Yay for amazingly awesome gifts! That turned out to be perfect timing.
And for the record, i do not believe "white chocolate" has any business calling itself chocolate of any kind, being as there is zero cocoa solids in it. Bleargh. My father likes the stuff. I find the chicken fat metaphor to be apt...even the good stuff just tastes like sweet oily wax to me. Worked out well when i used to live near home as my dad like the stuff. I like dark and my mom like milk chocolate, so we never fought over mixed boxes.
White chocolate has cocoa butter in it. Why the hate?
Wow, mw, what mad giftgiving skillz. I love the sneakiness of it!
no coca solids! that's the tasty part. Cocoa butter is a great moisturizer. For my skin.

OMG, Sail - you total rock star!!! So I have this gorgeous wee bag from the Met filled with hilariously fabulous Harlequins with shocking pink edged pages, and taglines like: "Dangerous Dames! Exotic Romps! Cold-blooded murder - 1950s Style!" and artwork that has to be seen to be believed.
A. Dor. Able!!!!
(Also, See's Candies? Made of yum!)
Ahem. I have finally posted my present to my poor, patient, doubtless disgruntled Santee. It should take a fortnight to get there (I'm sorry! But I would have had to sell a kidney for the 3 day service, and provided unspeakable sexual favours AND robbed a bank AND invented a time machine for the back-in-time-to-when-it-wasn't-late service.)
So, um...if you haven't received a gift yet, brave heart! It might be because I suck. (But thanks to Sail, I'm trying to keep my sucking to See's Candy lollipops instead.)
P.S.
Not dead! Just very very very dark charcoal grey.
I'm glad everything got there, Fay! Don't forget, book reports!
I have been remiss, Kat sent me the other part of my present (you may recall the awesome spice package!) and it was CHEESE and FUDGE. I haven't been home long enough to enjoy either of these goodies, but I look forward to it.
Mama, she is busy these days. Feh.
Whew! I'm glad it got there, Vortex! I was worried that it had disappeared in the snowpacolypse. The monks make good stuff (a coworker got us some and the bourbon fudge is to die for). Enjoy!
Oh, I will, sweetie, I will! My eyes practically gleamed when I saw SMOKED CHEESE!!! I need to get some crackers ;)
FWIW, I am a delayed Slacker Sekrit Santa. I get my first paycheck since October at the beginning of March, so whoever my Lucky Recipient is will be getting his/her giftage after that.
