Well Christmas break is done

Christmas has come and gone and it seems that I was very good this year. I got even more than what I hoped for.  And we got snow……it has been about a week with snow on the ground and a fire in the fireplace.  Made it seem extra Christmasy  to see all the lights and snow and cold.  However I am done with it now, all the snow and below freezing weather can go away. If you want it take with you as you leave.

Christmas dinner was very good if I do say so myself.  I will be writing more about the meal in the food section. But just to give you a hint…..the cooking lessons I got from Le Gourmand for Dec.  made an appearance with a few additions from me.  We had Greg, Cade and Matt for dinner.  New Year eve was also Greg, Cade and Matt.  Jeff and Andrew came out New Year’s day for games and what not.  I do think a good time was had by all.

Snow Days and Thanksgiving

As you all know it snowed in Seattle last week.  It put a kink in planning thanksgiving dinner.  I did not get to go to the market downtown for the last minute items that I was going to pick up.  So a couple of items were dropped or changed in the menu I planned for T-day.  Luckily I did pick up charcoal for the turkey before I came home on  Monday.  That leads me to school and  snow, I went into class on Monday to find out that they were closing the school at 2:00 in the afternoon.  My  first class starts at 1:00  so it was kind of a bust for me.  Then for the rest of the week there was no classes for me.  That was a mixed blessing.  It helped me in having lots of time to make the meal, Tuesday – dinner rolls, Wednesday -  the pies, brineing the turkey, and other prep work.  But I didn’t do a thing for school.  All that time and I didn’t get ahead of the class work.  Oh well, Thanksgiving was good and I did have a lot of fun making the meal.  If you want to find out what I made check out my food page.
