My Dirty Little Holiday Secret
Every year the parents of one of my husband's friends sends us a box from Swiss Colony. I scoff and mock the ingredients on the mini "sausage". There are so many listed that I think they use 4pt type to fit them all on. But secretly I can't wait to dig in to those li'l smokies dipped in Sweet Hot Mustard. I love the pretty petit fours, the sweet nuts, even the fruit cake (why does it have such a bad rap?), even the mysterious, squishy tubes of flavor in Smoke, Onion, and Sharp. Yesterday I squeezed them on to organic cheese nips. There is some sort of irony there that I just don't care about.
