Hmmm, now that WOULD be a worry

Well, after two days off, back to work in the morning. It will be a short day.

Christmas was a quiet day for just us mostly. We visited Jacquie's brother in the afternoon, and our nephew took five minutes out of playing with the Wii to open his gift and say thank you.

Dinner for two was roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, with gravy, wax beans and rice. All gluten-free, of course.

We had the family gathering on my side this evening, with my brothers, their wives, and my parents. Open Original Shared Link was the host this year. They had some gingerbread cookies by El Peto. Mmmm.

'Mornin', POeter! Been meaning to tell you that Jack finally got hold of Rob's latest (I think it's his most recent........ . . . .."Watch", I believe), and he loved it. Sophie halfhazardly picked it up in a sci-fi-is-SOOOO-uncool-and-totally-not-my-thing fashion and, despite herself, could not put it down. Jack wrote a message to Rob on his website about it and got a very nice, attentive answer.

Jack is wondering if he could come to Rob's house with you next Christmas, as he has too many other questions to feasibly be posting on the website.

mmm Having a big bowl of bean soup for brekky (thanks K-wren!). Christmas from my bro and SIL was food based. Gigantic saute pan, oil mister, Barbara Kingsolver Open Original Shared Link, ginger scented lotion (may need that after the bowl of beans), and a box of gluten-free chips and crackers and asparagus tapenade.

I'm getting them a Open Original Shared Link

Mustn't be my mom's recipe!

[Jestgar]

Carrots, celery, green peppers, cilantro, onions, black beans, white beans, garlic powder, ham, home made turkey broth. Crock over night, then add smoked paprika and a little hot sauce.

Sounds yummy. Not my mom's recipe - light colored dried beans, salt & pepper & ham.

We do a three-year rotation, so Rob is next up in 2013. This coming year is Alan's turn.

Watch is the latest, the second volume in the WWW trilogy. Wonder is due out in April, and Rob will be doing another Canadian tour for the launch, and he plans to include Ottawa.

No gluten-free cooking forays gone bad that you could appease them with?

Dunno about appease - but it could help drive them away

or make them so heavy they can't fly at you. Hard to be attacked by pigeons with indigestion waddling at you.

[kareng]

The starlings stayed in the trees for about 15 very loud minutes. Suddenly, it went silent and they flew away. Maybe just waiting for a freshly washed car to go by.

The only exciting news from the NW is that it's STILL raining.

Bah! humbug. It is STILL raining here too - all day, and cold and blowing. I am consoling myself with reading and cryptic crosswords, and eating too much - have now switched to a glass of wine since it's five o'clock

'Tis extraordinary, really... . . . . ....Ottawa is known for its cold, snow-laden winters, and yet this city has somehow miraculously been completely sideswiped by ALL of the horrific blizzard activity that has been pounding the surrounding areas. Got nuttin' here - - perhaps 12 cm of psnaough since the start of winter.

Must go out and buy a lottery ticket, methinks.. . . . ..

We know quite a few people whose holiday travel plans have been skippered. Patteigh! How are youse faring after the 51 cm??

Things are pretty much back to normal here as of this morning--the Governor's office called for a snow emergency yesterday. Mark went in to work yesterday without too much difficulty (although to be phair, our cars are in a parking garage so he didn't have to dig out like a lot of pholks did).

The winds were awful--finally dying down this morning.

It's supposed to be close to 50 by the week's end.

You sure did send it here- we got 9 + inches. We initially had such heavy snow and winds that you couldn't drive. Then the winds were unbelievable through last night.

I'll be offline and in bed as I seem to have the flu. Does Celiac make you more susceptible to illnesses? I seem to just keep getting sick. Spent the past two days in bed already. We have all these movies we want to go see but right now getting the energy to shower is all I can muster. Clark is actually going to the supermarket with a mini shopping list.

I miss my psillies. Sending Non Contagious Hugs,

Loey Lane

P.S. sorry if this was whiny. Clark's off for the whole week and so far I've slept through most of it.

Hi Patti,

Not to sound crude (tee hee) but how many inches did you get?
