I guess I’m not a very good newlywed, because if you gave me a blender or a vacuum cleaner as a present, I would love it!  I don’t find it unromantic at all– it’s still fun to experiment in the kitchen and learn new shortcuts for keeping the house running smoothly–and I love getting useful gifts from Sam!

So, no surprise, some of my favorite Christmas gifts were kitchen-related.  A food processer, tupperware empanada makers, a cookbook–all on my Wish List, and all favorite new additions to my kitchen.

But one of my most favorite kitchen gifts is both functional and pretty enough to display on the counter–M-Cups!

Nesting dolls that are also measuring cups–clever and cute!

Thanks to Veronika and Derik, for the sweet present–I’ve already used them a number of times!

I’ve been meaning to write a little something about my M-Cups for a while now, because I think of our friends every time I use them–plus, they just look so cute sitting on the counter 😉
