I own a small catering service in Brooklyn and will soon be opening a store in Windsor Terrace. I am offering Christmas lunch/dinner prepared and delivered to your home. My meals are locally sourced wherever possible, fresh and deliciously homemade. I will deliver to you in Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn Heights or the immediate vicinity. I specialize in Italian, Spanish or even English food with a continental twist. Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach and a mushroom ragout, redolent with garlic and rosemary are some of the menu selections. Please contact me via email at helen@savorbrooklyn.com and I will be very happy to discuss your individual menu and pricing.

This is the perfect gift for the WNYC listener in need of a freshly cooked homemade special Christmas lunch/dinner and in need of some well earned relaxation on Christmas day.

I can also take orders for other meals or even for your New Years Eve party.

Authentic spanish tapas are one of my very special party offers. Please see my website at www.savorbrooklyn.com for more menu suggestions.

Inspired by our twins turning two-years old, I handcrafted two personalized height charts for them in my home wood shop. The response from anyone who saw them was overwhelming, and I decided to start www.HeirloomGrowthCharts.com.

At www.HeirloomGrowthCharts.com, our growth charts are perfect as wall art for nursery, a great first birthday gift idea for a girl or boy, or great as kids wall décor for that special youth! They also make excellent new Mother's Day gifts!

Our sturdy full-length, heirloom quality decorative wooden growth charts are timeless, recording the legacy of a lifetime long after the whimsical childhood years have gone by. Now, with free shipping, our growth charts are a distinctive way to preserve the special memories, moments and milestones in life!

If any listeners are interested in Heirloom Growth Charts, feel free to contact us at Matt@HeirloomGrowthCharts.com, or at 800-514-1633.
