Oy. Survived the holiday, and far too many noshes laying about. Gymbunny friend and holiday orphan that joined family for the holiday was somewhat boggled at finding slow cooker, kitchen implements, and a 34" chocolate santa under the tree for him, but he should know my low sense of humor by now and count himself lucky. :)
Nieces were quite pleased with their various loot, collecting a wide variety and being young enough to take pleasure from violently neon-pink sheets/comforters/pillow-cases and Bed/Bath/Beyond's "yard of gumballs", yet sophisticated enough to be thrilled at the notion of an entire wheel of Stilton.
I did rather well, too, and came away with a lovely new french press coffeemaker and sundry other lower-bulk items. No complaints here. Rest of the family did well, too.
Cheese & meat tray went over well...there is an odd little shop up/over in Seattle that does artisan cured meats & such, and they are now producing a "mole salami" that I ran across in my local store...completely different flavor combination, but it works. Yum.
Yesterday was "recuperation". Today, need to get back to business on a number of fronts.
