Picture Catch-up Post Part 1

Since it's been so long since Christmas and New Years, I figured I'd just put up some pictures of all the delicious food that we ate and not go into loads of detail since it was a while ago. I will have to upload all the food pics from my camera for NYE to another post.

The week before Christmas we surprised Mrs. Ryan with Pierce's homecoming. Originally, he was trying to surprise his whole family but then his dad and brother found out so only Mrs. Ryan was the one in the dark.  He had told her that he couldn't come home for Christmas because of a class that he was taking.  He and Christopher had been planning this for months.  My mom made a turkey and came up with a bogus reason for them to come over for a pre-Christmas dinner.

Christopher and I planned and executed out Christmas day dinner as we did last year.  I was particularly pleased with the way my tiger prawns turned out. 

I think Christopher's eyeballs might have bulged when
he saw the time table I wrote out for us.

I'm getting way better at my knife cuts.

I look like a hunch back, but I was concentrating.

My Mom's gift from us. 

Hiatus

Hi Everyone,

My blog will be going on hiatus for the next couple of weeks.  I'm engrossed in reading the Hunger Games series so I've been doing that on all of my spare time, including lunch, which is usually my blog time.  Once I'm done with the series I'll try to get back on schedule.

For the Emmydooz fans

My Dad is putting up Crown Moulding for me and borrowed
a compressor from a friend.  When he was finished for the
day he put it on Emmy's bed.  I think she's come to terms with
it living there for a little bit.

With the cold weather and gloomy days Emmy has been sleeping a lot.  She
finds my sleeping bag at my parent's house and my bed to be the most comfortable.
Sometimes I think she looks at me and thinks "Where are you going to sleep?"

Today's Lunch

I have so much to blog about but have been, welp, lazy. So to get back on track, this is what I had for lunch today.  We had so much cheese left over from our New Year's Eve: Grilled Cheese Bar party that I had to make sandwich stuffed with it.  Smoked Gouda and turkey might be my new favorite sandwich.
