Secret Santa 2014

[DrT999]

But then they'd know about the arsenic DrT

Maybe that's a 'usual warning' for you. . . . :affraid:

 

[DrT999]

My religion requires all gifts to be received be packed with copious amounts of gold.   Seriously.   I'm not even Catholic.   :lol:    Also, no milk products.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of Captain Black Gold!

And Santa has made another early drop off in the mail I am told.  I think the excitement must be strong this year.  Watch those bushes along side the porch.  The wind just loves blowing them down the road.  Of course some of these packages will require a two-wheeler to move into the pipe-cave.  :santa:

Preferably, Wessex Gold Brick. The joke tobacco bombs are great, but I have a bunch of it that's probably going to go to waste. Lotta funny-guys like the same punchline. :heart:

 Watch those bushes along side the porch.

Those aren't bushes, they're walnut trees and gargoyles.

Gold huh?  How about those golden Esoterica bags?

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Gold huh?  How about those golden Esoterica bags?

Can't stand Esoterica. :heart: Save it for Monbla.

Finally, some trash talk on the thread.  It's been quiet a few days.  The poor blighter for which I'm forwarding Santa's agenda, seems to have at least a few redeeming qualities.  I will issue a question towards the participants though.  Any food allergies or other dietary issues that should be considered.  I'd much rather do the slow execution via tobacco, rather than precipitate acute respiratory failure, followed by cardiac arrest.  Christmas is fraught with hazards.

I am deathly allergic to the enzymes used in Sour Cream. I know many people use sour cream in baking goods.

I'd say that's weird, but I get it. I'm not "lactose intolerant," I'm allergic to the casein protein in milk (or at least that's what suspected). Only dairy product I can eat is butter. :scratch:

[Lesath]

Would you like that butter salted or unsalted?  Nothing like a nice stick of that in your stocking next to the fire.

See!  I use both sour cream and heavy whipping cream in baked goods.  It staggers the imagination to garner the thought of the thread title, "The Man Who Killed Kyle."  Could you imagine some of the comments made.  Sure, at first they'd be nice.  Then some joker would tweak the circumstances a little, and your good name would be ruined.

 

[DrumsAndBeer]

I don't do sweets or dairy.

Any sugar I consume comes in the form of beer and occasionally wine.

 

[Carlos]

Dang, I reread my target for Secret Santa's preferences. I need to adjust. Might have to place another order. Or dig deep into the cellar. :santa:

 

[puros_bran]

Carlos I've always taken them as wish lists with no need to actually follow them with the exception of "no this. No that". Like mine , I listed all kinda silly stuff (I think, can't remember) I don't really expect anyone to get all of it.. And if they sent me something not in there I'd lie and say I enjoy it just as well.

Anyone ever tried Dan Blue Note?

 

[fsu92john]

Anyone ever tried Dan Blue Note?

Years ago. I found it a high-quality aromatic that was just way too sweet for my tastes. FWIW, I heard more compliments from total strangers than I ever have with any other blend.

 

[tarheel7734]

I wasn't very specific about my list. I love english blends and put that down, but I am pretty open except straight burley and aeros. I have just discovered 3 nuns and va/per blends and love them also.

 

[Briarbabe]

I can't wait for the packages to start rolling in. I'm enjoying the banter from the sidelines, but after all this talk, I am dying to see some loot!

 

[tarheel7734]

Did we get pics of what has already landed?

Haha! You'd send me five pounds of butter, too. I like the European stuff, Plugra, Kerrygold, etc... has a wicked delicious finish for saucemaking.

As much as I'd love to say I'd eat anything, without confirmation of ingredients and knowledge that most confectioneries, desserts and pastries use stuff other than butter... I just skip 'em. The rumors of my wanting to kill myself with delicious things is not far from the truth, but I have limits.

I did find a sale on ox lips at the butcher recently... those are dairy-free...

Good question.

 

[puros_bran]

Just a note to whoever my Santa is.. As touching as handmade from the heart mushy joy joy food is, I don't eat food that I haven't watched prepared or at the very least has the minimum guarantee of a faked A+ from the health inspector.

Now handmade pipes are a completely diff story. Lol

 

[Kyle Weiss]

I'd drink some bona-fide Kentucky moonshine, bent still pieces, racoon sh*t and all. :dontgoblind:
