I won this as a door prize at a holiday party last night.

Looks interesting, doesn't it? I don't think I've ever had nitrogenated coffee before.

 

I'll report on it later, somewhere, when I get around to trying it. It's a bit cool right now for me to get excited about deliberately chilled coffee. (I confess: my 3rd cuppa of the morning often gets cold before I finish it. 😀 )

Another door prize, at the last holiday party of the season (that I'll be attending, anyway). There's a bottle of Pinot Grigio in there.

I complimented the member who'd crocheted this and a number of other door prizes. Check out the base!

She figured out how to do that so the bottle would sit squarely on the counter. Darned clever, I think!

This moning, while at the Berkeley Bowl Market looking for some pasta-specific items, I came across this wondeful treat in the cheese fridge. I've had it before - it's not always available - and it's delicious. A baked, lemon-flavored, Italian ricotta cheesecake made with buffalo and cow's milk ... in-effin'-credibley delicious.

My sister sent me these salt samplers, which I receved yesterday. Opening the tins released an incredible and delicious aroma. Can't wait to try the samples ...

I liked the Bacon Chipotle salt a lot, and bought a large jar an Amazon. (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
