So I admitted to the world at large that my bread all turns out like a bunch of bricks, and my amazing Secret Santa took pity on me! I've been given this totally amazing and thorough bread-baking book. This is serious stuff. It's wonderful and an inspired gift! I love it! Thank you so much!

(Sorry for the single dim photo. I finally had to prop it up on the rocking chair so my persistent cat couldn't drape herself over it.)

UPDATE: Box 2 Arrived! Actually, it arrived late on Dec 24, so I took it up to my parents' for our Christmas celebrations and opened it there. (Next year's redditgifts may have an extra couple of 70-somethings taking part.)

I'm just recovering from the craziness of Christmas, so this update is stupidly late, for which I apologise to my amazing Secret Santa.

Box 2 is treats and cool things from Dalarna, Sweden! This is so great! My Secret Santa has put a ton of thought into this gift. I'm really touched. I love it. Thank you, Santa!
