• 1 pint cherry sweet fire pickles, for the food reviewer at the Commercial Appeal. • 1 pint pickled asparagus. • 1 lb Amish jalapeño cheddar summer sausage, which seems to go over well at Christmas parties. Not sure how I feel about relating jalapeño flavor to the Amish. • 1 pair cheap, stylish casual shoes. • 3 dress shirts, in the ongoing struggle to update my wardrobe.
I did think about actual presents for friends and family—although nothing caught my eye and they’ll be pleased not to be receiving Amish sausage.
