The festive season is in the air.
Everybody is sending gifts to secret Santee…I chose to be Santa in two groups.
December has been bad month for
me,(health wise) therefore, I couldn’t go out to shop for gifts, but then I am lucky to know
friends who help me to send out my gifts.
At my Special school, I just send
out secretly to my Santee,(one of the teachers at school) through my friend.
For my foodies group I decided to
make gifts at home. This was organized by my Foodie friends at #FBAISecret
Santa group. The elfs were the group of five food bloggers @suchetajt @HungryBawarchi @TheBigFatShetty @toxicbaker @lovetolivetoeat who volunteered to
deliver gifts on their reindeers( oops, private vehicle)
Two days before the event, we
were supposed to deliver our gifts to @HungryBawarchi's house. Unfortuantely I was not
well, therefore I requested him to collect it from my house. Thank you so much
Mohit for this extra effort.
Since I could not go out to buy
food gifts for my santee, I decided to make it at home…as a foodie, I think personalized food gifts
are best. I made carrot pickle, pesto and eggplant dip.
I just ordered three pretty colorful
storage containers, packed them up creatively with gold feathers, added a handwritten note and sent
My special thanks to elf Mohit,
who came to my house to pick up my gift coz I was unable to go out..
And this was my note for my Santee…
Dear Santee Ms Punjabi
Ho Ho ho
Here we come
Pickles, pesto’s, dips
A specialty from my ribs
All packed in cups, so true
Packed specially for you
From land of green chilies
That also has basil frills
Amidst nuts and cheese
A pesto if you please
The carrots sliced and mixed
With garlic and mustard seeds
Now, isn’t that nice pickle?
A perfect afternoon treat
A roasted, blackened eggplant
Churned happily with hung yogurt
That’s the dip you may relish
For sure, it’s delish
So here’s wishing you X’mas
From a very secret friend
One foodie to another
Santa builds a stronger thread
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Merry Christmas!!!
And well, my gift arrived
too…Thank you Roshan and Jagruti…the elves who came to visit me…
This is what arrived
Two boxes of Cadbury chocolates…
I was expecting home made stuff too…and a written note..with a personalized
signature of Santa
But the festive season has just
begun…. Seems like a fun Christmas this year… more parties next week with
different set of friends.
Now off to twitter to enjoy the visuals
of other foodies….
