Merry Christmas, Y'all.

Thank you, and to you too
Here's to good and happiness!
(sorry, bad pun, I know!)

Are you sure you want to have elf puns? Before you know it, there will be stampeding ephants.

Well, just between you & me Paul, better puns than pun-ters*snicker snickers*


then again,... *pours another spiced rum/egg nog*


yes Merry Christmas everyone!


or festivefelicitations of one sort or another.

Many, many years ago, when I was a college senior living off-campus, I was at a party given by my sister and her husband. I brought a date. My brother-in-law put so much rum (or whatever) into the eggnog that I was too to escort my date back to her dorm....

This is one of the reasons why I no longer drink.

Ah, probably a wise decision...I try not to overdo it. A friend cited a...'1-2-4 rule'(I believe it was. One beer, possibly a second, but an hour later-as opposed to one-right-after-another. And no more than four a week...it seems to me that was the gist of it.

That sounds like a sensible formula. Not that I drink beer. If (and it's a big if) I were to drink alcohol, it would be a bit of good champagne or sherry or schnappes. I keep burgundy and white wine on hand for cooking. The guy I bought it from said that you should not cook with any wine that you wouldn't enjoy drinking.

I could use a good around here. The place is in need of a sorting and cleaning.

Ever heard the 12 Y'ats of Christmas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yQIb2ouzuw&feature=share

Are y'all ready for the new year?

Well, 'bout as ready as I can get...seeing a friend later, just watched the Sydney Harbour fireworks onliine. Happy New Year everyone!!(a Belgian Rochefort 10 just before midnight local time)

Happy New Year!

My neighbors did a load of fireworks last night. Thankfully, they started early and quit before midnight.

Today is a bit drippy weather wise. Tomorrow, we start inventory at the store. I'm hoping that since the scanner made it much faster last year that having already done it once with the scanner, this year will be even faster.

I spent New year's Eve with some friends, and then slept over at their house. They have twelve cats, which made things interesting during the night. Several cats visited my cot during the night. In the morning, they served waffles and a nice omelet.

By "they," I mean my hosts, not the cats. These cats do no cooking.

I am trying to teach my to make coffee. No luck so far.

Hmm,"These cats do no cooking", conjures up images of a Jazz restaurant, menu reading something like "...& our special, whipped up by the culinary s in the kitchen..." *insert ersatz sax noodling *

How about this image from the Judy Garland movie Gay Purr ee?

I never saw "Gay Purree," but I enjoyed the sound track album.

You realize the title looks like a blender recipe?
