Christmas

[dianec42]

Had a very nice, very mellow Christmas morning with stuartc. flyingwolf showed up in the afternoon and we had a very mellow afternoon. Some more baking took place, including the most awesomely yummy mini pecan pies ever (mape syrup RULES!), then we had Christmas dinner of duck and veggies (no leftover duck! boo!) and mince pies and chocolate chip cookies and the aforementioned awesome mini pecan pies. Today we failed utterly to score useful cat toys, but flyingwolf got some cool stuff at the model train store, and then we froze our butts off on Venice Beach. Came home and had a tiny fire, which we're allowing to die down because we're probably going to go out for dinner soon. We're stubbornly continuing in the "mellow" vein, refusing to have enough energy to actually get up and do anything energetic. Forecast is continuing mellowness and pies for the next few days...

I'll look for reasonably priced cat toys later this week. They've got to go on sale soon. Sigh. Nothing will beat the haul I got at WalMart the one year. But PetCo in MD had their stuff 50% off on the 26th last year.

What's maple syrup doing in SoCal?

What's maple syrup doing in SoCal?

Melting. Duh.

(I think it's Canadian maple syrup, so we can probably blame NAFTA.)

Oh yeah, and tasting really really excellent in our pecan pie-lets.

Sounds like you're having perfect weather! Then again, it is Southern California... ;-)
