Well-seasoned Greetings

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone. I write this post amidst the gift-opening barrage that seems to happen after every Christmas morning. Sweaters are tried on, slippers are slid on, and cinnamon rolls are scarfed down by the triples. Rolling around on my couch, I am drifting in and out of a delirious, over-indulgence coma. Luckily, no one rampant pack of hillbilly hounds ate our wide selection of cookies, candies, and sweets. BUMPUSES!!!

In other news, This year was kind to my pantry and cooking endeavors. Wrapped in a cylindrical bundle of joy came my first of 12 Food Network Magazine issues. What coffee/kitchen table reading that will make! Perhaps there will be star recipes so I can make my very own Bobby Flay Mignon (zing!). The real show stopper was my second of a future smorgasbord of Wusthof Classic kitchen knives. My 8″ chef knife was getting lonely, so luckily I can bring home a 5″ Santoku knife to keep him company.

I ran like Ralphie Parker with my Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle and started chopping. Because after all, nothing screams Christmas like a bunch of cut-up carrots.

I certainly can’t shoot my eye out, though losing a digit or two seems within the realm of possibility. At any rate, I hope all of you who continue to check this blog with frustration had a wonderful holiday. Maybe my gift to you all will be more content. Ha!
