Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Except for Santa (and other gift-bringers), no one knows exactly what will be waiting under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. I'm not one to want to ruin the surprise, so I don't shake boxes, trying to guess what is in each package, before they are ready to be opened. Instead, I'd rather think about some of the great gifts I got in previous years (as well as family, friends, world peace, etc.) and hope that this year will be similarly successful.
What are some of your kitchen highlights from past Christmases? And what are you hoping to find under the tree this year? Anything kitchen or cooking related is always welcome as far as I'm concerned, but a few new baking books wouldn't hurt, nor would some flavored salts, fancy vanilla extracts or other specialty ingredients. Last year, I really enjoyed my aebelskiver pan, a specialty pan for making little Danish pancakes, and a selection of coffee from Terroir.

Also, bird feeders for the cats. Mrow.
I think last year, I got a hand mixer. Prior to that, I whipped cream by hand. Oh my god, I am never doing that again. It took fifteen minutes.

Years past great gifts - an onion blossom maker, a french fry cutter, a new meat grinder, an electric juicer.
Years past not so good gifts - a tupperware orange peeler, a really cheap set of plastic bowls, two plastic collanders, Mother's old cast gridiron.
Merry Christmas to all!

for Christmas and to remember the real gifts come from
the heart, also, why there is a Christmas in the first
place.
