			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When we were first dating, <a href="http://braxonfood.se" target="_blank">my wife</a> to be gave me a box of home-made fortune cookies with personal messages (one of them suggested that I should get a drivers license. Five years later, I finally got around to it. Another simply said ”Heart of Gold, Brain of Jam”. She was on to me at the start). A stream of thoughtful, witty and useful gifts later (she converted me to mac, for instance), the beginning of december brought around  one of the nicest yet: the Liquorice Christmas Calender. </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I’ve gone on <a href="http://www.dn.se/insidan/njutning-viktigare-an-vi-tror-1.959670" target="_blank">record</a> declaring my devotion to liquorice, listing it as one of my main sources of pleasure. I also have a  thing for weekday-labeled socks. Alice combined these two things so that each day of december, there is a weekday sock stuffed with delicious liquorice of some variety I haven’t tried before. All have been interesting, and has helped me define my preferences, and some have been just fantastically good eatin´.There is a <a href="http://www.lakritsroten.se/index.htm" target="_blank">specialist shop</a> Stockholm which I have yet to visit, but when I do, I now know just what to look for. (I think I’ll wait a bit, though, making january ”liver failure awareness month”).</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I try to reciprocate, of course, and hope to have covered some distance by dedicating my <a href="http://www.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=12588&amp;postid=1455027" target="_blank">dissertation</a> to her.</span></p>
