Thank you, Diana!! It is so nice to hear when somebody likes it. I have been demonstrating the pastry cloth all day at Kaye's Gifts in OKC and having so much fun visiting with people. I just want to encourage everybody to get back to cooking in the most pleasant and humorous way possible!!

I had the most amazing weekend at Kaye's Gifts Christmas Open House on S. Western in Oklahoma City (riday and Saturday). If you ever get a chance to come to Oklahoma City, be sure and go by there - you have to. The three ladies are just precious and the store is just as cute as a button. So much neat stuff you could spend hours. Lots of mixes, made in Oklahoma products, jams, relishes, etc. Just too much to even list. Met hundreds of lovely people and got to talk about what I love - cooking! The Oklahoma Pastry Cloth™ was a hit as was my blueberry cobbler made with Shawnee Mills Blueberry Muffin mix. Two huge pans of it disappeared! Introduced the child's gift set and I loved watching the children's reactions to it. I'll have photos of the store and its lovely proprietor and helpers on the blg next week.

Another Mary Beth!! We are a special group indeed because there are not many of us. All of my sisters have double names as well. Good ol' Southern tradition!!
The Oklahoma Pastry Cloth™ has been around for 25 years, but not for sale - not until friends suggested that I might think about becoming an entrepreneur!! You must have another kind. However, I am sure that it hasn't got the "Okie Spirit" sewn into its threads!!! Can I giggle there? :-)

I've never been to the Pacific Northwest, although my parents lived in Ashland, Oregon while my father taught at the college there a number of years ago. I hear it is beautiful. I have lived all over other parts of the country, however, (born an Okie though!) and it is my opinion that every single part of our country has its own beauty. The quiet wildflowers and trickling streams of the Smokies to the desert cactus flowers of New Mexico and Arizona - the muted mountains of Maine (like that alliteration?)and the jagged peaks of Colorado to the flat prairies of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska - it's all breathtaking. But I'll bet you never dreamed that Oklahoma has this (see photo below)!! I took this a few weeks ago near Talihina, OK. God's creation is indeed spectacular!!
Your Okie Farm Girl sister,

I'm intrigued by the pastry cloth idea. I have a great pie crust recipe but it is a bear to roll out and not get it falling apart. Normally, I roll it in waxed paper to make it easier but this might be easier yet.

I started making my pastry cloths because I was so tired of the wax paper and plastic mats. I make homemade noodles and they have to be rolled paper thin - a total disaster on wax paper and plastic mats. And my pie crust stuck to the wax paper and mats as well. I came up with this kind of pastry cloth because I wanted it to last forever, I wanted a heavy surface that wouldn't slide as I rolled and I wanted to be able to cut my noodles on it. So, the Oklahoma Pastry Cloth™ was created!!

Deadlines are looming! 12/16 is the last day to register for the free Christmas gift basket.
And because everything is done by hand, 12/10 is the last day to order Christmas Gift Baskets and 12/15 is the last day for general Christmas orders if you want them to reach you by Christmas! Get your order in early! And have a great week.

On the road and in Atlanta. I always thought that it was Hotlanta...not this week! :-) So many cool stores and lovely antique shops.
I just uploaded the latest blog post/recipe that I hope you can use for your Christmas meal. Our favorite sandwich bread - it's light and just a hint of sweet. http://www.oklahomapastrycloth.com/blog I hope everyone has an absolutely blessed Christmas and that it is a time for you to center down with family.
Thank you so much for the support in this, my first year of business. It has been exciting and fun and I look back over the year in amazement. God is so good and I give Him the glory!
Happy baking and by way of an Oklahoma blessing, "May your Christmas buns not expand too much." ;-)

OK, so this is Oklahoma...we aren't supposed to have blizzards. But we did! What a Christmas!! Just thought I'd share photos of the white out conditions and the results thereof. We had 40-60mph winds and a record 14.1 inches of snow in a matter of hours. It was incredible.
Yep..ol' man winter came to visit Oklahoma and appears to be here to stay. I think I'm going to be doing lots of baking!

You would think that Washington State would get more than lil' ol' Oklahoma!! Of course we ARE the place "where the wind comes whistlin' down the plain." :-)

Sounds like Oklahoma! The eastern side has mountains (see photos above) and plenty of precip while the western side is flat as a flitter and dry as a bone. The western side is where the dust bowl took place. There are still sand/dirt dunes all over out there, and up where my son lives in Alva. Geography is a strange and wonderful thing! :-)

McLoud is near Oklahoma City in the central part of the state. Spiro is in the east central part of Oklahoma, near the mountains in the pictures that I posted above. I looked in the white pages and noticed that there are a number of Strains in Spiro.

And by the way folks, speaking of Marybeth and Washington state, it's my pleasure to let you know that Marybeth from Washington state, a True Blue Farmgirl, is the winner of the December/Christmas Oklahoma Pastry Cloth giveaway. Her name was randomly drawn from entries from all over the country. She is receiving the basket of goodies featured in a photo on page 3 of this topic of posts. Look for our next giveaway and perhaps you will be our next winner! And no, it had nothing to do with her name!!:-)
