I had ordered several items from the Almanac for X-Mas gift back in November 2009. I received my package in early December but the Recipe Calendar was missing. I called them in early December and again in mid December. I still have not received the Calendar and now it is February. All I can say is think twice before you order anything If I here from them I'll let everyone know.

I have submitted your request to the Old Farmer's Almanac Editors, to see IF they can find it in their vaults.
Most welcome.
My collie stuck her beautiful long nose into the tall grasses and ZAP, the skunk got her! Somehow she got her eyes closed in time.
Tomato juice worked very well, although it makes for a second bath.
