happy holidays to everyone!

i was reading a dr thread about what foodie things people got for the holidays. as i thought about that question, i realized that cavin and i got a bunch of foodie-related things as well. i'm pretty excited that we got these things, and i have to thank everyone for all the thought that went into the presents we received. here's a list:

1. bread maker (maybe we can now start pumping out the banana chocolate chip walnut bread)
2. subscription to saveur magazine
3. my life in france by julia child
4. what einstein told his cook by robert wolke
5. subscription to gourmet magazine
6. henkel's santuko 7 1/2" knife
7. oxo good grips dough scraper
8. variety of spices from penzeys
9. memories of philippine kitchens cookbook
10. homemade cookies
11. matching apron and pot holder

as we speak, i'm making chicken adobo using the new bay leaves we just got. i used the new knife to dice the onion (it's so sharp!) and after i eat, i'm going to start the julia child book. i live a wonderful life!
