Private to Cho/Finbar
It was great seeing you, too, and I have to say (again) that you looked amazing. The Christmas cookies are delicious, and Deirdre (my niece, the one with the cookbook) asked for the recipe. She also claims that I should send you something homecooked back, however... pancakes just don't travel all that well, and I will never back down on my claim that they need to be eaten fresh from the pan.
So, I ask you to please forgive my lack of reciprocation when it comes to food, though I do hope you will enjoy the rest of my gift for you. Happy Christmas, Gorgous.
