So, whut did santa brung ya

busterb · 12-17-2008, 07:59 PM

Since I'm the Santa around here, I'll start this off.
I got 4 cast iron soup bowls, a new DeLonghi CGH800-U Retro Panini Grill to replace the old George Forman, a stick blender, Cuisinart SmartStick Hand Blender CSB-76.
A r/c helicopter, that I wish they had left the instructions in Chinese, would have made more sense. Add states that 3 AA batteries are included, not, and it takes 8 batteries. Letter from support. "Please mail us have you missing batterie?" A 8 GB flash drive. Damn I forgot the fruitcake. Each year I get one and a bottle of George Dickel #12 combo charcoal starter, fruitcake seasoning My record is, so for, never spilling any on the cake. I hope to do better this year!
I really wanted a chili Rista to hang in kitcken, but shipping was about same as cost. Also my granddaughter sent me an e-mail, with photos. 11 year old must understand X-mas. Happy Holidays All BB

holy jumping the gun, batman!

delonghi....we have a convection toaster oven of theirs. excellent.

i want some of that fruit cake.

busterb · 12-17-2008, 09:07 PM

OK. Probably without the Old # 12.
Now my grandkids photo. I have a feeling she has a grasp on economics at eleven years old. No contact, no presents! Brandon is 16.

Tnxs Jinxs. The only recipe I know, offhand is for cream of broccoli soup.
So you have anything a redneck might like? NO! Not Margaritas. Jose' is not my freind. Trust me on that.

I used mine tonight to smooth-out my butternut squash after roasting, but I mostly use it for soup. Black bean is my daughter's favorite and I do a super-simple version that takes no time;

Mirepoix + garlic, shallots if I have any, red pepper flakes, and olive oil in the bottom of the soup pot on med until the carrots aren't hard. Add 3 cans of black beans 1 big can of whole tomatoes and blend until smooth. Add another can of black beans and 1-2 boxes of chicken stock depending on how thick you like it. Salt, pepper, etc... Could be topped with sour cream, fresh cilantro, bacon etc...

When I was about 6, Santa brought me a metal train. It was 6-year-old-boy-sized and although it had no built in design seat, I could sit on it. It was the best thing ever. It went 'too tooth' even though that was me. I loved my train and that was good because I was going to be a train driver when I grew up.
I remember then that it went (got stored one day) in a closet downstairs. And after that I never saw it again. I couldn't understand why, when I looked in the closet it wasn't there. But I knew in my heart I saw it go in there. I continued to look in the closet on and off until I was about 12 in the vain hope it was there and I had just missed it amongst the wellie boots and fallen overcoats and tool boxes. But I never saw it again.
Only recently I was thinking about it again. In fact earlier today. And then I logged on I chanced upon this thread. Today my explanation is that my mother had borrowed it for Christmas Day or got it on loan from the shop because little boys need to have Santa visit. We had very little money and maybe Christmas was particularly tight that year. And after a few days of Christmas it went back to from wherever it came. And I have missed it ever since.
For Christmas, I want my train back. Not any old train that looks like it, but that actual train.
Santa, can you see?

I got Wrath of the Lich King (play the movie, it's pretty cool - safe site). My son got the entire family a Wii, plus a couple games, and my bf got me:

Geez...I dunno yet, I think I'm getting a new PC monitor though. DH keeps whining about wanting to give me my prezzie now and I'm making him wait.

I have to wait. I only have one person left to give me a decent gift these days, not including the cheap crap from my inlaws.

I went out to the grocery tonight and when I came in they YELLED at me -- "stay there! Don't come in!" Sheesh.

Woohoo!

Only thing I've gotten thus far is a gift certificate for a Thai Massage. Parents sent a box but it hasn't gotten here, no idea what's in it.

Clodfobble · 12-17-2008, 11:14 PM

Be careful when you're cleaning that stick blender, buster. I have the same model, and I cut the ever-loving crap out of my thumb just barely touching it. It's sharp.

Those are some good looking grandkids you got there!
