I sent IIsebet a private email on this, but having been laid off  
several times since 2004 and currently looking for a new job, I've  
learned a few helpful ideas in looking for a new job. If anyone else  
is in this same boat, feel free to email me and I'll pass on what  
I've learned.

What is your recipe for your spiced honey butter? How do you keep it  
from going bad? Do you can it? Or just make it close to when you give  
it and recommend folks use it quickly?

Here are some other ideas from previous discussions:
