Christmas Came and Went

Christmas day came and went and before I knew it I was back in work.

 I had some lovely gifts thanks mostly to my lovely husband like a gorgeous peacock T-shirt, a couple of DVDs, a CD amongst other things, but the two gifts that I want to share here are food related.  

 I had two cookbooks on my Christmas wish list: Meat Free Any Day: Food For all Reasons by Sarah Beattie; and The Adventurous Vegetarian: Around The World In 30 Meals by Jane Hughes - my wishes was granted...Now to decide what to cook from them first?! 
And from my nephew - the oldest one that I am really really close too, I got a foodie hamper. 
I have never received an hamper in my life, so this was a lovely treat. 
He managed to stuff it with with additional sweet and savoury nibbles, a lot that you can't even see, so I will have to share that with you in my blog January In My Kitchen blog post, 

I hope you had a good Christmas with your family and friends, now we wait to welcome the New Year and what is may bring.

    Shaheen,
    What lovely gifts you have gotten for Christmas - you must have been good :)

    I wonder if you can use the hamper as a bicycle basket...

    Have a Beautiful Day!
    Peace :)

      Thank you Chandra.
      Yes, the hamper is small enough to utilise as a bicycle basket, good thinking Mister :)

    cookbooks and hampers are great gifts for foodies - I am curious to see what you have in the hamper when you do your IMK post - and those dvds and cd look interesting - love luther and I think I would love hinterland too - love a grim british drama

      Thanks Johanna.
      I will def. share more in my IMK post come January. I missed HInterland when it was on TV, excited to see a Welsh drama so am really looking forward to that - I think it may be in the same vain as your present the DVD Shetland (which I also missed), but not sure - still I think you will like it. I loved Idris Elba in The Wire and became a fan of his acting, so Luther is a must watch,
