So miss Holly has been on posting fire lately, and the rest of us have been slacking! As she wrote about some awesome food gifts she gave, I’m going to write about some awesome food gifts I received!
My mom gave me a gift certificate to get myself a new crockpot and hand mixer (no more hand whipping eggwhites and cream! This crows bicep is thankful!) So upon my arrival back to the Bay Area I will be zooming to the store to get those- you can be sure some delicious delicacies will follow. Sweet, tender meats, here I come!
My sister gave me such an unexpected and wonderful foodie gift, one I will remember, and savor for a long time. What did she get, you ask? Saffron & vanilla beans- two of the most expensive ingredients one foodie can aquire. I’m so excited! Finally I can make some saffron rice WITH saffron! I will ertainly be waiting until the most brilliant idea comes to me to use these treasures- suggestions are welcome!
Look how beautiful the saffron plant is!
