Who said stockings were for children only?

Even though my sister and I are real grown-ups, we still receive a well-stocked Christmas stocking each year. Yes, we get toys... only now, they are kitchen toys.

So, this year, in addition to the traditional clementine and candy cane, we got a julienne slicer (Oxo GoodGrips), a nice cookie sheet for me and a nice serving spoon and paring knife for my sister, a goat's milk hand cream - you have to wash your hands often when you cook, so you need to moisturize - and the little gadget on the picture (Trudeau), which attaches on the side of a pot and holds your spoon while your dish cooks away. Yippie! No more messy spoon on the stovetop!

Thanks Santa! I promise I'll be good again this year!
