 I came back one time, and found a small corked bottle with clear
 liquid.  No one was there to offer explanation, so I opened it,
 smelled it (no real appreciable smell) and then tasted it.  It was
 clove-infused oil.
 This is really a wonderful gift, but I have no clue what to do with
 it.  Any suggestions?

	How lovely! And I can imagine many different things to use this
for/in......... The obvious one for a cook is of course as a flavoring oil--in
cookies, cakes, even a bit in spiced drinks, you name it! But it would also be
a good addition to a massage oil mixture--clove is a effecive topical
painkiller (Clove oil was a standard treatment for a toothache for many years,
after all.). I might well put a bit in a healing salve for similar reasons.
Take a look in a good herbal under "Cloves" and you'll probably come up with a
number of ideas of your own! :-)
