So I'm a burgeoning amateur home chef who secretly enjoys meal prep and cooking simple yet delicious and flavorful meals. My Secret Santa took this info and gifted me the perfect cookbook: Home Cooking by Gordon Ramsay. You see, Gordon Ramsay is my favorite chef, and I love his style and recipes. (By the way, I'm talking about the down-to-Earth, sensitive and insightful Gordon Ramsay from his BBC programs, not the American Hell's Kitchen Gordon Ramsay, though that is fun, but embellished for drama.)

One gift would have been enough ,but Santa also got me a really cool-looking fantasy novel a la Game of Thrones. I'm a huge fantasy fiction fan, so after I finish reading Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, I'll start this one.

I am currently marinading a Thai chili pork chop recipe that I will make tonight and should be amazing.

I'm so grateful thanks!
