My neighbors David and Sergio leave tomorrow to spend Xmas with their families in Los Angeles, but today they brought me over this gorgeously wrapped gift:
Imagine my surprise, however, when I removed the wrappings to find this perfectly ordinary brown cup:
This is the couple whose outrageously beautiful Xmas decorations I showed last year. There is not an ordinary object in their house! Ha. A gag gift, for sure. Then Sergio insisted I make a cup of coffee and pour it into the cup and voilá! This transformation occurred:
Remember when they gave me the Cheetos Torciditos beach towel last Xmas? They will stop at nothing to support my mania for this incredible snack. Sorry, though, not available outside of Mexico. Suffice it to say, however, that I have never served them to a single person who didn’t become an immediate addict. David and Sergio are even taking two large bags of them with them to the U.S. Add a glass of my Sangria alongside and perfection is served!!!
Touché, guys. You have again won the Xmas gift prize.

And, once I’d sipped the dregs from the cup:
How to stop the Cheetos from disappearing? Perhaps this is the solution:
But it is going to take some willpower to enact this plan!!!
