My Secret Santa(s) went above and beyond for the cookbook exchange. Most people just send a cookbook but OH NO! Not my SS!

First of all the books: The Accidental Vegetarian by Simon Rimmer and Quick and Easy Vietnamese Home Cooking for Everyone by Andre Nguyen and Yukiko Moriyama. I'll definitely be trying some of the vegetarian recipes in the near future. I'll need to make a run to an Asian grocery for most of the Vietnamese dishes but they all look really good.

Of course, SS couldn't just stop there. Also included was a kick ass set of fancy chopsticks (I really have been meaning to buy some of my own but always forget), a pair of dipping sauce dishes, and a pair of soup spoons. Truth be told, I like these spoons so much that I picked a dozen at an Asian grocery a few months back but no worries, these will be used.

To top it off, there was a nice letter included.

I just sent my match a cookbook. I now feel like an asshole.

Regardless, thanks SS(s) for an awesome exchange. I am not worthy.

My pictures are horrible but I didn't want to waste the opportunity to make you all jealous...so. Here you go.
