The Gaggle

Christmas Day at the In-Laws. I don't think these geese are aware of what day it is.



Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Hopefully Santa Claus made it to your house before the thunderstorms and hail started.

Salmon Chowder

Made salmon chowder tonight for a pot luck at work tomorrow.  It's really good.  I put more dill in it than I meant to, but after tasting it I think it made for a better flavor.  Here's a picture of the finished pot:

Mmmm...
The recipe from allrecipes.com couldn't have been simpler.  Maybe that's why it's called Simple Salmon Chowder II.  I doubled the recipe to make the full pot in the picture.

Possum Surprise

Went to put the faucet covers on and found a couple of toothy new friends in the backyard:

I'll call this one Bitey...

...and this one A Series of Painful Shots In The Stomach, or Cuddles, for short.

Feline Finds Peculiar Position



Dangerously comfortable

Dot must lay on the clean sheets

Norma's Cafe

Lunch today at Norma's Cafe. So hot, so homemade, so good. The portions were way too big, but thanks to the miracle of to-go containers, I have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow taken care of.

Or, if I don't want to end my sentence in a preposition:  I have taken care of dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow.

I feel better now.
