Valentine’s Day is over. I was going to give suggestions for inexpensive (under $10) but nice gifts for your favorite foodies, but I never had the time at work. I was going to say stuff like, save the chocolates and flowers for when you shoot your best friend and need to say I’m sorry. My suggestions were going to be: local honey (for allergies and sore throats), exotic salts (I just bought a pretty cork container of Fleur de Sel for a thank you gift. I had a hard time deciding between that one and the Balinese salt stored in a shiny brown coconut, but the nut was pricier), Maille (I saw Maille honey mustard at National Wholesale Liquidators for 3bux), truffle oil (so you can make ‘ino or inoteca’s truffled egg toasts at home because both restaurants are constantly crowded), or Rick’s Pick’s phat beets (All of his pickled veggies are great. I do think they are expensive at 10 bux, but they make a good gift.) All this stuff can be found at Dean and Deluca where I went this morning for the thank you gift. I just want to tell you that their website lies, the store on Prince and Broadway opens weekdays at 7 or 7:30 am.
But if your local gourmet shop is closed remember that nothing says I love you like the Criterion Collection’s Fassbinder box set. (Thanks, Josh!)
