Many thanks to my secret Santa MFNLaw, who sent me a wonderful assortment of international foodie items including a rack with bottles of flavored olive oil and balsamic vinegar, caviar, seafood rub, and peppermint candy. Also a beautiful pair of wine goblets that are now occupying a place of honor front and center in my china cabinet.
I'll be in my bunk.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2005: the Year of the Penguin
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2005? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Alas, I have nothing in the apartment to season with the seafood rub and oil & vinegar, hence my journey to the land of Schrodinger's Waitress tonight. I'd better lay in more supplies of a staple variety to accentuate with those flavorful goodies before having lots of friends over.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Yay! It got there, and nothing was broken, I assume.
I'm so glad you like it. When I saw the fig-infused balsamic vinegar, I knew you had to have it.
My apologies for its tardiness, but I hope it was worth the wait!

It would make a yummy vinagrette.
For New Year's my friend Traci made a figs stuffed with chorizo and wrapped in bacon, then broiled. SO bad for you, but very, very tasty.
