What's Cookin' for the Holidays...

"Spaghetti Burgers ala Wild Mama." A family favorite, or so they tell me. They're actually hamburger patty-shaped meatball sandwiches, as far as I can tell, but the wife LOVES them and can't get enough of these traditional delicacies. Here they are, simmering before the Christmas Dinner.
(Word of wisdom: don't make vegetable lasagna for your meat-loving family--they won't eat it.)
(More words of wisdom: do not criticize the wife about the lack of food products for the Christmas meal when she is in the process of making said meal.)
(Biggest words of wisdom: order a pizza and call it a day.)

Bah Humbug! Freckles has had enough of the holidays AND enough of this hat.
Lucy finds out "there is no Santa Claus."

The newest in shoes: youngest niece shows off her rollerskate gymshoes. Ho ho ho! She zipped around the kitchen like it was a roller rink. No one was hurt but the wife did experience a few moments of sheer terror when youngest niece went flying by the baker's rack and into the refrigerator....

My cup runneth over.....this is the new "sport" for the masses--speed stacking. I'm not kidding. Some drunk in a bar probably created this game and is now a zillionare. Much time was spent on Christmas day cup stacking. I've gotta tell ya--it's a lot harder than it looks, especially when challenged by a 13 year old professional speed stacker of a niece.
Finally, if you are bored and lonely and have run out of cups to stack and you have some time on your hands new years eve, go to www.20Q.net
I don't know how it does it, but it's mighty fun. Oujui oujui!!!!
