My grandparents always give us $50 plus a small gift (jewelry this time). I made a gift list for the rest of the family because they kept remarking on my pickiness (I like to think of it as selectivity). The movie set included How to Steal a Million (which we of course had to watch that day). I also got Tim Hawkin's newest DVD This is the Worst (which we watched also). I also received the Tangled soundtrack (not pictured).
I made this Angel Food Cake from Alton Brown on Foodnetwork.com for my dessert. I substituted almond and vanilla for orange extract. We ate it with mixed berries and almond flavored whipped cream. Everyone else liked it, but I still want to try another recipe or two. The sponginess was good but I could have used more flavoring and sugar myself.
