The mango salsa I served with the pork was, in der B's words, too crunchy.  It was, however, store-bought (and store brand).

I'm thinking next time heating it up, so the mango softens and the flavors meld.

More mouths in the shape of the letter "o" from pre-verbal tykes seeing me in my Santa hat at work today.

Perhaps even more tomorrow.

Which will arrive too soon - I start early, and should beddy-bye myself.

I've come up with a politically incorrect variant lyric to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".  It's my reaction to listening to the same dang Christmas songs (but no carols) over and over while at work.  But it's too rude for me to post here.

Love the idea of letting DR Jose know that he is missed and that his return will be a welcome one.

Am STILL fighting a cold that "wants" to take hold.  So far, though...AIRBORNE seems to be keeping it at bay.

Once again, DR MBarnum has unearthed a cherished Christmas album from my yout', Don Janse's Little Drummer Boy.  The version I remember had different cover art, but the gilt title was same.  I was never allowed to play this one at 45 rpm--it had "holy" Christmas music on it.

Now if I could only find the Guy Lombardo Christmas album...

Three hundred posts - let's not slow down now, for heaven's sake.  I began watching the documentary Wordplay, but even though I'm a crossword fan, I found it not so interesting, so I'm moving on to something else.

"BONES" in real life:

Skull mystery deepens

Quote
A Montebello man flagged down a police officer after he found a skull wrapped in paper towels and a plastic bag in a trash can. A four-page letter near the skull, written in Spanish, explained that it was found in the desert in Mexico while the writer was crossing into the U.S. (Montebello Police Department)

I saw it in the theatre and really liked it. The whole subculture of the fanatics, the way the minds of the creators work Dunkin' Donuts---move the D to the end and you have "Unkind Donuts", etc.

We were with Ken Burns, who is in the film, when we saw it so maybe that added an extra element...

MBarnum, there is a package on its way to you today.

I have yet to wait in a long line for the post office or any stores. It doesn't feel like Christmas!

A director that Greg works with a lot took us out for dinner at a fancy restuarant. It was delish, but now I'll probably be waking up at 4:30AM!

Vanilla/ginger creme brulee, just as an example...
