I GOT PRESENTS



MRS. ANNIE'S PEANUT BRITTLE - won't last past noon tomorrow

WYO HISER STEAK SEASONING - not familiar with this one so I'm looking forward to trying it

CANDIED JALAPENOS FROM JANAK'S COUNTRY MARKET - very Texas

PERSONALIZED MAROON TUMBLER WITH MY HANDLE AND APPROPRIATELY ANTIQUED RING EMBLEM - Now this here is just too much. I mean, honestly, I clapped in approval and gratitude for for this one. That is just perfect for a GBSS.

THANK YOU, TX_COWDOC! That was very worth the wait!

Sorry for the delay. Never goes as quick as I'd like. Anyway, I thought the tumbler turned out really well. a little back story on the rest of the stuff…..
Wyo Hiser is a business owned by a dear friend in Wyoming named Tom Hiser. He grills the best steak I've ever eaten. A true master. This is his seasoning. I think you'll like it. Go get some ribeyes or filets and give it a go.

Next is Janak's Candied Jalapeños. They are down the road and have an incredible variety of good eats.

Lastly- the peanut brittle. I was the peanut king back in the day. Still like to share some of Floresville Texas's finest offering…..Mrs. Annie's Peanut Brittle.

Merry Christmas!

Received mine! Definitely going to use the smoker kit tonight! Thanks for sharing your dog and congrats on the everything going in your life to my secret Santa!

Mine came in today! Included was a Corvina Clothing Company shirt, a book on the science of spice, a pint glass with my IRL initials on it (omitted from the picture), a homemade fajita spice mix and homemade pecan pralines!

Thanks, Talon! I love it!

I've got a long car ride coming up on Tuesday, so I will take the book along for some perusing

I just got a giant box from Japan! Thank you so much Boots! The boys are already begging to do the Poppin'Cookin' sets! It's a great big box of things I can't read!

Glad it finally got delivered! It sat in Chicago for an entire week without being scanned or doing anything at all.

Message me if you need any help with instructions. Also, don't let the boys into the box with the bear eating pancakes. Those are condoms.

A box with a bear eating pancakes contains condoms??? Japan has really bizarre marketing concepts.

To the Jay Bateman of Secret Santa (their words, not mine), thank you very much for the perfect gifts!

A gigantic can of coffee to get me through the mornings (we have 3 boys, 5 and under)

A glow in the dark football to get me through the dark evenings and burning energy of said boys

And the true finale, a Nic Cage coffee mug, which is only exposed once filled with hot water, to remind me that even super rich and talented people can make horrible decisions

Not sure who my Secret Santa is, but very happy with these gifts. And whatever it was that had you running behind this year, "this too, shall pass".

My gift was delivered exactly on Christmas! Talk about perfect timing.



Thank you so much, Geralt! I've already put the ornament on my tree, and I can't wait to try the salsa you made. You're the best.

A casualty of vigorous knocking job.

Got the rest of the stuff!! Thanks EFE!!!
