Secret Santa 2006

congodwarf: I’m very glad you liked it…I was afraid the syrup wouldn’t make it intact!

I love aero bars too…especially dipped in hot tea so the outside melts then you just lick that off, then do it again.

I’m glad you like the rice - just a tip - it has to be cooked a lot longer than the icky white stuff…give it a rinse before you toss it in a pot.

I will keep both those tips in mind. Well, I already ate the Aero bar. It lasted about 5 mintues before I gave in.

I made myself some of the Chai this morning. It had much different directions than what I’m used to. I actually followed them. Oh my god, I had no idea Chai could taste like that. I suffered through 9 hours at work before I could make another cup. I have one simmering on the stove as I type. I can smell it in the living room.

I’m so excited!

I got my gift today–and THANK YOU GorillaMan!

He kindly sent me some English Cranberry & Apple Chutney. How do I best taste this? Does it go best on crackers or toast? :cool:

Man alive, this is cool!

To my giftee: my apologies! It’s going into the mail tomorrow (busy week up until today).

Tripler
A busy week indeed.

Jodi, remind me to make sweet love to you. It’s my way of saying thanks for the toys. I’ll put em together and play at my desk.
Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Darlin’, if that’s the plan, you’d better eat the chocolate first for strength

. . . . to put the toys together. :wink:

So, um…about these…“toys”…

Thanks again!

Hmmmm.

Making “sweet love”, eating chocolate for “strength” (stamina?), “Darlin’”?

Just what kinds of toys did you send him, Jodi? :smiley:

I just wanted to say thank you again. My hair looked damned good this morning.

Cool.
Merry Christmas.

Well, imagine my surprise this afternoon when I opened up the door and found a FedEx package sitting out in the hall!

I did have the patience to wait until I’d gone downstairs and put my laundry in before I opened it.

I got:
Aunty’s Chocolate Fudge steamed puddings
homemade chocolate-frosted cookies (er…these got a little smashed up in transit)
homemade brownies
4 packs of Land O Lakes Cocoa Classics in different flavors
Cocoa Spice Yogi Tea
a little box of chocolate candies from The Cookie Jar
4 Dove dark chocolate Promises and 4 Hershey’s dark chocolate Kisses

It appears that my Secret Santa somehow psychically deduced that I have a fondness for chocolate. :wink:

Thanks, Tamryne!!

Your very welcome! Sorry the cookies got a little smashed up, they were rather crumbly and it didn’t even occur to me that they might fall apart during shipping :smack:. I hope you like the chocolate goodies!

Pssst…next time just ask her how she liked the Homemade Cookie Flavored Ice Cream Mix-ins you sent! :smiley:

Woohoo! I got a package yesterday, didn’t have time to open it last night because I had to go out almost straight away.

Thank you EuroMDguy - a box full of marshmallow body parts, just what I always wanted! And the other “thing” will definitely keep me very occupied, although at the moment I’m ‘occupied’ trying to keep the cat out of the box!

You’re welcome - I stood 3 long hours at the stand buying the ‘thing’. I must have tried out a gazillion of them…

I forgot to mention but so far no sight of any SS gift here - let’s hope it’ll be here on Friday

Got a call from my wife, there is a box with Royal Mail stamps and such on it.
::: Does happy dance:::
I get home on the 24th, I don’t know if I can hold out till the 25th.
No word yet from the person I sent mine to.
I wonder if it got there?

Mysecret santa says he/she hasn’t received my gift.

:frowning:

Damn you USPS!

No SS gift from the mailman today, but there are two more mailing days this week, and I really don’t mind if it’s late, either.

I don’t have mine either. There’s still a couple days, though.

For the record, Quasi, I sent TLOUNE two Lego cars that can be built separately or combined to make a third, bigger car! And a bag of Giaradelli chocolates, which can be combined in your stomach to make you fat and happy.

Siege, If you’re listening, your SS gift should arrive no later than tomorrow. I sent it today FedEx guaranteed overnight to be sure you’d have it before Christmas. Let me know if it doesn’t make it tomorrow coz then they’ll have to give me a full refund! :smiley:

Legos??? I love Legos! No wonder TLOUNE responded the way he did!

I saw a program on my German satellite station where the Lego company built a replica of the Allianz 2006 Football arena, and I thought back to my boyhood and how much fun those were.

You got Legos, Dude!
