. If there is something that I mention in the Kitchen and you can't find it anywhere else, drop me an e-mail and I will see if it is a product I can carry here in Karen's Kitchen Shop and get it to you. Go ahead and wander on down the aisle now for further product descriptions and prices.

Books, Software and Poster

"A Year in Karen's Kitchen" Cookbook

I didn't mean to write this cookbook, but it was destined to be one, I guess! I thought I could simply PRINT the archived "Menu of the Month" for each month of the first year and sell them individually. WRONG! After finding that my HTML editor doesn't print to my printer, then copying and pasting and finding out that all the editing codes don't transfer but show up as forced carriage returns, THEN making those corrections and seeing other editing mistakes that had gotton by in the first posting, PLUS seeing where I could add some new recipes INCLUDING the elusive Pumpkin Pudding Bread Recipe that never made it to October or November...well, I couldn't resist converting many of the recipe to tables for ease of reading and use. Like many of the simple projects I attempt, it got all out of hand and ended up being my first cookbook and the First Anniversary Edition Collection of recipes!

Even if you have been downloading the "Menu of the Month" since it's first day on the Net, this is a worthwhile purchase. I have added more recipes to it and the tables are really dynamite! The Table of Contents and Index makes it really easy to use.

"A Year in Karen's Kitchen" $19.95

The Poster

Can't remember how much pasta is a carbo block? HOW MANY PEANUTS??? A what size portion of which meat???

 

Okay, using my superior powers of graphics and a fabulous color printer, I have put together a CHART, a POSTER, which has the most commonly eaten foods all set out in single block servings, all in neat and tidy BLOCKS, catagorized by carbs, proteins and fats, then the Best, Fair and Poor choices in each catagory. It is 11"x19", beautifully colored and laminated, ready for hanging on your wall or refrigerator. The back side explains in detail about gramming vs. macronutrients, shows you visually what a block of food is, has a one day menu plan for an 11 block day (and room to add more blocks of food for larger eaters) and has 17 really great, quick and basic recipes, including: The BIG Salad, Fresh Salsa, Colossal Cookies and Cream Cheese Delight, the protein source everyone has been raving over.

Cost: $8

Consulting

If you are from out of town, I would be happy to do a consultation up to one hour, over the phone, for $30. I will compute your lean body mass, your protein needs and help you plan your day and make some menu suggestions. It is almost as good as being here in San Diego! Call (619)697-7269 or e-mail me at karen@karenskitchen.com , or go through the guestbook, and we will set up an appointment. Mail me a check for $30 or I will take your credit card at the time of the consultation. Have your measurements done (waist, hips for women/wrist for men, weight, height) and it will go much faster. If you have a fax number I will even send you day planning charts so we can do some menus together! Remember I am in California, so if you are calling from the east coast , you are 3 hours ahead of me. You may call 8:00a.m. until 5:00 p.m. PST. Special arrangments can be made for evening consults.

Sponges

Alphonso gets into his boat each morning and goes out to the new area he has chosen to harvest from that day. The Bahama sun is clear and bright, the sea is the color of 50's turquoise tile and you can see the bottom of the sea from the edge of the boat. He puts on his snorkel and fins, rolls back over the side and falls into the warm water. With his knife he deftly cuts his harvest of sponges, careful to only choose those that are round and firm, and harvested in such a way that the mother sponge will continue to grow. He puts them into his net bag and heads back to land. Once he arrives he takes his fresh sponges to his shed where he begins the multi-cleaning process by which his beautiful sponges are so well known on the islands. He is meticulous, he is thorough, and when he is done he offers his customer a natural sea sponge of the finest quality available.

My brother in law Ossie is from the islands, and has brought Alphonso's sponges to the states to sell. Now available for the first time, you may purchase these fine sponges in either the 5" or 8" diameter (both approximate). I use the big one in my tub and shower to bathe with, I use the small one in my kitchen, and occassionally to do a sponge painting project with. They are durable, they are a joy to use and own. I like to think about how much longer mine is going to last now that there are 35 pounds less of me to wash than there were 6 months ago!

5" sponge (includes shipping)............................................................................. $8

8" sponge (includes shipping)..............................................................................$12
