I have been asked to mention the ranch dip I miss so much.

Umm...it is the Hidden Valley powder stuff that you mix with sour cream, if memory serves me correctly, it is this one: http://www.hiddenvalley.com/products/ProdDipMix.php

Hope this helps.

Don't feel bad, I haven't had any PM's either, but hopefully that is because I have been providing enough info.

 

[sibohan2005]

I am secretly researching my SS by reading all of her posts in the last few months to get an idea of her likes and dislikes. It's more interesting than going to the snoopers and asking

 

[roxie225]

1. Do you like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate? Not a tea or coffee person. I love hot chocolate but never seem to drink it. I bought a huge box at BJ's and still haven't opened it

2. Sweet or salty snacks? If so, what are your favorites? Sweet and salty!! I'm a huge party mix fan, almost any type of chex mix. I really love all snacks equal

3. Do you like receiving gift cards? Yup

4. Do you like burned music cds or orignals? Either... it doesn't make a difference to me.

5. Do you like cookbooks? If so, are there any in particular you would like? I only have one and it kind of sucks. I would like a cookbook that has recipes that only require like common ingredients you normally have at home. Does that make sense?

 

[royalenchntrss]

Awww I missed the secret santa post! Booo! This will be the first year that I havent done it. Stupid work takin' all my time lately....

Me too!

Anyone else have any hints for their SS's?

I should have added that I like funky drinking glasses (wine, margarita, etc) and that Abby is not a fan of fake sheep fleece. I have to cover her beds that are lined in it.

 

[sillyjilly]

Not anything I can think of!

 

[taurus77]

I love chocolate covered cherries!! Yumm-o!! (milk chocolate, of course)

 

[kluchetta]

Hmmm...I haven't posted anything...and haven't been asked to. Either I'm totally transparent, or my SS knows me already.

I wonder....

 

[sillyjilly]

We could have all sent your SS hints already!
