christmas or a bridal shower?

i'd post the food, but frankly, the take is more fun...

not only am i now the proud owner of the following things...

From Pampered Chef:
a baking stone...

adjustable measuring cup, measuring spoon and a baby spatula (little things are just way cuter, arent they???)

and from elsewhere -

a Cuisinart Smart Stick (immersion blender, complete with whisk and minichopper attachments)

a Vidalia Chop Wizard.

my city garden (yay for fresh herbs!!!)

and a fab new cookbook,

but i also got one thing you cant find via any links or in any stores...

i got my own swag.
