What My Christmas Wishlist Looks Like

Now that Thanksgiving is over and we are definitely in the Christmas season, here's a peek into the things I want this holiday season. I understand this is quite vain, but whatever, this is how I get my thoughts organized.

In no particular order:

A Microplane zester

Quite possibly the best zester and fine grater your money will buy. It's no replacement for a standard box grater, but for quick grating jobs, taking this out will be much more convenient than hauling out the box.

The KFC Double Down

I couldn't believe it, but the KFC double down has actually made it to Manila!

I have just finished eating it and I have to say, it is definitely the single saltiest thing I have ever eaten in my entire life. I seriously could not eat that entire thing alone. It's fried chicken, bacon, and cheese. But lost in all of the shock from the double down is that it actually tastes good. It'll kill you, but it tastes good. The thing here is to not treat it as a sandwich, but treat it as an ulam. In our case, get an order of rice to eat with it; as well as a buddy to eat it with, because you'll be needing it.

At the end of the day, the KFC double down is what it is, a horrifying yet tasty publicity move. It gets 2 stars out of 5 in my book.
