Okay, the weather has turned cold. The stores have already filled their aisles with Christmas decorations and holiday music and even though I don't feel quite ready for the holidays I have had no choice but to start readying myself because there is no escaping the fact that 2006 is hurling its way to a close. But then it came...the first invitation of the season to “holiday pot luck". Quite often I am bad about purchasing a hostess gift during the other 11 1/2 months of the year, I don’t really know why this is and I am feeling slightly bad about it but nonetheless there is something about hosting a party during this time of the year that always makes me want to give them a little extra thank you. Which leads me to the little find that I discovered in Selland’s Market the other day...(which by the by is a treasure trove of hostess gifts) I purchased a package of Villettes which are thin, crisp, chocolate covered French tuile wafers made by Lyla's Chocolates out of Mill Valley. Superb! This is the perfect little something that says thank you for having me to your house. Believe me even your most discerning gourmets will be delighted.
