I've been watching that movie as a annual tradition every year since it came out. I probably know all the lines. It still cracks me up. I know but I'm cheap in that regards. Jonathan has offered to help. I may get him involved next year. It's so good. https://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/Its-an-Iowa-Thing/ Why because I am a Christmas freak and as hard work as it is, once it's all up I love the feel and coziness it brings to my home. I keep saying some year I will scale back but so far I haven't. Except for the fact I did not put up my vintage aluminum Christmas tree because I did not have room in the living room. The dog crate is taking up that space now.

I do channel my inner Clark Griswald. No Egg Noodles on top of the mashed potatoes and gravy? That's what I live for. Great news Sue! Congrats on the weight loss. I'm about 6 pounds away from my pre cruise weight loss in September. Unfortunately the holidays are bad for me. I love to eat. Hopefully I'll keep the weight gain at a minimum. I'm sure you will keep on doing great in time for the Bella cruise.

Hoping to finish up Christmas decorating outdoors today. Yesterday was a long day setting up the animated trees. I'm just getting too old for this stuff. My knees were hurting so bad I couldn't hardly walk last night. And then my poor shoulder working on a 12 foot ladder trying to plug in over 20 extension cords on the 12 foot tree. Pictures to come soon.

Mine was from Miami port to Miami airport. Sorry if I did not answer original question.

Cab to airport was $40 back in September.

I use these clipped onto my belt loop. Look great and stay out of the way. https://www.amazon.com/Retractable-Holders-Carabiner-Vertical-Kevlar/dp/B07KGQQHCJ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3J7K0CBVBJPWV&keywords=retractable+badge+holders&qid=1668966652&sprefix=retrac%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-5

Ha, Right behind it is a full bottle of Meleti that I got the day before "just in case." I made the "Sea Dog Old Fashion's for my two male guests and they really liked them. Those stuffies look fantastic. Your dinner sounds delicious. I too forgot to take any pictures. I was so focused on cooking everything in time and getting it served that I forgot to take some pictures. I am weird in that when I have a dinner party I have my guests sit and then I serve them, no self serving. I try to make dinner at my home as much as restaurant experience as I can. It was challenging making cocktails and cooking the risotto at the same time. I pretty much baby sat the steaks so they would not get over cooked. Most everyone liked their steak medium rare to medium which was good.

She’s better but still admits her stamina is not 100%. Everything is prepped. steaks marinated for 8 hours. Chocolate martini glasses chilling Twice baked potatoes ready to be be reheated Black Truffle Seafood Risotto prepped. Bacon wrapped asparagus ready to go into oven then drizzled with balsamic vinegar glaze reduction. Chocolate bomb cake ready to be dropped. Will serve will a scoop of chocolate silk ice cream and a chocolate martini. It is death by chocolate. Bar stocked ready for cocktails. Hope everything goes well and I don’t screw something up. What dish did you make?

Yes I have thought of that I’m pretty much going to do everything since I am further a long than her. I do most of the cooking anyway. When we got married our arrangement was whoever gets home first starts making dinner. Since she was an assistant prosecutor and lawyer she worked way more hours than me. Since before we were married I was a bachelor who alway ate out and never cooked. Matter of fact in two apartments I lived in over a total of 14 years the stove was never turned on. So when I got the opportunity to cook it was exciting for me. I got to the point where I got quite good at it. We balance each other out since she is better at the bills and finances and cleaning. I’ll take cooking any day.
