Slept off and on. So I ended up sleeping later than I expected.

Should I know who Stephen Farrow is, since I'm somehow blocked from seeing his posts on Facebook?   I see people responding to Stephen Farrow by name, but not what Stephen Farrow is saying.

I don't know who he is, DR Freddie, but I see he has some friends in common, such as former DR D(t)M.

Boxing Day greetings!  We had a very quiet Christmas Day, the highlight of which was a 3-party live chat with Rob’s household in Illinois and the other grandparents in Michigan.  We got to watch Charlotte and Hannah open a huge box that spewed forth half a dozen BLUE balloons, signifying the new sibling will be a brother!

The most ambitious things I’ve done over the past several days have been in the kitchen:

Sunday - Christmas cookies
Monday - Lemon lime Jello cottage cheese surprise (aka Green Stuff)
Tuesday - Vegetable beef soup
Wednesday - reasonable facsimile of a turkey dinner

The upshot is a refrigerator full of fabulous leftovers.  We just had Richard’s favorite “morning after” breakfast - turkey bacon sandwiches on whole wheat toast.

The "First Night of Hanukkah" party was a great success.

That's nice.  Were any Jewish desserts were served?

We also had bagels and cream cheese and smoked salmon (but not lox).

Do you mean those fat pieces of smoked salmon?  And you put that on bagels and cream cheese  :o
