You never know what to expect when you receive an 8 pound box in the mail. What could Santa have possibly got me that weighs so much? My excitement grew as I took my gift inside and got ready to open it. I carefully cut open the box and unveiled the mystery. The first thing I saw was a set of circle cutters and a dough blender. Awesome! I love new tools for the kitchen! Santa really hit the nail on the head with this one.

This was only just the beginning though. I still had a mystery to solve, and it looked like the answer was concealed in a plastic bag. It was... flour? I have to admit, I thought it was pretty funny to get flour as a gift. I mean I don't know anyone else who would be excited over flour. After some research I learned that it isn't just normal flour, its made from a soft wheat as opposed to the hard wheat used for almost every other type of flour. It was very cool to learn more about flour thanks to this gift and it will be perfect for learning to make biscuits.

The last item in the box is an amazing biscuit cookbook filled with many gorgeous pictures (cookbook pictures always make me happy) and a ton of recipes to give a shot. And as a bonus thanks for the plastic bags since the cheap ones aren't abundant in California and I like to line my small garbage bins with them.

Santa also left me a very nice card that reads:

As a Southerner, one of my favorite things to bake is a good biscuit. (Everyone loves a good biscuit with either jam or honey!) Here is a biscuit cutter (never use a glass), a bag of the finest southern flour and a great book. I hope they will add something special to your baking "tool box". Enjoy. Merry Christmas to you and to your family. Wishing you the very best in 2019.

Thank you very much Santa for making a fine addition to my collection. I can't wait to put these new tools to the test and make (hopefully) some delicious biscuits!
