I've been busy wrapping up my holiday shopping so posting has been light here but I found this amazing sorbet made with wine(!) at my local gourmet shop. If you can find it near you, it would make a great hostess gift.
You can also order online at winecellarsorbets.com in 4, 6 or 12 packs.

John and I were just talking about ribbon candy and how both our grandmothers kept some in covered candy dishes around the holidays. Given the chance, the pieces stuck together and became a giant mass of candy.
I never really liked ribbon candy but that didn't stop me from eating because hello? it was candy and just there for the taking. As long as you could lift the cover off the dish silently.

Toms shoes a second pair will be donated to a child in need.
