Strange. I just came across "eleemosynary" this week in "House of the Seven Gables."

And a very special Merry Christmas to BK for bringing us together, not only this day, but every day of the year!

There must have been something in the air last night. I watched "Holiday Inn," too, after "Magoo."

Vixdad's Mum has been rushed to the hospital - she has been in the emergency room for the past 72 hours due to hospital overcrowding - apparently there is virus going around that is hittingthe elderly population quite hard -

we have been relying on Vixdad's sister for info

Apparently, one of the little boys who was here last night, who was sort of sullen when he first arrived, wants to come live here because he thought I was so funny.

Vixdad is quite ill - running a fever - nauseous and coughing like crazy

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** December 25, 2010, 09:01:53 AM »

So much for sleeping in - I think the kick in the sauce was a little kickier than usual.

I actually had almost no presents to open - I never have many - gone are the days when vendors would send gifts to their best clients - in the Varese years I got great stuff - now, nothing. In fact, I got a nice bouquet from the Pogue's and the Haverty's always bring something that you have to open. But I don't care about that stuff - I care about the wonderful people who were here and the wonderful, generous, gentle souls that bless my life, that's what I care about.

And I awoke to a nice e-mail from Pino Donaggio asking me if I had a Carrie for him.

So can any of our chefs tell me if it is Ok for the very expensive cut of beef that has been marinating in a red wine/beef broth marinade to continue marinating another 24 hours before I cook it?
