THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING...  HELP IS ON THE WAY !!!
December 5, 2005

So... let's face it. You're still not done doing your holiday shopping because you're sick and tired of the 'Maul at the Mall'.

Desert Island Foods has easy holiday gourmet ideas for the cooks and eaters in your life. Get out of the car for good! Why not shop here at our secure, easy to use website in the comfort of your own home and take some stress out of your life! We've got award winning products at great prices, and let's face it- everyone's starting to look at you in a funny way every time you give them a 'soap on a rope'. Even your third cousin Wilbur, who frankly can use it...

Just a reminder, but Desert Island Foods will ship orders until December 23rd. After that, we'll still be answering our phones, the website will still be taking orders, and there will be light blogging at The Pragmatic Chef™, but as you can understand, we'll be taking a break to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. Orders will begin shipping once again on January 5th. Please, if you need your shipment before Christmas, order soon!!!

Here are a few great options we're offering this year:
