My friend Lea Ann Brown, writer of the Highlands Ranch Foodie Blog –http://highlandsranchfoodie.wordpress.com/ – posted a contest to win one of her favorite cookbooks if you post photos of foodie gifts you received for Christmas.
I was lucky enough to receive a full set of really good pots and pans – Calphalon Unison. I feel like a real grownup cook now. I have been cooking with a nice set of Faberware pots and pans since about 1978. They have lasted well, but wow what a difference a heavy duty pan makes.
So, Lea Ann here are a couple of photos with Ike overseeing the loot. Also, in the picture are some cool trivits, a porcelain plate that looks like crumpled paper and another cool serving plate. In the background is also a new cookbook Chocolate Snowball.
I do plan on being better at posting to this blog. I have a many ideas, it’s just a matter of putting the time aside to keep it going and making it a worthwhile blog.
Happy New Year all and check in now and again

Love the loot. And thank goodness for Ike and his vigilance in over-seeing these beautiful gifts. L-O-V-E that paper crumpled plate. You are officially entered in the give-a-way
Thanks Lea Ann. The crumpled plate is going to be fun for serving.

Wow, Carol, I’m very jealous! (and totally in love with your new platters) Your tree and doggie just finish off a very nice post.
