Oh! I knew there was something I was forgetting to do last night. My secret santa gift arrived, a package with assorted nummy looking preserves and spreads, a pecan log, and a really cool African animal sculpture carved from a buffalo horn (which is now standing on a bookcase shelf in my front hallway). Thanks Emily!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2008: "...and the horse you rode in on."
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 2008? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

I still don't, officially, know who my own santa was. My guess is Megan Walker.
I confess. Glad you are enjoying it. I was hoping to include pictures of various Bayistas at famous SF sites, but that didn't really pan out.

Oh good. The pecan log is mostly a joke, but the rest of the stuff should be good. Only... I couldn't remember if you liked olives or not. If you don't, then please feel free to regift. I'd be happy to know I'd provided good gift fodder! And I'd never heard of olive salt, but it looked interesting.

Oh, I love olives, particularly kalamata ones (which the spread looks to be made of). And I was just thinking the other day that I might get a rougher grain sea salt when my current salt shaker runs out, so that was pretty timely.
One question: what do you recommend using the lavender preserves on?

I guess whatever you'd ordinarily use fruit jelly on (if anything). My family mostly eats it on toast, I think, but then we're just not very adventurous, food-wise.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm going shopping for secret santa gifts this afternoon... sorry for the delay, giftee!

I'm doing the same for my santa gifts Laga. I hope to do it this weekend.

Yeah, I've been waiting for feedback, but I think I'm just going to go out and buy something this weekend.
