Sounds good!

None this year unless I count a bottle of Laphroaig.

Edit: not quite true - my son bought me some pieces of vintage cutlery/serving implements which I can use for food photography.

Nothing to eat in my actual gifts, but lots of treats in my stockings.

Pepin is as good an artist as he is a cook.

Wow, "Performs virtually any food prep task" I'd like to see it fillet and debone a fish.

You need a Bass-O-Matic for that...

Here there were some vegan chocolates, and a vegan Asian cookbook...

Christmas day vegan chocolates

From Belgian chocolatier now living in Tasmania

There were also some wooden toaster tongues that my mother thought we'd need. Apparently they stick magnetically to the side of a toaster if your toaster is of a magnetic metal. And some chicken napkins.

We just received a Christmas gift from our Nephew and his family

(photo credit Nuts.com)

A basket filled with 3 1/2 pounds of nuts.
I know that we won't eat all of this before they go stale/bad, so I put some in zip-top bags and into the deep freeze they went for later.
Now ...
How to up-cycle that basket.
It can't be washed, I don't think anyways, so I simply wiped it out with a damp cloth and added our own goodies as wells as some of the nuts.

Great idea!
We are snackers, I must admit. Not alot, but we do.

I looked up what this Nut basket costs ... they were far too generous!
I'm not telling DH the price, because they are on our "do not call list".
I don't even know their address to send a Thank You card so...
