Happy New Year everyone.

We finally got all the Christmas decorations put away, shovelled the snow, and finished almost all the cookies and chocolates. So it’s time to start a new year. Resolutions? Don’t even use the word, it has such a negative connotation. 
 Instead, just change up the regular season game plan a bit:

1. 1. Eat well
2. 2. Get enough rest
3. 3. Drink plenty of fluids (not all alcoholic ones).

(It sounds so simple!)

For the New Year’s playoffs :

1. 1. Hold your head up high.
2. 2. Get out! It’s invigorating to face new challenges, even little ones.
3. 3. Notice something beautiful each day – a sunrise, a child’s smile, a piece of music, a good deed.
4. 4. Look out and not in. Open your arms wide and something wonderful will result.

We’ll do the same here, and in the meantime, we wish you the very best for the year - good health, good appetites, and much happiness.

This Holiday Season...

Although we all succumb to the hustle and bustle of Christmas, it’s a small price to pay for the privilege of sharing the holidays with those who mean so much to us. Many traditions are played out at this time of year, but the best one is the gathering of our families. All the commotion seems insignificant once our loved ones are together.

We hope this holiday season brings you the warmth and support of family and friends, and may the New Year bring you great health and much happiness.

Why do we throw dinner parties?

If you think about it, we do it so that we can share time with our friends and loved ones. To create memories around and beyond the dinner table. To find an excuse to invite over the people who add something spectacular to our lives. No matter how many parties you’ve thrown, you’re always a bit shocked when guests compliment the cooking and atmosphere. Why does it surprise us? Because that’s the power of a compliment - it reminds us that we’re capable of good things.

Though we’re not able to throw dinner parties that often for our fans, we try to make up for it by hosting Grocery Giveaway. We recently sent out $300 gift cards to 30 lucky Canadians, and we received a lovely comment that we wanted to share with all of you. We asked Chris what she was going to do with her prize, and she wrote:

"Groceries...and lots of them.  I have two wonderful young adult sons still home with me...going to school and all that fun stuff.  So being a male dominated household, we buy meat.... We'll splurge on some fun groceries too.
So thank you to you for the gift and to ET TU for making a great product...oh yes we will be buying some salad dressing products as well :-) "

Thank you Chris for sharing that note with us. We hope the men in your house were kind enough to share! We’re glad that you’re a fan of ET TU and don’t forget to buy lettuce for those salad kits!

The ET TU Team!

Speaking of heroes... lest we forget.

ET TU salutes the men and women who have sacrificed so dearly for all of us, so that we can be free.  And it is not just those who have gone to war that we salute, but all of the families who have lost loved ones: those who have raised children on their own, those who lost a parent, who lost a child, a sibling, a spouse.  Bless you all – we will not forget.

Please wear a poppy to honour all of our troops...  for those who are still with us and for those who are no longer here.
