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.

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.

My secret santa gift arrived
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.

Mine's been bought since before the holidays and sitting under my desk waiting for my life to fucking calm down so I can mail it.
But my gift arrived today! And the mailroom guy put the big box right behind my chair without saying anything, so naturally I almost fell right over/on it. And then I cut myself opening it and got blood all over the box and the packing peanuts and the wrapping. Quite the display of grace, I tell you what.
But not on the gifties! So now I have yummy Peet's Coffee and treats and some quite lovely book plate and a calendar which I may not put out on the desk just yet but which I'm very glad to have. Thanks, Oakland mystery santa!
