I just received a really beautiful gift box from my Santa via The Gourmet Trunk. It contained a bunch of cool and tasty looking items and recipe cards with suggestions on their use:

Salmon Chemise - A dry rub and seasoning for salmon (this is great, I cook fresh salmon every week or two)

Pesto Alla Siciliana - Sun dried tomato pesto (yum)

Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce - will be good on grilled sausages

Piquillo Jalapeno Bruschetta topping - mmm, on some toasted bread

Himalayan Salt Block - I had never heard of this before. It's a quarried block of salt from an ancient sea bed, mined from the Himalayas. It's heavy and solid like a marble brick and I had to lick it to convince myself it was salt. You can cook meats on it or chill it to serve sashimi or vegetables. Very clever, I love it!

I'm a rather hard person to shop for and didn't give my SS too much to go with. This was a perfect gift and really made my day. Now I just have to decide which of these to put into service for tonight's dinner.
