I am looking for Lipton loose tea in a box. I cannot find it anywhere. I can find only tea bags and, to me, they don't have the aroma or flavor like the loose tea. I have tried Trader Joe's, Winco and even health food stores. Can anyone help me?

Homemade gifts are an easy way to lend a personal touch to holiday giving. A gourmet cook will enjoy exploring uses for these preserved lemons. (Tom Sweeney / Minneapolis Star Tribune)

• Tower's French toast, oui?: I love the French toast served at the Tower Cafe, but I can't get there as often as I would like. Does anyone have the recipe?

• More jam, less sugar: I enjoy your column very much. I do a lot of canning of vegetables and jams. I am looking for double batches of jam and jelly recipes with less sugar. Thank you.

• Restaurant favorites: I would love to have the tomato and red pepper soup recipe from the Monkey Cat in Auburn.

Also, 10 years ago, we had the most wonderful blueberry muffins at Wolf Coffee House in Santa Rosa. It was yellow and like a sponge cake.

Any help with these recipes would be appreciated.
