Discounts, Dogs, and Scones
 
The Three Tomatoes have lots of goodies for good little tomatoes everywhere today. We have a special discount from the best fruit basket gift store in NYC, and maybe the world. We've got our latest sample sales updates. And we've discovered a great web site started by Glenn Close with doggie items, advice, and more. Oh, and those of you who had tea with us last year at Gracie Mansion will remember the fabulous scones. We've got the scoop on where to get the recipe. So read on.
 
Get 15% off The Best Fruit Baskets in and out of New York City
fruit gift basketWe have long loved being on the giving and even better yet, receiving end of the beautiful gift baskets from Manhattan Fruiters. These elegant baskets have wonderful fresh fruit and other luscious goodies.  So we were really excited when owner Jevh Gold told us about their new "Stimulus" gift baskets priced at just $42.  But we were even more excited that he's offering tomatoes an additional 15% discount. "We saw the recession as a challenge to create new gifts that acknowledge these difficult economic times, while also giving people a reason to send an upbeat gift". Each gift basket includes their very own Stimulus Cookies and is hand packed in a split wood hamper and tied with a red, white and blue ribbon. Perfect for any gift giving occasion.  And don't forget Mother's Day is just around the corner. They deliver anywhere across the country. Get more details and the discount code at 3T Shopping.
 
Glenn Close goes to the Dogs
Last week we raved about Glenn Close's performance and clothes in the series, Damages.  Well this week we want to tell you about FetchDog, a web site she launched that features products for your dogs along with terrific advice and tips on adopting, training your pet, and more.  Plus the site features Glenn's blog, Lively Licks where Glenn talks about her own dogs and interviews other celebrity dog lovers. dog collarWe love, love, love this pink alligator collar.  Not to mention the cute dog. And it's only $19. (Dog not included.) Plus, a portion of the sales of many of the featured items go to various charities for pets. Get more details at 3T Shopping.
 

 
Those Gracie Mansion Scones
Last year, The Three Tomatoes and several other tomatoes had tea at Gracie Mansion which included their to-die-for scones. A reader wrote to us recently to ask if we could find the recipe. Well we've got the source, plus four other Gracie Mansion recipes like their chocolate chip cookies too. So tell us again why Mayor Bloomberg doesn't live there? Details at 3T Shopping.

What do you do with fava beans? Well if you're Arthur Schwartz you mix them onions, asparagus, potatoes, and peas to make a delicious spring vegetable dish, or Vignarola as the Italians call it. Get the recipe, but the secret is fresh ingredients.
