Now you're not allowed to say IC - I've been stirring some IC, and somehow there'd always be a big lump left on my spoon after I've finished. Now I've been stirring a little more than is probably necessary and have probably had too much  :-))

I can't remember what postage I paid for. It wouldn't have been the super quick one I don't think. The kindle is the best ever - I love it! Love the self lit background, the touch to turn page, how it tells you in minutes how long to the end of the chapter based on your reading speed. Some books it will even describe the characters, but in the book I'm currently reading it hasn't got that I don't think.  I was dreading setting it up, but it was a 2 second job to link up to my existing amazon account.

I had fun today shopping at POK online. I've got my SIL for my Kris Kringle so I've ordered some nice things for her, and just one little thing slipped in for me as I needed some long handled tongs for my new BBQ. Luckily they had some green ones:)

I am going to try and post a photo of a Lasagna pan that I bought.  It comes with the spatula shown in photo.  I has to be the most expensive pan I have ever purchased.  $80.  Chicago Metalic.  I have cooked 3 different types of Lasagna,  but mostly used it for bread sticks.  Using Cookies Vienna  Loaf recipe,  it makes 3 sticks.

Just come on for giggles... This thread always cracks me up.

I have received such lovely goodies from the shoppers on here.  We are hoping to have a more OTT and jollier one next year. So I will get lots of ideas from on here. Keep em coming.

The presents or the ideas DJ - or both  :D :D :D

You deserved to have a good one this year DJ and I'm sure all the extra gifts you received just made your steps a little lighter.  If you feel good, you cope better I think - it sure has helped me in my current situation.

I'll raise my glass on Christmas Day to all of us going through rough times - hopefully 2013 will be better.

Ordered a Thermapen (that Andi recommended) (and a silicone shoe to protect it) which are being posted today by Express.  Hope to receive them on Monday.  :)
