Some Stuff

I was having a real down day yesterday, but one bright spot was the arrival of wintergreen126's gift (delivered with the aid of ikel89's plotting magic)!




An excellent assemblage of items: bubble bath, Lush Reindeer Rock soap, chocolate/peppermint goodness, caramels, and and an Orange is the New Black cookbook. Lots of fun and deliciousness all around.



A sample from the cookbook, just to showcase that it's not all prison meals, haha.



The candy! I smiled seeing the goat milk caramels were from Vermont. (That's where Anders and I attempting to move in the hopefully near future, for anyone who hasn't heard me going on about it...)



Completed with a cute card!



Thanks so much for the thoughtful and fun gift, wintergreen126! You are awesome.

Though speaking of awesome and gifts, amidst all my recent sadness I forgot to mention Anders's holiday gift to me: this DSLR camera. :D I've been rather busy and it didn't even come with a memory card, so I haven't really read the manual and it's not set up for use yet, but hopefully soon. Winter break is coming, after all!

Whee, I'm liking this a lot, especially the book, as I mentioned - seems like a neat fannish idea (and hopefully practical, too :) How does the goat milk caramel taste like, though?:O I know caramel, and I know goat milk, and those two just don't seem to mix in my head :)

Also, CONGRATULATIONS on the new camera, may it serve you well!:) I'll be looking forward to more pictures from you! <3

I JUST ate a goat milk caramel for describing purposes, but it's hard to explain exactly how it's different than a regular milk caramel. It has just as much delicious sugar as a regular caramel, but there's something ever-so-slightly more savory about it, I suppose...in any case, this caramel loving person insists that they're good. ;)

I am very excited about the camera, though I still have to wait for a USB cable to arrive now. I have no idea why things like USB cables and memory cards are not included when one purchases a $400 camera...maybe to heighten the anticipation?!
