The goods

A few fancy objects received on Christmas Day (minus the shiny black Toureg):

A Wok to add spring to my (cook) step.  I feel so fancy sauteing spinach and Brussels sprouts and garlic cloves.  (Just add wine + date + kiss the cook apron.)

Bamboo utensil set from Crate & Barrel.

Crazy Love by Francis Chan.

An old stand-by (and favorite) perfume, Burberry Brit.  And how lovely is this trench (another one for the twenty-eleven list)?

This adorable Sock Monkey.  Appropriate at any age.  

And a side-note:  An endearing love letter to her man.
