Christmas 2022

TastyReuben is just happy he doesn't have to drink Pickwick tea, which is a Dutch brand to best all the worst brands by being the absolute bottom dreg of anything called remotely tea.
He discovered this horrifying reality after buying it for far too much money at the international store and had already unfortunately ingested the poison before I could warn him of the impending doom 🤪
Pickwick is what Sinterklaas leaves for the bad kids!
 
I received my Bonne Maman calendar today ❤️

And the other calendars. Black olive tapenade with truffle, dark chocolate orange spread, butterscotch cinnamon chocolate spread and pralines.
 
Tonight is our annual fancy-pants Christmas dinner out. Going to the same place, I’ll probably order the same thing, and I’ll likely (without realizing it) wear the same clothes. Tradition! :laugh:

I don't care what you wear. What are you going to eat?

This used to be our pre-Christmas fancy-pants dinner when mom and dad were still able to do this kind of thing. (Scroll down for the main course menu)

It’ll probably be exactly this:

Plans for today

Note the cardigan! :laugh:

Im sort of sad I looked that up, because that’s what’s in my mind now. I really wanted to see if that’s what I would’ve ordered again on my own.
The size of that! The size of steak you get here, even at a steakhouse is generally similar to the one on the plate with lobster. My husband did tell me that he was floored by the size of steaks in the US when he was there, I guess he wasn't lying. How do you eat all that? Or do you take a doggy bag?

That was an 18oz ribeye. I took some of it home, yes.
 
Maybe it's because the cookies and stuff might break during transport, IDK. Very strange indeed! Where did you order it? I ordered from their website.
I got it from the international market here, and I saw it at the gourmet shop as well. It’s the same one I get every year:
