Heart What gear or home gourmet gift do you have in mind for your significant other for Christmas this year ? Edible or a culinary tool or gadget or household appliance ?
 
Would enjoy hearing your suggestions ... Christmas is only two and a half months away, and in order to avoid an upswing in soaring prices, shopping in October is a swell idea on the budget ...
 
What would you like for Christmas from the epicurean side of gifts ?
 
Here are some fine ideas depending on your fave cuisines ...
 
1)  an unglazed oven ware able Tagine, some clay earthenware ( cazuelas or barro or bowls ) or a paellera to make paella,  if you do not have any of these
 
2) a Mocajuete volcanic Aztec Mexican stone mortar and pestle for preparing guacamole
 
3) a wooden mortar and pestle ( a kitchen necessity )
 
4) cheese paper for cheese-a-holics
