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

Flags of our Fathers Special Edition

The Fellowship of the Ring and Return of the King Special Extended DVD Edition

Shaun of the Dead

Superbad Special Edition

Zoolander

Errata

Cigars- surprise me

Granddad’s speakers refoamed

Gift cards to Target, Babies R Us, and any place where we can get organic baby stuff

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!
