Sander’s Christmas/30th Birthday List
Basically, there's some stuff on this list. And while stuff can be fun, I'm really looking forward to simply spending time with my family. This is the gift to which I look forward with the greatest anticipation and eagerness. I'd really be thrilled to hang out in the kitchen with everyone, making something tasty and chatting.
BABY STUFF
Help turning the office into a nursery
Guidance in caring for a baby (I don’t think I’ve ever changed a diaper)
Visits from family, time spent cooking and eating
Your favorite recipes and music
Your company in the kayak
Your company hiking this Spring/Summer (and maybe even winter if the weather holds and Folsom Lake is still just a puddle)
Everybody-gets-together-and-goes-in-on-it-stuff:
Craftsman 1/2 hp Garage Door Opener, Belt Drive
80 gig Ipod
Sartorial Concerns:
Slippers- I like the LL Bean Wicked Good Moc Boots, but anything warm with a rubber sole works (Our floors get cold in the winter… I wear a size 11 shoe)
Hawaiian Shirts- size M
Fun boxers- size M
Waist 32, inseam 30-32
Culinary Concerns:
A good Thai cookbook- especially if it’s used. Used cookbooks are great- they seem to have some mojo built into them.
Stock pot
Tea Kettle
Literary Concerns:
The Dangerous Book for Boys
Used cookbooks- I’m always interested in trying new things, especially
not-American foods
War and Peace
Anna Karenina
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Great Literature you think I’d like
DVDs (Widescreen):
Flushed Away

Pamper Candice
Soundtrack to Brokeback Mountain
Did I mention that it would be great to have people over for dinner? This is one of my absolute favorite gifts- the having over of family for dinner, especially if coking is involved. Come over, cook and eat with us!
