Christmas gifts - what did you get?

We have been keeping Christmas small for a few years so we can help others with donations & gift cards.

I got a new chef's coat, pastry brush and two new SS 12" tongs to replace the pair I "donated" to our church for a recent cooking event that somehow got mixed in with the dishes to be washed. Also got a pastry brush & and a metal mesh insert for a half pan that may or may not be used for comp chicken in the future. :wink:

We will also buy each other the gift of fixing whatever is wrong with my wife's car, as it died while driving to my Mom's house to deliver presents to her yesterday.
 
Well one of those things...be careful for what you ask for.

Goofy coffee mug from the kiddo. Also a new ladel and silcone tongs from the wife. Best of all a wife and family who allow me to spend excessive amounts of time to endulge in this new found love of burning meat.
 
well...as far as bbq related stuff...i got some apple wood, bear paws and a new cutting board
 
My wife and Santa did well. Hooked me up with a second portable butane stove, new (soon to be monogrammed) chef's jacket, pig shaped chalk board to ward off spectators at comps, pig shaped ceramic pepper grinder, and ipod music system for cooks. Oh, I forgot about the 30qt stock pot for beer/soup/stew!
 
The GF got me the SM logo on the new comp/catering trailer and a new IPAD case. The GFs brother in-law got me a Cabela's freshwater tackle backpack. And her parents got me a pair of fishing boots and fishing sandals. I am a lucky man.

All my gifts from my wife were wrapped in Justin Beiber wrapping paper...very strange. :crazy:

I got a 16 qt stainless steel stock pot, a 7 qt cast iron dutch oven, an iGrill thermometer, a boat load of Notre Dame shirts, jerseys, and hoodies. I got myself a variety of Simply Marvelous rubs I'm gonna try over the next few days. Got some gift cards and cash too...thinking thermapen and a membership to the Brethren!

The wife and I bought a 55" Samsung LED right after Thanksgiving (on sale), so that was our gift. But then she surprised me with a red Thermapen for Christmas, which I promptly used on the ham I cooked! Life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Santa had a problem and wasn't able to deliver my wife's gift to me, so FedEx is delivering it today . . . .

A nice stainless steel work top, and enough drawers and cabinet space to house knives, utensils, spices, half-pans, etc., etc., etc. Say goodbye to storage bins stacked on and under the table!

I'm looking forward to rolling this out of the trailer for comps and backyard entertaining.

I remember when microwave ovens first came out my father bought one for my mother's birthday. Being a young tadpole at the time I was around when she had friends over for coffee. Some of them thought it was not appropriate that she should get a kitchen tool for a present, Mom defended the gift saying it would save her so much time in the kitchen.

Now, here we are all excited to get our new cooking toys, times keep changing.

Not Q, but SWMBO gave me a popover pan, very cool. (wonder what popovers would taste like on the Akorn)
 
Q/Cooking related..."Charcuterie" (Ruhlman & Polcyn) and a meat grinder attachment for my stand mixer.
 
Had some family up from Gilroy CA and they brought be an assortment of garlic jellys/butters/sauces and marinades. Also got a new mandolin slicer, headlamp for night queing, cookbooks (Ratio by Ruhlman & Culinary Reactions) and to top it all off I got a new Ortech temp controller for my Traeger to replace the basic 3 setting controller that it came with.

It was a fine day for me and my kitchen.
