The presents have been unwrapped and the discarded holiday paper, boxes and ribbon have (hopefully) been discarded. And what are we left with? Memories and a few useful kitchen gadgets! I know I was incredibly happy with every aspect of my Christmas celebrations, from the crepe brunch to snacks of Christmas cookies, peppermint bark and hot chocolate. The time spent with loved ones is invaluable, of course, but I have to say that I love the things that I was given, too. I got a silicone egg ring, which is designed to keep fried eggs at just the right size and thickness. I am also planning to use it the next time I make a batch of crumpets to see if it can help keep them round as they "bake". I also received a lovely apron from Anthropologie and a new Aerolatte, a gadget that makes frothing milk for cappuccinos as easy as can be.

Did anyone else get any exciting new kitchen gadgets or other food-related goodies?
