I’ll share more about breakfast in a bit, but wanted to first thank all of you that came out for husband’s birthday celebration at the bar last night. We had a grand time and arrived home around 1 AM this morning. It had stopped snowing by then, but a light dusting still was on the ground.

…there are not problems. Only situations.

This is what we were told by our transport driver enroute from the Montego Bay Airport to our resort, the Grand Palladium Jamaica.

We had a good time. We remembered that we are food and alcohol snobs, but had a great time laying poolside watching the waves in the sun. The weather was beautiful and the company was wonderful.

We didn’t take any pictures, but the picture above is from someone else who has been to the Grand Palladium Jamaica.

We arrived home late last night and have already been to the post office, the big box store, the grocery store, and we picked up Lucky. I’m sitting in bed drinking coffee. Husband is playing WoW. Lucky is sprawled out sleeping and Christmas songs are blasting.

Life is good.



Misfit Thanksgiving

My lovely friend KH planned and arranged a Misfit Thanksgiving for a group of us that weren’t going to our respective homes/families. We had a grand time. I took collards braised in red wine (subbed mushroom stock for the chicken stock though) as my contribution and we also took a few bottles of red wine and an apple pie from Whole Paycheck. Here are some pics I took as I was prepping the collards after I got home from the gym yesterday.

A couple of my knitting girls went too. CorporateMonkey took some fantastic pictures. Old friends and new friends are excellent. KH and I both had our reservations as to whether or not the groups would mix well. No worries. Everyone got along famously.
