and want to go home.  This day just can't end fast enough.  Having all those short holiday weeks has not prepared me well for a full 5 day week.  A 3 or 4 day week definitely seems like a better work week length. Aren't they always saying that Americans work too much?

We went out for the traditional Jewish Christmas eve dinner of Chinese food with Sam's parents.  The place was obviously obviously populated exclusively by Jews.  Belle was being her usually friendly self charming the waitresses and saying hi to the big table of people next to us.  Then as we were leaving the table wished us a Happy Hanukkah we ( Read more... )

Last night we made a cooks illustrated recipe where you cook chicken or fish in a pouch with veggies.  The chicken turned out kind of rubbery, but was still tasty anyways.  We made this recipe a long time ago with fish, and it was much better with fish.

INGREDIENTS:

1. 1/4 tsp table salt
2. 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3. 2 Tbsp olive oil
4. 1 medium shallot ( Read more... )

I can't say that I really DID a lot this weekend, but it was exhausting none the less.  Babies seem to make things tiring sometimes, and Belle is going through some kind of phase.  My Mom has been in town for the past week and that has been great.  Its been nice having an extra set of hands around ( Read more... )

Yesterday we went to a shooting range and tried out some hand guns.  I'd never shot a gun before, and the closest I've come to holding a gun is holding one of my dad's antiques (shotgun cane). I wasn't too keen on it, but it was a really good experience.  I was a pretty good shot right from the start (yay video games).  Sam and I both liked pistols ( Read more... )

Last night we had a little guys night. Guys nights are the best, but man am I tired today.  I'm not hung over, but I definitely don't sleep nearly as well after I've been drinking.  I could really use a nap.

The old cowboy was in town this weekend.  Friday night we had them over for dinner, and I don't know if I would call it a TOTAL disaster, but I would call it a disaster.  Dad rambled on for literally 3 hours non stop. I made some burgers and fries on the grill and we hung out on the back porch drinking scotch.  Which was fine, except that he got ( Read more... )
