Had a bit of holiday fun last week which included opening a bottle of wine from marks and spencer called "lambrusco rose". A dear someone bought it last year but we haven't had a chance to try it until some days ago. Here it was, properly chilled. It was sweet and semi-sparkling... very yummy, very girly. We had these nice milk chocolate-topped oatmeal dessert cuppies too. They were soft munchies. Me thinks that they were meant for another time but my sweet wine buddies broke 'em out that night. They're great. Will definitely make it up to them next time.

nicked someone's early holiday present ... ok, i asked first and they said yes. this tiny thing is quite thoughtful and useful since it's a citronella-infused candle. it's supposed to repel mosquitoes. i believe it's working. but three evenings in, it's all but burned out. pictured here was just day 1. oh well, it's good while it lasts. but the scent does give me a slight headache. just saying.

Oops, I nibbled the pita wrap. Anyway, here's a KFC California maki twister, unwrapped. The last time I had one of these, I only had half. I think that was a good thing 'cause I would not have finished a whole one. Now, it's not because it's a big serving since I think it's about right for one gal. But it's nakakaumay and if it wasn't for a surprising crunch from a cucumber strip 1/4 into the roll, I'd not have munched through half of it. It could be too much of one texture (or too much sauce). As to the other half that I didn't want to finish... I shared it with someone. :)
