Mary Had A Little Lamb

On Boxing Day (Dec 26), Gavin and I made a roast lamb for dinner and enjoyed it with a beautiful Australian Shiraz that Yamin gave to us. He carried it all the way from Sydney! The wine matched the lamb and Gavin made an amazing fresh mint sauce. Delish!

A digital thermometer. A must have for any roast!

Perfection!

Frist vs Bryd

Did anyone hear the All Things Considered (NPR) ** piece about the Alito nomination and the potential filibuster? Sen Bill Frist (R-TN) and Sen Robert Byrd (D-WV) really went at it (relative to other Senate debates).

If you haven't heard it, check it out. All I have to say is, Whoa! When an 88 year old Senator from West Virginia puts the smack down on a Bushie rubber-stamp lackie, you have to pay attention.

Byrd is pissed and called out the Republicans.

** When not listening to STAR 101.9 (KUCD-FM), you may listen to Air America or NPR.

Christmas!

The holidays had me so busy this year, that I didn't get a chance to blog about your Christmas, so here we go! (Better late than never, right?)

Gavin made homemade eggnog, which ended up being the hit of the party. I don't know about you, but I absolutely LOVE eggnog! After drinking his wonderfuly festive concoction, I can't go back to drinking store bought nog.

Christmas night was spent over at Michael, Brian & Rob's house. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment.
