Prezzies for me!

My parents returned, safe and sound. Surprisingly nothing spectacular happened on the trip back--no bridges washed out, no delayed flights, no missed connections, no snarky (nor snarly) flight attendents nor passengers. They, of course, brought me a few prezzies...

Anyway, I told my mum about my ankle and she and my dad bought me a beautiful hand-carved cane. I tried to take some piccies of details--to the left, a wolf- or fox-like creature and to the right, an elephant (my very favourite creature on this planet--if I could keep some as pets, I would).



India is known for many things and silk is one of them. To the left, a scarf and to the right a new sari for me!



Now, this is a foodblog, so of course there are few things they picked up from the markets: cashewnuts, nutmeg, star anise and mace.

Some people have too much time on their hands

Which is good because I don't have enough time to be this creative :)

Last week I posted about The Table of Condiments That Periodically Go Bad.

Christina, in a comment, posted about The Periodic Table of Desserts.

Here are a few others that are foodish in nature...for the science geek in all of us.

My apologies in advance for all the retail sites I've linked to...couldn't (quickly) find non-sales sites for some of them.

The Periodic Table of Candy
The Periodic Table of Cheese
The Periodic Table of Chocolate
The Periodic Table of "Expresso"
The Periodic Table of Food
The Periodic Table of Fruits and Nuts
The Periodic Table of Mixology
The Periodic Table of Pumpkins
The Periodic Table of Vegetables
