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.
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.
Me three! I'm hoping to send them tomorrow.
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!
I'm really taking the slacker part to heart. I hope to have my shopping done this weekend.
You know, if you delay long enough you can be EARLY for Christmas 2009.
