eat your hearts out

We (I say that loosely—Tom is the master in the kitchen) have been trying out some recipes from an Indian cookbook I borrowed from the library. The salad: carrots with mustard seed and raisins.

On the stove, pork vindaloo. And next, some green beans with garlic and mustard seed. I'm all in favor of this hobby.

There are seasonal lights and there are seasonal lights (check out John's blog). We are not in a hurry to take down our display.

Eileen and Roger sent us these snowmen, powered by a solar battery, to install along our garden path. Thank you, Bridget, for the photo.

It was good to talk to everyone who was sitting around the living room at 413 Fair Oaks on Friday night. A little bit of carousing is good for that house.
