Happy 2008! Hard to believe that I don’t have my flying car yet!
We had a fun Christmas, with Mike’s family, including two nephews, who kept us entertained for hours. New Year’s Eve was nice and mellow at home with some wine, game playing, a big green hat and a pink feather boa were involved and [...]
I used up the last of my previously mentioned gift certificate on this cookbook:
